TS4 Chance Cards: How do YOU answer them?

I'm really loving the revamped chance cards in TS4. They're not 90% life-and-death, promotion-or-demotion sorts of things like TS2, and the writing is witty and clever (at least in my opinion). Whenever one pops up for me, I always answer them in-character. I just think, "What would (insert sim's name here) do?" and answer accordingly.

A really funny instance of this was when my secret agent sim got the chance card about budget cuts to his department. The choices were a) slack off like everyone else or b) go after the bad guy anyway. Since he's hot-headed and ambitious, I had him continue on with his case. The result? He caught the guy, but there was no one to process him! LOL! He got a small performance boost, but was also embarrassed for much of the rest of the day. XD

So, how do you like answering chance cards? Are you enjoying them? And do you have a favorite chance card story?

  • I hate it, I don't understand how it's working for everyone but me. I have yet to get any right, and I've done some of the same questions multiple times and each time just seems like a new way to lose performance points!!! UGH

    Maybe because this thread is from last September :D lol. I hate them too though, I pretty much memorized the answer to every one so its just kind of annoying now.
  • I like them! I actually liked the ones from TS2 better though, I liked that sense of danger. I usually go about picking the cards by enni minny miney moe. Good system :).

    Lol. I tend to answer the chance cards from my POV, but I do enjoy them most of the time. It gets dicey when I get a chance card on the day my sim is for sure going to get a promotion & the next day is his or her off day :/ I think the most memorable chance card story is from the Tech Guru career and a smelly sim comes in to work, so you're faced with the dilemma of spraying your work area or causing a scene so the sim can take care of himself lol.


    Was just looking at these threads because I just got this one! I chose to spray the air with body spray.

    @TuttyGamer8 Your reviving a dead thread made me think they added new chance cards. It's actually against the rules to pull up threads that old.
  • I tend to roleplay my Sims.
    Which also means that some of the "dumber" answers never gets used.

    Also, I never got the connections with the parenting cards, or maybe the developers mean something different with "Empathy" and "Emotional Control" than I do? Because basically every time I pick the only logical option the kids suffer a penalty for either of those for no reason.
    "Look harder for your lost toy!"
    "Loses Empathy"

    ...WHAT???
