Chance card

Any time a Sim is at work, a Sim can encounter a chance card. The game presents to the player a scenario in the form of a text box describing a predicament or a decision a Sim must make. The player can choose one of two options (or press ignore) to complete the scenario. Ignoring a chance card has no good or bad effects.

The "good outcome" answer is randomly chosen after the choice is made, weighted towards the moral choice. The exception is with FreeTime, in which the aspiration benefit Business Instinct can be chosen, which causes an 80% chance of success. Sometimes even there is a chance of the rare double promotion seen with Executive to Vice President which means skipping the job level of Senior Manager. Also, in the Bon Voyage EP, if you take a tour, you may encounter a chance card relating to your tour.

A map of how a result is determined is as follows:

Given choices A and B:
 * User chooses A
 * Computer generates good value
 * Good Result A
 * Computer generates bad value
 * Bad Result A
 * User chooses B
 * Computer generates good value
 * Good Result B
 * Computer generates bad value
 * Bad Result B
