The Sims 3 Ambitions - Italian preview with Grant Rodiek [part II - complete]
*红字部分并不是完全翻译，而是我对文章的大概说明！
The laundry system 洗衣系统
Doing the laundry is an option that many players have always wanted and now, finally, we’ll get it! Ambitions, in fact, features a laundry system which allows Sims to do the washing up, drying clothes in the sun or using the dryer.
在玩家提出的建议下《梦想起飞》中终于可以让模拟市民洗衣、在阳光下晒衣服了或使用烘干机。
This option is not mandatory: to "activate" the laundry you need to buy a washing machine. After that, Sims will randomly leave around the house (especially in the bathroom after showering) piles of dirty clothes. In the game, there are different kinds of washing machines, cheaper or more expensive, a dryer and a drying rack for the outside (where the clothes will drop from as well).
这些设置不是强制性的：“激活”洗衣功能您需要购买一台洗衣机。在此之后，市民会随机给身边，特别是在浴室中的脏衣服堆进行清洗。在游戏中，有洗衣机、烘干机和一个户外的晾衣架。
In this regard, we also found that Sims with the Eco-friendly trait will receive a positive moodlet for using the drying rack and a negative moodlet for using the dryer (it's all about electricity!).
为了更加环保，模拟市民会选用烘干机。
Also, there will be a laundry in town, so if you don’t want to buy all the objects, you can still go there to wash your cloche [nde: we have seen the laundry lot in Twinbrook, but we didn’t visit it, so we can’t tell you how this really works].
此外，在城里将有一个洗衣店。因此，如果你不想购买洗衣家电，你仍然可以去那里洗你的衣服。
Briefly: 简述：
* To activate the laundry you need to buy a washing machine. The laundry option is not mandatory;
* You can dry your clothes on the clothes line or in the dryer;
* There is also a “public” laundry;
* There are different kinds of washing machines with different power consumption;
* The use of the laundry system affects the mood of eco-friendly Sims.
*要启用洗衣功能您需要购买一台洗衣机。洗衣选项不是强制性的；
*您可以在户外晒干你的衣服或用烘干机；
*有公共洗衣房；
*不同的洗衣机功率（电力）消耗也不同；
*使用洗衣系统会影响生态和模拟市民的心情。
Sim Bot 模拟机器人
Sim Bots are the new creatures introduced by this EP. After ghosts and mummies, robots are finally back, and they vaguely remind of The Sims 2 Open for Business’ Servos. Just stylistlike them, in fact, Sim Bots can be created by inventors, but Grant told us that making them is very hard. However, to make them available for everyone, you can always purchase them. Well, it’s not a real purchase since you can get them through lifetime rewards and aren’t sold in stores! You’ll need about 40,000 points and then you can get your new best friend.
自鬼魂和木乃伊后，机器人也终于回来了。发明技能可以发明机器人。不过为了其它的人也能拥有，你可以花40,000点购买（终生幸福点数）
Sim Bots are fun and useful: they eat metal scraps, can sleep in bed (don’t need to recharge then), can woohoo but of course cannot have babies or have a shower/bath. They can also talk to microwaves and love smashing objects rotating their arms like a helicopter! However, Sim Bots are like any other Sim: they can babysit your kids, get a job, clean the house, cook your dinner and so on..
模拟机器人是有趣并是有用的：他们吃的是金属废料，可以睡在床上（不需要充电即可），可以嘿咻但当然是不可能会有婴儿的，不用洗澡。他们还有微波武器！不过，模拟机器人就像其他模拟市民一样：他们可以看管你的孩子、找一份工作、打扫房间、做饭吃饭、等你..
Please note: Sim Bots are starring in the Iron Man video. However, special effects have been used for them: in fact, Sim Bots cannot fly. As for the customizing option, we asked Grant about it, but he wasn't sure if we can change the color of the Sim Bot or not. He even tried to check it, but his Sim didn't have enough points to get one.
