How "Lucky" is a lucky sim, really?

@CravenLestat - The thing is, the unlucky Sim doesn't escape death, they actually die and get sent back! They aren't having near-death experiences. Where's the peace of mind in that? In everything these Sims do the threat of death, failure or both looms above them. If there is any pain associated with that death, they get the luxury of remembering it when they are resurrected. So, for them, it's literally 'Live to Die' another day over-and-over again.

And what happens when their loved ones pass on? They get to 'live' with the memory of all they have lost (for a while at least). The curse of long life or immortality is just that...a curse. I guess eventually old Grimmy will take them but look at all they would've had to live/die through before that happens.

We are deep @mw1525 :p You know why


Cause we love sims 3 :love: we invest thought into our little fake people and they almost become real.


But that does not mean you can be mayor of SV :rage: it is mine,pick another town

@CravenLestat - I will gladly relinquish my SV to your control 'cause as of right this moment, it is in crisis with an overpopulation of Vampires and I'm all out of aspirin! :p >:)

Vampires don't like aspirin? Or is that for the player? ;)

@igazor - Don't know if they like aspirin, since I've chewed them all up Max Payne style (shakes bottle, who needs water). I've got my chemists (alchemists) working hard injecting potent sleeping elixir into plasma fruits (extra strong variety), which I'm going to leave in little pretty gift baskets on those Vamp's front porches. That should buy me enough time to get out of town while @CravenLestat takes over! ;) :D

Oops, wrong thread. Apologies.

They are supposed to be less likely to burn food and break items. Also, they're less likely to get robbed, more likely to get raises, and a few other things.

I have a few lucky sims that I play and bad things do still happen to them. But it seems to be less frequent. It's hard to tell, though.

@yoshi_dragur2012 - Yeah, using the stove without any cooking skill does carry a higher chance of burning food or catching the house on fire, especially if it's on one of those cheap stoves. Solution: read up to chapter 1 of the cooking skill book or Autumn Salad & Micro Mac and Cheese your way there :)!

On 'Feeling Lucky' days my Sim seems to find more valuable metals and space rocks but for some reason the really super high value ones still elude me.

@MKSizzle - The cooking thing is not absolute, it's a random event which is chanced higher on the cheaper stove. I have had Sims torch not just their food but themselves on the cheapest six-eyed stove in the game, lesser on the cow poke stove or above. The only Sims who are immune to this is one with the 'Natural Cook' trait. For every other unskilled or low skilled Sim there is a chance it could happen; lucky changes those odds a bit higher in favor that it won't happen to your Sim; it still could.

Okay, I'm missing the 'irony' part (just me), because the trait is basically a 'chance' trait with the chances for good things to happen being slightly higher for the Sim with this trait in comparison to a non-lucky Sim. Unless you meant irony of your Sim's life and not the trait itself, in which case I'd have to agree. :)
