The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide Walkthrough Tour of Twinbrook

Places of Employment

Many of the places you visit to land a career (both the new professions and the traditional careers) also offer special events or classes.

The areas around these facilities are interesting to explore, too, because you can meet new Sims and collect cool objects such as seeds and butterflies.

When opportunities arise, many of these locations will get new interactions specific to the corresponding opportunity, such as attending an athletic event or donating something to science.

Bachelor Stadium

Join Professional Sports Career

Attend Athletic Class

Attend Game

Attend Concert

Bachelor Stadium is the go-to place in Twinbrook for Sims pursuing the Professional Sports career. As Sims work their way up from a towel holder to a superstar, they report to this waterfront stadium on a near-daily basis.

However, the stadium hosts more than the Professional Sports career. Sims who want to pursue the Athletic skill can get off to rocking start by taking the Athletic class here.

Professional sporting events also unfold at the stadium, which result in big mood boosts for Sims. Concerts at the stadium also boost mood, especially if the attending Sims like music.

Burton's Boxcar Diner

Interactions

Join Culinary Career

Attend Cooking Class

Eat Here (prices vary)

Get Drinks (prices vary)

Not every dining experience has to be formal. Sometimes, Sims just want to elbow up to the counter and dig into some good ol' diner grub. Burton's Boxcar Diner is just the spot for cheaper eats than those found at the Little Corsican Bistro.

And eating at Burton's still gives your Sims a nice mood boost. Burton's is also where food-minded Sims can take a Cooking class or dive into the Culinary career. There is no difference between Burton's and the Little Corsican Bistro for the class or career structure.

City Hall

Interactions

Join Political Career

Attend Charisma Class

Tour City Hall

City Hall is a huge feature in Twinbrook. Here, Sims can begin career in politics and also seek out the Charisma class, which will make them more effective at socialization.

City Hall tours are a source of fun for Sims, too, and help satisfy the Social need. Sims earning medals for career achievements (more on this in the Careers chapter) go to City Hall for their accolades.

Drea's Salon and Tattoo

Join Stylist Career

Get Makeover

Makeover Self

Get Tattoo

Twinbrook's local salon is Drea's. Here, Sims interested in cosmetics and fashion come to try the new Stylist career.

The salon is equipped with styling stations and tattoo chairs so any Sim can dive into Create a Sim again to adjust physical appearances.

For more on this location, check out the New Venues and Real Estate chapter and the Careers chapter.

Fire Department

Interactions

Join Firefighter Career

Maintain Equipment

The Fire Department is where Sims go to apply for the all-new Firefighter career. The local fire house is a busy site, as many Sims are employed by the Fire Department to address the growing concern of fire outbreaks in Twinbrook.

Though the Firefighter career takes Sims away from the actual Fire Department when attending to an emergency, Firefighters still spend a decent amount of time here.

Maintaining equipment like alarms and the fire engine are big parts of the job. But there is much more on-site, too, such as Sims to socialize with, exercise equipment for getting buff, a kitchen for easy-access eats, and even a workstation for practicing the Inventing skill.

High Products Business Building

Interactions

Join Business Career

Join Journalism Career

Attend Writing Class

The High Products Business building is the first stop for Sims interested in either the Business or Journalism career. Titans of industry and star news anchors rub elbows here, making it a fun melting pot of talent.

Many opportunities bring Sims to this business park, which also hosts classes in the Writing skill. To speedily develop the trait, come here and enroll.

Llama Corp. Shipping Company

Interactions

Join Criminal Career

Raid Warehouse (Special Agents only)

The Llama Corp. Shipping Company looks like an unassuming warehouse. Nothing sinister going on here, right? False. This is where Sims interested in a life of crime report, ready to take their marching orders from the big boss of the Twinbrook crime family.

The warehouse is not only the career stop for criminals. Sims in the Law Enforcement and Investigator careers also visit the warehouse, hoping to shine a light on Twinbrook's seedy underbelly.

