The "good outcome" answer is randomly chosen after the choice is made, weighted towards the moral choice.<ref>[http://compsimgames.about.com/od/thesims2strategyhelp/qt/chance_cards.htm About.com "The Sims 2" : Job Chance Cards]</ref> The amount of weighting that's applied varies from job to job.

With this benefit, all choices for career chance cards have an 80% chance of success, even those that would otherwise have a greater chance of success. By choosing this benefit for a Sim, the player trades a reduced chance of success for many choices for the certainty that any choice will have a high chance of success. |

Sometimes, there is a chance of the rare double promotion, as is seen when an Executive in the [[Business]] career is promoted to Vice President, skipping the job level of Senior Manager. There are even a few extremely rare chance cards that can bring a Sim from the middle of a career track to the top. For example, one possible outcome of the chance card for the Rogue Botanist (level 6) job in the [[Natural Scientist]] track is promotion to Ecological Guru, the top job in that track. |
