when you are referring to your setup, what do you mean when you talk about chance cards? and how do you determine which sim rolls which card?

homijoh:

Great question! I made a list of possible good and bad things that could happen to sims and then assigned them all number all into a table in an excel file that looks like this:

Each sim upon aging into Young Adult, Adult or Elder rolls between 1-55 for one of these. So that’s a total of at least 3 per lifetime, unless the death card is rolled of course. Additionally if I’m bored with a household or not sure where to take the story next I might roll for the household and then apply that card to a sim of my choosing.

Some examples of this we’ve seen in the stories:

Victor rolled an affair card to have Aron with Dina

Catarina Lynx has rolled both the loose job and gain money cards.

Jaques Villareal and Brent Hecking both rolled for alien pregnancy

Sergio Romeo rolled for a new career and switched from tech guru to secret agent

75% of the animals in the town were from adopt a pet chance card(I gave some houses some pets just because I wanted to as well haha)

Mitchell Kalani and Brant Hecking both rolled for the adopt a child card(this is important for later 😉 )

I could go on and on! I also have a lot more rules and rolls for other life stages as well and would be happy to share the excel file or pdf version to anyone that would like to see it. Just let me know here or on discord(funfetti#0427)!

Decided to upload the files to simsfileshare for anyone who wants to take a look:
