I’m curious to find how many people would want EA to add in the Oppurtunity system from The Sims 3, into The Sims 4.
The opportunity system was actually one of the best parts of the Sims 3 for me. It added easy gameplay (it basically utilised existing content) but it made it interesting.
For example, there were Chess Tournaments, Cooking bake offs etc that while it’s basically “cook food and put it in your inventory” or “go to the park and play chess” it gave reason to play and keeps promoting you with things to do.
Would you like to see this feature added back in as part of a patch? Or would you rather other free content?

Yes! But I would want it done differently (explain)
No, I didn’t use it/like it.

I think it also gives more purpose to everyday objects.
I’d love if my Sim cams home from the Business career and for example it said
“Hey it’s a food contest in the office tomorrow! Prepare your best dish and bring it to work and the winner will get to come home early”
Or a Sim in the artist career:
“The local painting contest is upon us again. Submit your best work and if you win, you’ll receive a $2000 cash prize and maybe gain some impressive work performance”
Just little things that mean when I come home it didn’t “eat, fun, bladder, shower, sleep”

We have some similar things already, there is talent showcase night, the festivals, karaoke competitions and maybe more I can’t think of right now.
Some ideas they could add are basketball tournaments, repairing people’s stuff, weight lifting competitions, and the things from sims 3 like the cook offs would be fun too.
Lots of great ideas could come from implementing this again. Good idea, thanks for sharing it.
Didn't really play TS3 so I dn't know this system. But it sounds interesting. I welcome everything new for TS4!
On my blog (German) you'll find two completed vampire stories 🦇 and an ongoing ghost story 👻.
I'm also posting about my I'm surrounded by idi🤪ts! - challenge, in which I've now reached gen 9.
Thanks for stopping by! 👋
I could see it possibly getting repetitive, though. Maybe if they added more things to do, then perhaps it would be a good idea.
And please only the opportunities in themselves, no stories around them! I remember the game telling my writers that their books were outlawed in China. More often thatn not that didn't fit at all, because Sims 3 has no way to tell what my sims wrote and what my China is like.
I agree with this. I think this time around (if it's added) they should cycle in, replace, or add a new twist to some opportunities at least once a year, in an update. And of course, there should be some opportunities related to the packs you have.
If they were to be added, it should be completely optional.
That's no different then in TS3.
You voted for wanting it done differently but S3 does have the option to turn off Opportunity pop ups. It's called "Suppress Opportunities" under Game Options. But I agree... I hope if this is ever a feature added to S4 that yes, we would continue to have this option.
