Chance Cards: A Quick Gambler's Guide
Ellatrue:
Has anyone yet done an analysis for the new Seasons and Free Time careers? It would be useful to know which cards are not worth taking at all, and carry a risk of firing/loss of a skill point.
Kyna:
Check the first post, Pes updated it to include the Seasons careers about a year ago.
But yes, I would like to see the chances for the Free Time careers and hobbies.
I noticed that my sims (including a teen) are getting chance cards while at work/school based on their hobbies. I had one where I ignored the work chance card, and they immediately got a hobby one.
J. M. Pescado:
Such impatience. Can't I get to PLAY the damn thing first? In Free Time, odds are far less important because of the 80% chance card perk, meaning ANY option you choose is favorable and it strictly comes down to gambling for the best payout, even if the odds were formerly shit.
Karen:
So that 80% chance card perk really does what they claim? I was wondering about that.... You're right, that's really going to be boring to play.

EDIT: I would love to see a hack that put some randomization (or at least uncertainty) into it. Let's say, 80% chance of positive outcome if Sim is in gold asp or above, otherwise 80% chance of negative outcome. Or a hack that lowered the chance to 50% (or whatever). Something along those lines.

I haven't checked it, so I'm just working from the blurb at face value. If anyone reports that it doesn't match up, I might investigate it.

An 80% chance of success means you are still wrong more than half the time, by the 50-90 rule.
