How "Lucky" is a lucky sim, really?

@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.

Also sims who inherit the "Immune to Fire" hidden trait from their firefighter parents :)

Funny thing is lucky means when you die the reaper has no sympathy for you.But unlucky sims get a pass and get revived by grimmy.

So being lucky sure sounds unlucky huh?? Would rather know if I was on a plane that crashed I got to walk away from it ,wayyy better then buying a lotto ticket and getting some money.

@CravenLestat - The unlucky trait is truly unlucky. Think about it, living a life of misery from which you can't escape even through death! Sure you may survive the plane crash and live, but 'unlucky' odds almost guarantee you won't be in the same condition as before the accident; otherwise that would be lucky. ;)

@mw1525 Just say you won a bunch of money,can't spend it in the afterlife.Worldy possesions mean nothing.Just say you struggled through life and have a junky house 4 beautiful kids you love and a wife who loved you even though you are poor then an fool texting in a 70,000 car slams into your bicycle you are riding to work killing both of you.So what ,you just walk home and get to see your family again.

You actually can "Live" a better life without fear of death.You would try more things you normally were afraid of like bungee jumping,hand gliding,base jumping super high roller coasters etc.Dying of old age would not seem so bad since you fullfilled a ton of things in life that most would not attempt once.

@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
