 Not Bad But I Got it For Free So . . . June 21, 2010
The Lovely Miss N (New Jersey)
I called EA about a problem I was having with the Ambitions expansion pack. The guy was very helpful and it didn't take long to resolve my issue. As a bonus, he gave me a coupon sent via email for World Ambitions (which he explained should have been installed BEFORE Ambitions but I don't buy every expansion pack all the time). Anyway, the coupon was for $[...] and as of Friday when I logged on to EA's website and bought it, it was $[...] so I paid nothing for it. I had no intentions of buying it, so getting it free was worth the exploration.
Well, I played all weekend and so far I've only explored France. The few adventures I've had haven't been very difficult; just enough fun to keep the game interesting. I did hit one "glitch" when I entered a tomb and couldn't figure out how why I was supposed to slide some statues around, but after about 10 minutes, I figured that out. Since the Sim I was playing is an Angler, I caught some frogs to take home with me so I can now make frog legs for dinner. I just throw one in the Omni plant to keep from having to return to get more.
I agree that the cities could be a bit more populated but then again, when a vacation starts out at 3 days, you don't have a lot of time to meet people if you're exploring adventures to get coins and VISA points.
I give the expansion two thumbs up but only 3 stars for now because I have to play some more to say whether I love it or not. But for free, I like it enough.

I baught this game thinking that it was going to be a lot of fun.The problem is, is that this game is not made my the same creator as the sims, and the Sims 2 was made by. So i just think that the new creator really ruined the whole Sims thing.
 A first for The Sims series June 17, 2010

I purchased this after reading all sorts of bad reviews on this expansion pack. Glitches, bugs, and problems were supposedly everywhere. I purchased it anyways hoping to have no problems. AND I DIDN'T. I've not once had any glitches or bugs come up because of this expansion.
New Features I like:
Traveling! I love being able to travel to China and Egypt and France and the new skills you can learn in those areas.
Tombs! I LOVE LOVE LOVE exploring the tombs and solving the mysteries. Having to have a tent and the food morsels adds to the adventure of it all.
Calling overseas! I like the fact that you can now make long distance phone calls and invite foreign friends to stay for a few days.
Cons:
I would have liked to see more traits added with the expansion pack. A few were added, but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
More job careers. My one grievance with the game in general is there's not enough options for careers. I would like to see many more added.
Overall I would recommend anyone who plays The Sims 3 to invest in this expansion pack.
 Great Overall, but maybe not for everyone June 14, 2010

I bought this game a while ago, and really love it. However, if you are into instant gratification or are not very patient, you will not like a lot of the adventure game play. The most fun parts of the game are the adventures, in my opinion. They're like fun, intricate puzzles. If you don't like that sort of thing, there are a other things the EP offers that are pretty cool too. There are a few new skills, like martial arts, photography, and wine (or nectar) making, along with others. There are plenty of cool people in any of the three new locations. There are new plants to grow and new recipes to learn.
Overall, this game is great. There are a few glitches and bugs, but none of these have caused any real problems. In a sarcophagus I assembled in my home, I summoned a mummy, not knowing it would become part of my family. I deleted it using the "moveobjects" cheat, and now it appears that it is still part of my family. Not devastating, but annoying. I really love the adventures. Although this was pretty expensive, it was totally worth it for me, and I would recommend it.
Great Expansion Pack. No Problems June 11, 2010
Kevman (White Plains, NY USA)
Just what I think of when when I think of a good expansion pack. A great expansion pack where you can send your sims on the quest for adventure! There are no "bugs" or gliches as mentioned in some reviews (not on my computer anyways). Lots of stuff for your sims houses and yards, new traits, lifetime wishs and lifetime rewards, new skills, create-a-sim stuff and of course the best part, adventure. You can go to China, Egypt and France, which are all equally fun but diverse.
Happy simming all!
