Anybody Can Be a Hero ... or Something Along Those Lines
Perhaps I'm speaking for myself only, but I cannot imagine a child who doesn't want to be a hero when they grow up. We often start at the comic level of capes and super powers, but it isn't long before we see the common everyday heroes around us - firefighters, emergency doctors, or detectives.
When brainstorming for The Sims 3 Ambitions we had plenty of ideas, but our hearts and minds kept coming back to that fantasy of heroism. | No Blaze Too Big
Firefighting was the first career we settled on for The Sims 3 Ambitions. It was such a huge challenge and natural fit for our neighborhoods that there was little discussion on the "why," though this didn't solve the issues of the "how." Fires have always been more of a nuisance in our games, so it was clear from the start that we wanted them to be big, dangerous, frantic - and fun!
Firefighting is a profession of careful preparation, leading to smart, tactical snap decisions at the scene of the emergency. Firefighters can prepare at the fire station by maintaining their equipment, like the new fire engine vehicle. Athleticism will also greatly aid your firefightersa fit firefighter can do some damage when fighting a blaze! Finally, handiness goes a long way towards gaining the upper hand in a fire. Handy Sims can upgrade the fire engine, fire alarms at the station, and even their personal fire extinguisher.
However, the time for patience and tinkering is gone the second the alarm rings. Conversations end, forks are put down, and it's on! As your Sim races to the scene of the emergency, it's important to think about the type of emergency - it can be a small fire, gnome invasion, massive inferno, earthquake, or an experiment gone catastrophically wrong at the science lab. To leave a few surprises, but explain the first step, we'll start with a small fire.
Small fires are often anything but. In fact, the name small is really only useful when used in relation to the huge fires your Sim will encounter later. When my Sim arrives at the scene I like to pause and take in the surroundings. Where are the fires in the victim's home and where are the most home furnishings in danger? I like to play as a noble, heroic firefighter so I always try to preserve as many personal belongings as possible. If need be I can smash and destroy my way to cut off a fire's fuel, but I prefer to think of how the victims will feel the morning after.
Once I have an idea of the situation, I queue up the fires in the order I want them extinguished. While the victims are screaming and panicking outside, my firefighting professional goes from flame to flame to alleviate the situation. Phew, that was easy!
A massive inferno may require my Sim to save trapped Sims, break down doors, put out fires from the outside before I can continue, and continue to fight fires once I DO get inside. It can get a little hairy, but honestly, that's just a part of my firefighter's job.
The Sketchy Investigator
Grant McSolver is a private investigator that has been hired by countless Sims around town. He knows his way around a case and knows how to get the answers he needs. Unfortunately for the town, there are few things beneath McSolver.
There was the time McSolver was hired to dig up some information so the client could blackmail a rival. While doing the digging (literally, in a trash can), McSolver decided to collect early and do a little blackmail of his own.
On another case, McSolver needed to gain permission from a suspect to dust around the house and snoop for clues. This could have been handled in a civil manner, but McSolver isn't patient or civil. Instead, he busted out his trusty lock pick kit, broke into the home, obtained the prints, and "borrowed" a television. For evidence, of course.
Stolen cars, missing art, heists conducted by mad scientists, endless stakeouts - all in a day's work for a private investigator. With a rumpled trench coat and slick hat, your Sims can look the part and be as skeevy, or noble, as you see fit. Few careers have as much unexpected moments or open-ended gameplay as the investigator.
Grant McSolver may be a no-good scumbag who tends to be on the side of the law, but that doesn't mean that needs to be true for your investigator.
The Doctor ... is out?
As with every profession in The Sims 3 Ambitions, we wanted the jobs, experiences, and gameplay moments to be in the neighborhood and outside of the buildings. We really liked the medical career from The Sims 3 but wanted to enhance what was already a solid foundation.
Doctors may now encounter medical emergencies, both common and otherwise, while out and about. Finally, the story that begins with "is there a doctor in the house?" can be told. For example, you might be at the bistro having a romantic meal with a love interest. Suddenly, there's a commotion and panic - another patron is choking! Your Sim rushes over, runs the diagnosis, and hopefully makes the right call. Not bad for a first date!
Doctors aren't just about emergencies. Preventative medicine is just as important, which means free health clinics must be set up and inoculations provided. The community's well-being may very well hinge on your Sim's performance as a top tier medical professional.
As with the other careers, doctors don't always need to adhere so strictly to the "right" way of doing things. Companies may provide your Sim with experimental medicines, which can then be sampled by patients. Nothing too bad should happen, plus your Sim will receive a small kick back from the company. Everybody wins, right?
Whether you decide to tell the story of a local hero or manipulative quack is entirely in your hands. The game itself provides some deep, emergent experiences that require you to think quickly and give your Sims the right direction before the worst occurs. Do you think you're up to the task? More importantly, are your Sims?
