There are some flaws in the implementation that should have been ironed out prior to release. It's in the little details where this expansion fails.

The cheesy humour that has always been part of The Sims is evident in careers like Ghost Hunter and Private Investigator, where the mood music, special effects and in-jokes are terrible, obvious, and, because of this, amusing. In the careers themselves EA have been clever in capitalising on two of the main fan passions - sim creation and house design - with careers like Stylist, Tattoo Artist and Architect. Frankly, considering what we endured reviewing this game we wouldn't mind creating one of these ourselves. They can also become a mad inventor by learning the Handiness skill and inventing an evil Simbot that can destroy the entire town. You can now work from home and skill your sim up in a rather impressive variety of areas, including Tattooing and Inventing. Some of the new activities and skills bring this expansion to life. Wishes, lifetime rewards and skills and activities. Communicating a desire to play chess with an attractive sim no longer requires you to stomp over to the chess board, sit down and the attempt to invite the other sim. Alternatively they can become self-employed by registering at the City Hall and selling their crap to naive Sims.Īs with every expansion, some of the basic interactions within the game have undergone a measure of surgery. The premise is simple: you control your sim during work hours as long as you choose one of the new Professions -Firefighter, Ghost Hunter, Stylist, Private Investigator, and Architectural Designer.

Welcome to the second of soon-to-be many Sims 3 expansion packs, and one that doesn't do much for EA's reputation for churning out these very packs in order to sgueeze their fans out of every last drop of their money. Yes, we already have another expansion pack from the desperately busy gnomes at The Sim Studio but this time you can do your laundry and try out whole new careers that stop you from fainting with boredom while your sims are at work. Hello, my name is Sim 1138 and it's been six months since my last expansion.
