**Gameplay:**
In The Sims 3 Ambitions, players have more direct control over their Sims' careers and ambitions. The expansion introduces new professions, each with its unique tasks and activities. Unlike in the base game of The Sims 3, where Sims typically disappear during work hours, players can now actively follow their Sims to work and influence their actions.
Players can choose from a range of professions, from helping Sims fight fires as firefighters to designing homes as architects or solving mysteries as investigators. Each profession comes with specific tasks and objectives that players must complete to advance in their careers.
In addition to the new professions, Ambitions also allows Sims to become self-employed. Players can create their businesses, manage employees (if applicable), and work towards the success of their enterprises.