Happy Simming!

没有火灾是无法战胜的
消防员是我们为《模拟人生3 梦想起飞》设定的第一个职业。它是一个巨大的挑战，我们讨论着“为什么”它会自然而然的适合我们的社区，而没有讨论“如何”让它在社区中进行。火灾对我们的游戏来说一直是一种困扰，因此从一开始我们就希望它是大的，危险的，疯狂和充满乐趣的。
消防员是一个需要细心准备的职业，需要在紧急火灾现场中快速的下达决策。消防人员可以在消防局中通过维护他们的设备，如新的消防车；来做好准备。运动练习将能帮助你的消防员在火灾现场很好的破除障碍。最后，具有灵巧特征的市民会有绝对的优势。他们可以升级消防中心的消防车、火灾报警器以及他们个人的灭火器。
但到了行动时，警报声！会话被中断，这些工具安装，并且去！当你的市民赶到现场，重要的是要考虑紧急类型，它可能是一个小火，入侵侏儒，一个巨大的火灾，地震土地甚至是危险的实验，在科学实验室去错了。为了保持一点神秘，而解释的第一步，我们将开始与小火。
小火往往是远离它。事实上，所谓“小”是只比较大火有关你的模拟市民将面临更高版本。当我的星际现场的时候，我想停下来观察他的环境。凡在受害人家的灯光和那里的家具最危险？我想打一个勇敢和英勇的消防队员，总是试图挽救尽可能多的货物。我可以摧毁一切，我的方式通过，并争取把火势，但我宁愿认为，受害者会觉得第二天。
有一次，我分析了情况，我选择在该命令的灯光我想出来。虽然受害者尖叫和恐慌外，我的消防队员将火焰燃烧的灭火和救援情况。 Pfiou很容易，终于来了！
当一个巨大的火，可能的原因是模拟人生被卡住！为了拯救他们，我的星际消防队员可以推门进入，把之前对在火灾灯关闭。这似乎害怕和紧张...但是这对我的工作的一部分星际消防队员！
侦探的调查
格兰特McSolver是一个辉煌的私人侦探的声誉正处于模拟人生城市无法比拟的。它解决了调查，发现他们的答案与效率的需求巨大。但不幸的城市，几乎没有顾忌McSolver ...
还有的是，当McSolver被聘为找到损坏的资料，让他唱他的竞争对手客户的时间。在挖掘可以通过一个垃圾桶...嗯...做研究，McSolver找到所需信息的要求，但他决定让自己敲诈竞争对手的客户节省更多的钱...
在另一起案件中，McSolver需要允许在他家搜查嫌疑人的指纹和线索。他可以做到这一点在平静和礼貌，但McSolver任何一个病人也没有礼貌！相反，他用自己的可信任的撬锁工具包，以打入房子。他发现的足迹，并借此机会，以“借用”电视在这项调查的目的，当然，...！
汽车被盗，丢失艺术品，爆窃案进行疯狂的科学家和残忍的藏身之无穷：它是所有私人侦探日常生活的一部分。随着一个受伤的雨衣和帽子，你的市民，他们体现了研究者希望加入或使用justuce的统治有可疑的方法...这是谁决定你按照你的愿望的时刻。 ！几个事业提供尽可能多的意想不到的时刻和调查员的职业生涯一样丰富的游戏。
格兰特McSolver可能有不法一个不幸的趋势，以规避法律的垃圾，但你的面试官，并不一定遵循同样的道路...
医生...在吗？？？
如同《模拟人生3 梦想起飞》的每一个职业，我们希望的任务，经验和上场时间均在地区和建筑物的外面。医疗事业是我们的最爱之一。因此，我们要进一步发展这个行业的基础。
医生现在他们能够进行医疗紧急情况。故事开始以“是否有一个在房子里的医生？ “终于可以活着的，例如游戏，想象在享受与您的梦想星际...，一个餐厅的恐慌，波突然：客户酒吧被窒息的浪漫晚餐！你的市民赶，使诊断，并希望采取正确的决定！不坏的第一次约会时留下深刻印象！
医生是在紧急情况下不存在。预防是同样重要的！你将有机会免费开放卫生诊所接种疫苗的人口。市民的健康很可能取决于你的市民的表现！
至于其他的职业，医生是没有义务的行为符合道德和诚实对于一个小的奖励...，公司可以给你的市民，以测试他们的实验性药物的患者。没有什么太糟糕了应该发生，毕竟...每个人都赢了，对不对？
你选择你的模拟市民是否会被看作是真正的英雄，他的城市或认可的操纵性和不择手段的庸医！游戏可以让你体验意想不到的复杂，这将迫使你要迅速地想和引导你的模拟人生的正确方向，以避免最坏的打算。你觉得这一挑战？最重要的是，做你的模拟市民的意愿吗？