Briefly: 简述：
* Sim Bots can be built (at level 10 in Inventing) or bought as a lifetime reward;
* They eat metal scraps;
* They don’t need to recharge but sleep in bed and act like any other Sim;
* They can’t get showers;
* They love smashing objects and can talk to microwaves;
* They can woohoo but cannot have babies;
* They can’t fly.
*模拟机器人可以创建（10级的发明）或买了一个终身奖励；
*他们吃金属废料；
*他们不需要充电，但可以通过床像其他模拟市民那样睡觉；
*他们不能洗澡；
*他们喜爱粉碎物件和使用微波；
*他们可以嘿咻，但不会有孩子；
*他们不能飞。
Twinbrook & rabbit holes 双溪社区和兔子洞
Ambitions introduces a new neighborhood, called Twinbrook. Just like Sunset Valley or Riverview, it is fully crowded and organized. In the town you will find certain places, i.e. the junkyard, the consignment store, the laundry or the tattoo saloon. that We’re not sure if the general update will include these lots in Sunset Valley or Riverview too, but you can always place them in the Edit Town menu.
《梦想起飞》引入了一个新的社区——双溪。就像日落和河景，有所有的公共设施。在这个镇你会发现一些地方——垃圾场、邮局、洗衣房和纹身店。日落和河景没有这些，你可以通过编辑城镇复制这些地段。
This does not mean that to play with these places or with the new careers, you’ll have to move to Twinbrook. Simply, the new town comes with all the new lots, but you can place them in Sunset Valley or Riverview as you prefer.
这并不意味着过去的城镇不能玩新的职业，你必须移动到双溪。简单地说，新镇有所有的新地段，但你可以根据自己的喜好放置这些地段在日落和河景。
Grant Rodiek also explained that Twinbrook is inspired to the southern area of the United States (Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, etc.) and has a different style than Sunset Valley or Riverview. There are also new neighborhood decorations (among which a wooden rabbit) and a cute new iron bridge.
Grant Rodiek 说双溪的启发来源于美国南部（密西西比州，路易斯安那州，阿拉巴马州等），此镇是和日落或河景有着不同风格的地区。也有新的公共建筑（一个兔子洞）和一个新的铁桥。
There is also something new for the so-called rabbit holes, that is, inaccessible lots such as the school, the supermarket or the theater. With Ambitions, these have been updated and edited a bit, of course both in Twinbrook and the other towns. So:
* Ambitions introduces a new neighborhood, Twinbrook, inspired to the southern U.S.;
* The new community lots (junkyard, laundry, etc..) can be placed in any other neighborhood;
* The rabbit holes have been modified (but still remain inaccessible) and there's a new bistro.
还有一些基础版的兔子洞更新，如以前无法进入的学校、超市和剧场。本资料片中这些都可以被更新和编辑，无论是在日落或其他城镇。所以：
*《梦想起飞》引入了一个新的社区——双溪，启发来源于美国南部；
*新的社区地段（垃圾场、洗衣房等）可放置在任何城镇；
*兔子洞已被修改（但仍无法访问），并有一个新的小酒馆。
Buy and Build mode 购买和建设模式
There are tons of news in the Buy/Build modes! Let’s see..
Build mode 建设模式
Roofs: when building a house you can decide the height of each portion of the roof, as a special tool for this purpose has been introduced.
屋顶：盖房子的时候你可以决定各部分的屋顶高度。
Wallpapers: the wallpaper section has been improved and sees the introduction of a new category dedicated to sets (those groups of wall covering that have particular connotations such as decorations on the corner or drawings of various types).
墙纸：墙纸部分已经改善，有一个专门为其设置新的类别（对墙纸有介绍，应该和SIMS2那样吧）。
Columns: There is also a new option for columns: with Ambitions you can decide their height (up to 3 floors high).
柱子：这也是一个新的柱子选项：在《梦想起飞》里你可以自己决定高度（最高为3层高）。
Buy mode 购买模式
Moreover, in the Buy mode has been added a Sculptures tab in the Decoration folder, and there are tons of new objects. We have seen some very nice sofas, as well as new coffee tables, lamps and windows; we have also seen a huge fountain that Grant’s architect purchased for a customer.