Little Corsican Bistro

Interactions

Join Culinary Career

Attend Cooking Class Eat Here (prices vary) Get Drinks (prices vary) Eat Outside (prices vary)

The Little Corsican Bistro is one of two eateries in Twinbrook where Culinary careers can be launched. If your Sim has the gift of cooking, then this is a great place to make a living.

But even if you don't saunter through the front doors with a Natural Cook trait on your resume, the Cooking classes here are sure to help develop this skill.

Cooking at home may not give you the mood boost of dining out, but it will sure save Simoleons.

Police Department

Interactions

Join Law Enforcement Career

Join Investigator Career

The Police Department isn't much of a tourist-friendly place. In fact, the only things to do at this location are join the Law Enforcement career track (and then report back if you indeed accept the badge) or accept the new Investigator gig.

For more on each of these careers, please see the Careers chapter.

Science Facility

Interactions

Join Science Career

Join Ghost Hunter Career

Attend Gardening Class

Attend Logic Class

Attend Inventing Class

Tour Science Lab

Donate Insects to Science

Donate Ghosts to Science

The science facility is the jumping off point for two careers: Science and Ghost Hunter. Ghost Hunters do not report here regularly like Sims in the traditional Science career—they are too busy helping residents rid their homes of pesky spirits.

However, Ghost Hunters can return to the facility to sell ghosts caught while on the job. This is a great way to pocket some extra Simoleons. And while you're here, sell some of the insects you've caught while exploring Twinbrook.

The science facility also offers several skill classes: Gardening, Logic, and the new Inventing. Use these classes to start skills or advance them.

Sims in Arms Military Base

Interactions

Join Military Career

Attend Handiness Class

Tour Base

Report for duty at the Sims in Arms Military Base. The main reason for visiting the base is to join the ranks of Twinbrook's bravest, but any Sim tired of paying for repairs can come here and enroll in the Handiness class.

Your Sims will get started in the art of tinkering, which can be a real money-saver once the skill has been developed. The military base accepts visitors, too. Just sign up for a tour to see Sims in Arms up close. Well, not too close.

Stary Community School

Interactions

Join Educator Career

Attend Painting Class

Attend Sculpting Class

Go to School (for teens and children)

The Stary Community School offers two classes for creative Sims: Painting and Sculpting. Both of these skills can be learned by doing, though, so it may behoove you to wait until you are at level 2 or 3 and then come back to the school for an effortless level bump.

The school is also home to the new Educator career, which is not an profession like Ghost Hunter or Investigator, but still new to Ambitions. The Educator career is mapped out in the Careers chapter.

Younger Sims also report to the Stary Community School for their personal education, which is important to becoming a smart, well-rounded Sim.

Twinbrook Foundation Hospital

Interactions

Join Medical Career

The Twinbrook Foundation Hospital is where Sims who desire Medical careers go to ply their trade. This is not a place to tour and play, as there are no other options for citizen Sims at the hospital.

However, doctors will spend a lot of time at this venue working with patients, issuing vaccinations, and helping out at free health clinics.

However, when out and about, there is a good chance a Medical Sim will encounter random emergencies where their lifesaving skills are put to the test.

Wilsonoff Community Theatre

Interactions

Join Music Career

Attend Guitar Class

Tour Theatre

See Movie

The Wilsonoff Community Theatre is the destination for Sims with a penchant for music.

Whether it is to launch a Music career that will eventually take you to super-stardom (maybe you can throw a concert at that stadium?) or just start noodling around on the five-string, this is one of the first places musicians should visit.

The theater also doubles as a movie house. Here, you can take in a film and enjoy a great entertainment boost that lasts for hours.

This is a relatively inexpensive way to get a mood boost, which can prove beneficial for performance at work the following day. You can also tour the theater to blow off a little steam.

However, if your Sims have no artsy genes, the tour will only leave them bored.
