Opportunity

Not to be confused with Chance cards.

An opportunity is a side quest with a set of goals a Sim can complete for a reward. Opportunity is a feature in The Sims 3. There are nine types of opportunities: three from the base game (career, skill, and special), three from The Sims 3: World Adventures (China, Egypt, and France), and three from The Sims 3: University Life (social group, day job, and dare). A Sim can have multiple opportunities at once, but only one type per opportunity. Sims may receive an opportunity from various ways, such as receiving a phone call, reading a job board, getting one from work, and so on.

Opportunities are optional; the players can cancel an opportunity whenever they wish. Completing an opportunity generally reward Sims with money, career performance, moodlet, or special objects. Some opportunities have a time limit, and Sims may fail if the time limit has exceeded. Any children and older as well as plumbots with Sentience trait chip can receive an opportunity. Opportunities have three types of repeatability: repeatable, once per Sim, and once per household. Common opportunities are generally repeatable, special opportunities like Oh My Ghost! opportunity are only available once per Sim, while most adventure opportunities are only available once per household.

The players can suppress opportunity in the game option whenever they don't feel like receiving opportunities in the game. Due to a bug^[1]^[2] with The Sims 3: Into the Future, it's impossible to receive opportunities from a phone call as the dialog never appears. This also means special opportunities such as building a SimBot are unobtainable. A video showing this is seen here.

+An '''opportunity''' is a side quest with a set of goals a Sim can complete for a reward. Opportunity is a feature in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. There are nine types of opportunities: three from the base game (career, skill, and special), three from ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' (China, Egypt, and France), and three from ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' (social group, day job, and dare).

-In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', '''opportunities''' are tasks a Sim can complete for a reward. Opportunities usually focus around a career or skill. Sims with a [[part-time job]] cannot get career opportunities.
+Opportunities are optional; the players can cancel an opportunity whenever they wish. Completing an opportunity generally reward Sims with money, career performance, moodlet, or special objects. Some opportunities have a time limit, and Sims may fail if the time limit has exceeded. Any children and older as well as [[plumbot]]s with Sentience [[trait chip]] can receive an opportunity. Opportunities have three types of repeatability: repeatable, once per Sim, and once per household. Common opportunities are generally repeatable, special opportunities like ''Oh My Ghost!'' opportunity are only available once per Sim, while most adventure opportunities are only available once per household.
-Actions outside of work, such as schmoozing the boss or reading medical journals, can have an impact on a Sim's job performance. Opportunities can still cause a Sim to lose their job, but may actually help them get a better job in another [[career track]].