此外，在购买模式中添加了一个文件夹类型的装饰雕塑标签，并且有新的物件。我们已经看到了一些非常漂亮的沙发，以及新的咖啡桌，灯具和窗户，我们也看到一个巨大的喷泉。
Many more objects, however, have been added in this expansion. Just to mention a few – we’ll surely forget some and certainly do not know them all - here is what we have seen:
还有更多的物件，只是举几个例子，这里是我们所看到的：
Gnomes: as for Travel Adventures, in Ambitions there are new naughty gnomes, which can be obtained in several ways: using the time machine to visit the past (caveman gnome), sculpting materials or using the inventor’s workbench to create one from scratch. Like the previous EP, they will make funny moves and behaviors, involving private eyes and firefighters.
地精：在本资料片中有顽皮的地精，可以通过几个途径取得：使用时间机器访问过去（穴居人），雕刻材料或用发明技能在工作台创建一个。像以前的资料片那样，他们将有新的有趣动作和行为，以及私家侦探和消防员。
The motorcycle: two-wheel enthusiasts will appreciate the introduction of a Harley-Davidson-like motorcycle! Grant confirmed us that you cannot carry a passenger, "is dangerous!". As for the helmets, they do not appear automatically, but take a look at the CAS section for more information.
摩托车：二轮爱好者将会一辆哈雷戴维森摩托车！格兰特证实我们，你不能携带乘客，“那是危险的！”。至于头盔是不会自动出现，可以通过CAS获得更多的信息。
The trampoline: a game that Sims will definitely enjoy. It can be placed in your garden. You can ask other Sims to join, but we don’t know how many can jump together. There is another game that can be used to socialize with others and is a very large wooden structure for the outside, which should be very popular in Scandinavian countries. Unfortunately, we do not know its name.
蹦蹦床：一个游乐用具，你的模拟市民一定会喜欢的。它可以放置在你的花园。你可以要求其他模拟市民加入，但我们不知道有多少人能一起使用。
Detonator: Sims will explode any objects by placing a detonator wherever they want (sometimes to spite someone!).
雷管：模拟市民可以通过放置一个爆炸雷管来爆破任何物体。
Laundry: As mentioned above, there are different models of washing machines, a dryer and a drying rack.
洗衣：如上面所说的有洗衣机、烘干机和一架不同型号的干燥机。
Digital frame: in the game you can also find a digital frame for your pictures (that change every few minutes). There are several sizes available.
数码相框：你也可以在游戏里为你的图片选择一种数码相框（每隔几分钟变换）。有几种规格。
In the buydebug mode you can also find a fog emitter, that makes the city more mysterious, especially during investigations! If we don’t go wrong, Grant told us it can be used to decorate the neighborhoods but can be placed in normal lots too, for example in the graveyard. How creepy!
在 “buydebug” 模式下，您还可以找到一个喷雾器，这可以使城市更加神秘，特别是在调查期间！如果我们没有搞错，格兰特告诉我们它可以用来装饰街道，比如可以可以在正常地段放置于墓地，可以令人毛骨悚然！
Besides these items, there are obviously those achievable through the various skills/careers.
除了这些项目外，还有可以通过的“技能/事业”实现的各种技能。
News in the CAS 新的CAS模式
Even the Create a Sim screen offers several new options. In the version we have seen, there were different types of hairstyles for men and women, including two different helmets for the motorcycle, several medium-short hair and career-themed outfits (including many garments with aprons and gloves, a dress with shoulder bag, etc.) and, of course, the section dedicated to tattoos, that we mentioned a few paragraphs ago. So, Sims don’t have to wear the helmet while on the motorcycle, but if you want them to, you can always change their look before the go out.
