@BlueWizardRob @KodamaTreeSpirit Is right (as a ghibli fan I’m fangirling all over your name btw), one of the triggers was the better late than never one & it’s towards the end, late level like level 8 or 9 that it occasionally pops up, it’s something basic like ‘ask if they like pets’ or ‘ask what their favourite pet is’. The reason why I did that relationship so many times was because I was a total backwater moron with it, always started it on a retired sim and never quite made it to lvl10 before my retired sim automatically left for good (thus removing the chance to interact with them for those last couple of times) until I read you can do it on a elderly NPC. But never fear, for what ever reason the pet surprising choic popped up randomly after a long dj job event and a long ASOS fashion event so it’s not always the better late than never that triggers it.... but me doing those brain dead attempts to hit lvl10 better late than never with most of my crew for a few weeks did make it proc more often.
(on an unrelated note, wiz, I want your good luck with tiger swimmers that you get from Izzy!)
Ah thanks @Here4Snacks! I wanted to pick just "Kodama" as a username but it was already taken apparently. I'm a huge Ghibli fan too! 🙂
I was swanning around the shop, window shopping, and as soon as I closed it a surprising choice triggered. It was to save a struggling business and offered discounted simcash items...
( @KodamaTreeSpirit I love them so so much, ghibli films are my top films before anything else, if you ever get the chance the ghibli museum in japan is amazing, they have this hip high howl’s castle bronze statue that I want for my garden 😋)
@Here4Snacks I got that choice a few days ago and it was one of the few times I have spent simcash on the surprising choices. I wanted that bird bath - LOL

Does anybody knows how they triggered the hot tub choice? I have been trying to get it again for days now and I'm out of options :D
I have triggered it several times. Today I was just finishing an event in the better late than never story and started a family mentoring event when it popped up.
I have the same question but with regard to the pets surprise. I want a fish and a hedgehog but have never found that one.
Me too, @rmw8855, I really struggled with that one... I love rugs...but the birdbath won!
I wouldn't suggest the hedgehog...you NEVER see it, unless you tell your Sim to pet it, then it's super quick...I didn't have enough for the fish tank, but I'm saving up...only have 149 simcash now, so it'll be awhile...my luck, they'll stop offering it just when I can afford it & the hot tub is just a fantasy lol.
I just got it again. I was just finishing an (overnight) long practice session in my piano hobby.
@BlueWizardRob, today, I had the option to "talk about pets" in the BFF story, at level 4 between the 2 characters. No surprising choice has popped up yet, but Ill keep an eye on it...
I hope it helps! 🙂
Thanks.

@BlueWizardRobit's amazimg how many times you got the hot tub choice. It's like they know you don't need them anymore so they keep offering it to you. Same with pets in my choices. I got them 3 times but they refuse to offer me the tub 😃 I'm wondering who will get their desired choice first or will we ever get it at all...
I don't know. I just got the hot tub one for the eighth time. I want a pet.

I got the offer for the 2nd time after finishing family events with a child.
Lol... "WE'RE MARRIED, YOU DOOFUS!" :D

Now for the 3rd time I’ve gotten the hot tub offer for doing the exact same interaction with a child/family event.
The stupid randomization of surprising choices and of loot box events is really starting to irritate me. If I can't get the stuff I want, why play?
