As the second expansion pack to The Sims 3, the best-selling PC game of
2009**, The Sims 3 Ambitions allows players to pursue a variety of exciting
paths and careers in their Sims’ lives that in turn affect their overall
gameplay experience and neighborhood. In The Sims 3 Ambitions, players can
choose to hunt down vengeful spirits as the ghost hunter, invent brilliant and
potentially destructive gadgets as an inventor, craft glorious masterpieces as a
sculptor, and solve riveting cases by any means necessary as an investigator
with dozens of cases to solve and numerous clues to find. For the first time,
players will be in charge of how their Sims’ career progresses and decide if
they will work for good or evil, pursue creative endeavors or technical affairs,
climb to the top quickly, or be a slacker. The future of a Sims’ success or
failure is entirely in the hands of the player.

The Sims 3 Ambitions Expansion pack for the PC and Mac will ship to retailers
worldwide the week of June 1, 2010. The Sims 3 Ambitions will also be available