在创建一个模拟人界面中提供了几个新的选择。我们所看到的有：不同类型的发型（男性和女性）包括两种摩托车头盔，几种短发和以职业为主题的服装（包括围裙及手套、衣服、不同的头盔等）。当然，本节专门介绍纹身，我们在前几段已经有提及。因此，模拟市民不需要戴头盔；而在用摩托车时，如果你希望他们戴着头盔，你可以随时改变。
Also, there are some hairdos and some clothes that cannot be used in CAS because they are exclusive for stylist or obtainable only by travelling in time (such as medieval clothing or caveman outfits).
此外，还有一些发型和一些不能在CAS下得到的衣服，因为他们只有在旅行时（如中世纪的服装或穴居人的服装）。
About the hairstyles, we have a funny story to tell. Talking to Grant after the presentation, we told him that we really need curly hair for the game (which was a very disinterested question, since both Paperpin and I have curls…!) and he replied that they are hard to create but they have been introduced in this EP, so he went off to show them. Unfortunately, when he got in CAS, he realized that there are only slightly wavy hairdos! Players all over the world, we still have to wait for curls…
icon_humIt looks like that new kinds of music have been added (country and rock music) and that in the CAS you can create relationships like best friends or fiance.
关于发型，没有卷发。
Edit town 编辑城镇
A major update (independent from Ambitions) regards the neighborhood: it will be possible to change the town layout without the Create a World tool, deleting, moving and changing lots, adding or removing plants, hills, etc.. directly from the Edit Town menu. The only thing you can’t do is changing the roads (but there’s the CAW for that!). Also, you can get this even if you don’t buy the game, as a major update is going to be released!
对于周边的环境有了重大更新（独立于《梦想起飞》）：能象“创建一个世界工具”那样改变城市的布局，进行删除、移动和改变更多的，添加或删除植物、山丘等。直接从编辑城镇菜单。你唯一不能做的是改变道路（只适用于CAW）。此外你如果不买这个资料片，可以通过游戏更新获得。
Updates to the user interface 用户界面更新
The graphic interface of the game has been slightly modified to make it easier to use through a tabs division. What does it mean?
游戏的图形界面已略有修改，使其更易于使用。
First of all, the notification window that appears on the right of the screen every time a Sim earns a new skill point, gets a promotion, etc.. has been organized into tabs divided by topics, which collect all the messages you receive and you can browse them with a next/prev button. Also, you can minimize the window and reopen it whenever you want.
As for the opportunities, anytime you get one you’re also notified what you need to do in order to complete it, which things you’ll necessitate, the point you’ve reached and so on (a bit like the diary of World Adventures).
Even these updates will be available for everyone, as they will be included in the next game patch that also features tattoos and the new Edit Town options.
首先，通知窗口在屏幕上每次模拟人赚取一个新的技能点，得到了升迁等等。此外，您可以最小化窗口并重新打开它。
这些更新将用于每个人，因为他们将在未来的通过游戏补丁的方式，还有纹身和编辑城镇选项。
Conclusions 结论
Conclusions..what can I say…first off, after spending more than two days working on this article, I can’t believe we’ve made it!
Anyhow, let’s try to be serious. The Sims 3 Ambitions seems to be really exciting and should satisfy any kind of player, as it offers a lot of contents. The introduction of tattoos and laundry show that the developers’ team really cares about players’ requests, and the updates for those who won’t buy the game are really useful. We hope our article will make things clearer for those who had trouble translating articles from other languages.
We’re sorry about the careers we haven’t seen, such as the doctor which hasn’t been covered at all. Grant has made himself available to answer all of our questions, even though the time we had was short, and he also stopped to chat with us after the presentation!
We’re honored for taking part in this event, either for the information we got and for the questions we were able to ask Grant and for the great day we spent together with the other community members. We have already published the pictures of the event, but we cannot release this article without one of them…
Ps. If not even my crutch, the bad weather, the volcanic eruption and the public transportation had stopped us, we’re really ready for everything!
Further information
Other than here (we’ll try to answer as much as possible), you can comment this article on the official board.
Also, you can find further information from other site’s coverages:
ps. other links will be published if available.
