Hello- I recently re-bought my Sims 3 game since my original one (plus World Adventures) were lost in a house fire. Now I'm debating whether or not I should get Ambitions or Late Night because I really need an expansion of some sort. I know these posts are tedious and annoying but I seriously have no idea which one I should get so let me know your opinion!
Thankyaa 8)

First off, I'm sorry to hear about your house fire.
Ambitions or Late Night? Hmmmm . . .
If you like to play your Sims as singles, and not start large families that take a lot of free time, then I'd say Late Night. Ambitions is great, but the new Professions require a lot of one-on-one direct interaction with your Sim when he/she is 'on the job' which takes away from a lot of time that the Sim could be spending on raising a family.
Of course, you can raise a family in Ambitions, but it's a good idea to have one Sim at home or in a 'regular/ rabbit hole' job, and another in one of the Ambition professions. I don't see how both Sims in a relationship could have one of the new Ambitions professions and still be successful at raising a family.
With Late Night and in Bridgeport, if you want your Sims to live in a high-rise, make sure that they keep their families on the 'small' side, since most of the living quarters in high-rises are rather small; unless your Sim(s) are wealthy, then they can afford a larger high-rise/ penthouse with 3/4 bedrooms . . . there is even an apartment with 6 bedrooms if I'm not mistaken.
In the end, I suppose it all boils down to 'how' you want to play your game.
If, on the other hand, you like developing multi-generational sim families and developing families in a more sub-urban or rural neighborhood then get Ambitions.
I ended up buying late night first and loving it, couldn't help myself and bought ambitions as well.
For sure like late night better. Ambitions adds a lot of great aspects but I never get tired of making my Sim a celeb.
Thanks for all the input guys!
