Chance card: Difference between revisions

Any time a Sim is at work, a Sim can encounter a chance card. The game presents the player with a scenario in the form of a text box describing a predicament or situation, and 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. InChance ''Thecards Simsmay 2'',appear chance cards appearrandomly during the Sim's workday. If a Sim is promoted, demoted, or fired due to a chance card outcome, he or she will come home immediately. If the Sim took the [[carpool]] to work, he or she will return in the carpool for his or her new job. If the Sim is promoted to a job that uses a [[Pearson 206 SimRanger|helicopter]] as the carpool, he or she may not be able to come home until all service vehicles have left.

With ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', Sims can encounter chance cards related to their [[Hobby|hobbies]] while they are at school or work. As with other chance cards, they can choose one of two options, or choose to ignore the card. While these hobby chance cards usually affect the Sim's level of [[enthusiasm]] for that hobby, some chance cards that involve at-work situations can lead to a demotion or promotion. Some may result in the Sim bringing home another Sim who also has enthusiasm in that hobby. That Sim may not be in the same career track, and, if ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed, may be a [[young adult]]. Hobby chance cards which involve at-work situations are the same for all careers, and it appears that they tend to be described as if the Sim were in an office or business context.

Chance cards do not appear much in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', as they were generally replaced by job [[opportunity|opportunities]]. There are still a few chance cards that appear, which usually occur from off-screen event or during a [[rabbit hole]] visit. Choosing an option or decision will [[notification|notify]] the outcome, and the results may reward Sims some [[moodlet]]s, money, or other outcomes such as promotion, demotion, or getting fired. They involve less detailed scenarios. Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', they involve less detailed scenarios and there is no ignore button.

Adventures, such as through a [[mausoleum]], the [[Arboretum]], a [[Miner|hole in the ground]], a [[time machine]], or a magic [[wardrobe]], involve multiple chance cards.

Adventures, such as via the [[Rocket science|rocket-ship]],  involve a series of chance cards, one following the other.{{expand}}
