So let me start with a real life example. I live up a one-lane gravel dead-end road in rural America. Yesterday, I was on my way home from a doctor's appointment when I got to a sharp turn just bef...

I feel like the closest two things to random events in my personal game was when my 7D Legacy founder got struck by lightning on day 1. Also, on day 3 or 4, she was abducted by aliens. I honestly didn't see those coming. I mean, I sort of did because I kept yelling at her to go back inside before she got struck by the lightning but I didn't see it coming in that precise moment.
But I agree, we need more randomness. My gameplay thrives on the unexpected. I'm one of those simmers who doesn't restart when something happens, I roll with it. With the exception of my sim dying fresh out of CAS, which is also highly unlikely.
There doesn't seem to ever be a happy medium. It's all or nothing. Years ago, I had a sim that was abducted 6 times in his lifetime (YA to A because I abandoned that save before he became an elder). Apart from the sim I mentioned above, only one other save has seen any abductions. That was my alien legacy so it sort of made sense though. Ironically, my founder, who is an alien, was abducted.

It's definitely not random. And when they do try to do random, it's turned up to 11! It's either full-blow and annoying or it gets nerfed and never happens again.
