Can we just talk about Chance Cards?

If you guys don't know what Chance Cards are and I'm not surprised if you don't, is a random event that happens when you're Sim is working or went to space. You have two choices, the good one and the bad one.
The problem with Chance Cards is that... they rarely appear.
I recently completed the whole business career with my new Sim and guess how many of these pop-ups did I get? Two, just two.
It's completely ridiculous, in my opinion, they should appear more often, atleast two or three times a week.
Maybe it's the RNG, maybe the devs can't think of new ones, but please, just add more of them, and make them appear more often, because they can really help you out or be a nuissance, which is preety cool, and it makes Jobs much more interesting, and as we know, jobs are generally not very interesting, I mean, it's the Sims, Jobs should be fun and not be like real life.


So tl;dr Chance Cards are good for the game and they should appear more often

    I miss the days of when Chance cards had actual risks and rewards. Used to be if you picked the wrong answer you could get demoted or fired. Now the worst you get is a slight (and boy do I mean slight) job performance decrease. I miss the difficulty!
  • I find them kind of annoying and they don't really seem to have much impact on our sims lives anyway.
  • I rarely see chance cards since I added new EP/GP/SP into my game.

    I love my Sims to go into the Mixology career to get the Snaggle Fluster drink, especially when first starting out with a new Sim. The Sim in my household had this "chance card" come up so many times, it was frustrating that it was rejected as a "dud" every time! Eventually I had the Sim leave the Mixology career and tried with another Sim, but no Snaggle Fluster opportunity has come up so far.

    Personally I don't know why the Snaggle Fluster was not something that once learned by a Sim could be passed on to family members.

    I may start a new vanilla game just to see if the Snaggle Fluster opportunity arises.

    I sometimes think that there is so much in the game that older stuff often gets overlooked when playing and the latest install often takes precedence over older things

    Does it have something to do with work style? I've noticed more chance cards if my sim "works hard" versus any other option.

    Yeah it's pure luck. Sometimes my kids have a pop-up every day at school, but there are also times where they don't show up for a whole week.
  • I find them annoying. There are too many with Parenthood, plus they’re not smart enough to call the parent of the child, I’ve had grandparents and siblings who live in the same house get those calls.

    When I am in the middle of socializing and I am several layers into the social wheel just about to click “get to know” or whatever, THAT’S when the game loves to give me pop-ups like this. And it makes me so aggravated.

    Put them in a notification, please!
  • I love chance cards and usually get them whenever my Sims go off to work, but I do want more, I enjoy them quite a bit to be honest lol
  • I get them on a regular basis. I usually don't mind them because they're inconsequential. In TS2 I often click ignore because the consequences are too harsh sometimes
