RE: Friendly Hello!
Hi! I'm glad you find it interesting. :) I couldn't get to finish it due to the large amount of opportunities in World Adventures and Ambitions, and I've been quite busy irl too. The repetitive opportunity patterns in World Adventures exhausted me very much, but I hoped that after these 2 EPs are done, I could finish the rest opportunities with a better pace.

As for your questions:
 * 1) I read the game data that contains all the details of every opportunity. That way I could get all the requirements and everything that are otherwise unable to be revealed in-game. If you know how to mod, I could explain it to you if you want.
 * 2) I honestly didn't experience every single opportunity I listed there. I could use MasterController to trigger most opportunities, but I didn't do trial-and-error work here. I could recall I experienced some of these opportunities, but for some others, I just believe they exist based on the game strings and opportunity details.

 * Cool! So you need S3PE to open the game files. For opportunities to be exact, go to  \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Gameplay, and open GameplayData.package. There, find the XML files named "Opportunities_BaseGame" through "Opportunities_EP11". Each of these holds the opportunity details. Right click the XML, and choose Text Editor / Notepad.


 * The details are written in XML, and the information you get there might not be obvious, so you'll need to get acquainted with it. Let me know if my explanation is unclear.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:56, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
