Welcome to my News Email, bringing you all the latest news,
website updates and poll results from Danny's The Sims Website
Lots of Grant Rodiek discussing Ambitions this issue with both a Q&A
with him and an article written by him. Away from Grant, there's
also new screenshots of Ambitions, news of a new car download for
TS3, and, or course, an extension to the current poll
GameSpot Questions Grant Rodiek On The
“Heroic” Careers In Ambitions
GameSpot has posted a new Q&A about the “heroic” careers in The
Sims 3 Ambitions with associate producer Grant Rodiek:
GS: How does the medical career go beyond
the options in the original game?
GR: Doctors in Ambitions can exit the
hospital to save lives during emergencies (such as a woman
choking at the bistro), provide free health clinics and
inoculations in the community, or provide experimental medicines
to the community. Not everything is entirely ethical, but who
are we to tell players that?

Grant Rodiek Discusses The Heroic
Careers In Ambitions, With Three New Screenshots
A
new article written by Grant Rodiek has been posted on TheSims3.com,
discussing the more heroic careers in The Sims 3 Ambitions:
fire-fighter, private investigator and doctor:
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!

Renault Car Coming To The Sims 3
The
electric Renault Twizy ZE car, as well as some "sustainable environmental items" will soon be
available to download for The Sims 3, for free, according to CVG:
The Renault’s Twizy Z.E Concept car will be available this
Spring in an ‘Electric Vehicle Pack’ (EVP) with a number of
sustainable environmental items including solar panels and a
windmill.
Not only will the EVP ease your Sim’s conscience but also
their financial burden by reducing their weekly virtual
household bills.
Here’s a couple of short videos that accompanied the
announcement:
