Yesss, I fully agree! 
I have a post w my suggestion for skill-based ambitions and desired life choices. I think it could use a complete overhaul as most of the ambitions don’t align well with the suggested desired life and it’s hard to find ambitions that really fit my zois. A good portion of them have you reading the same book over and over, buying the same type of stuff, etc. I love doing career + skill type goals in life sims and unfortunately, I don’t get that same motivation to complete them here but I’d love to see them re-worked or given additional options under existing categories.
