So, a relative bought The Sims 3: Ambitions for me. And wow, it was so worth deleting my other games! I've got a fire chief and a sculptor living with a teacher, whose husband is going to be a cop, and their daughter is going to be a doctor. Cops, of course, are old news; but I've got the fire truck; now I want the police car.
Ambitions came with this really swampy area filled with really ugly people. The Bayless family in particular is pretty homely. I did, stupidly, start out with a stylist (which was so boring I had more fun washing the dishes, at which time I was wondering if Ambitions was a waste) and I tried giving a makeover to one of the townies, but he still looks like a very bored monkey. Anyway, I'm strongly tempted to add Seasons to the mix, because I think it will complement the ugliness of the world.
I still had custom content installed from the base game, which I did not uninstall. So my sculptor is a Geisha. And I'm thinking of changing the daughter's name, Easter Cooley, to Dr. Cooley MD when she becomes a doctor.
But I think the best news of all is that I finally learned how to upload a house to the Exchange. I made an "apartment", except I forgot to add a kitchen to one unit and the Sims only want to use one of the laundry rooms. So it's online, problems included. I guess I'll either have to fix it, or they will when they download. But hey, the front and back yards look great! I did fix the house for myself when I realized my error.
My fire chief is thrown award ceremonies sometimes. It's so cool how the City Hall fills up with people who celebrate her very pres-ence.

lol! Ambitions is a really great expansion; I think I've only had Ghost Hunters (which is cool because you have to actually DO stuff with your working Sim and you can collect ghosts), and as I recall, they get ceremonies and awards, too. :D
ReplyDeleteMy firefighter fulfilled her wish to save 30 Sims today, so now I can move her out and focus on the family. It's a good thing, too, because I cannot take any more of those alarms and sirens. I'm tired of getting a headache and cutting my game short every time. Haven't explored the other careers, but it would be neat to have ghosts lighting up my yard at night.
DeleteI don't think they glow like proper lights, but they're bright enough that you can't miss them :D
DeleteI stacked mine up in rainbows when I had them, lol
Never tried the firefighting thing, but it sounds awesome!
It is. I sent my girl to work several hours early so she could maintain and upgrade her equipment, which has to be done every day. She eventually got her own fire bell, so she could work from home.
DeleteToday I installed Seasons. And now I have to uninstall it (and another newer game), piss me off, because somehow two Origin games and one disc game have gobbled up every last inch of space on my terabyte. So I kept Ambitions.
Great, it didn't even help much. Lorne thinks it's a virus; and if he's right, it doesn't even matter that I lost everything because virus protection for Windows 7 is ending soon. I might as well take a hammer to my computer!
Delete:(
DeleteYou can buy virus protection, though ... and you should; whatever happened on Facebook seemed to be trying to do the same thing to mine. I've been fighting it since I stopped talking to Mom ... :|
I'll have to save up for it, I guess. It sucks that money is such an issue. I haven't done anything that I've wanted to do, and I don't know when last I ate somewhere fancy. With menus!
DeleteMy last time might've been November 2012, lol ...
DeleteBut it's worth it if it helps! :)
It's too late...everything's gone, even all my books!!! T_T
Delete:( :( :(
DeleteHow? Was it reset?
No, it turns out there was a virus. A lot of them, actually. And deleting them deleted everything else because they were infected.
DeleteI keep remembering stuff I had written. It feels like a punch to the stomach.
That really sucks, I'm so sorry to hear it :(
DeleteDid the trouble start after downloading that Nightwish font? I seem to remember learning my lesson about downloading fonts the hard way, too. :(
No, that's still here; it's fine. The trouble came from The Sims 4.
Delete:O The Sims 4 gave you major computer problems?? :(
DeleteI was thinking of re-installing mine, if I can get the goofy thing to work - maybe I won't, if it's that bad!
You might not have the spyware. In any case, Lorne wants you to bring it on over so he can help ya!
Deletelol, maybe if it was a laptop issue ... but I think I've got it sorted for now ... fingers crossed :o
DeleteHi,
DeleteCan you write me the names of those six songs you used in your Music I Can't Live Without video, please? YouTube says the video's unavailable and I stupidly didn't write the songs down myself ...
