Opportunities

Opp generic.png Opportunities will appear from time to time for your sim to complete. There are three different types of opportunities that you can encounter: career, skill, and special. You can only have one opportunity in each category at a time, i.e. if you currently have an athletic skill opportunity that you have not completed, you will not get a chance to do another skill opportunity until that one is done, but you can still get career or special opportunities. You can choose to accept the opportunities and complete them for a reward, or decline them with no negative consequences. Some opportunities are timed and must be completed by a deadline to get the reward.

Opportunity Panel
After you accept an opportunity it will appear in the opportunity panel. This will show you the status of your current opportunities. If you chose to abandon an opportunity you accepted, you can right click on the icon and the opportunity will go away.

For timed opportunities; yes means there is a deadline, no means it can be completed at anytime, immediate directly follows your current work shift, and restrictions means it has to be completed during specific hours or days and usually before a deadline. Be sure to check your opportunities panel for details.


Career Opportunities

Opp work.pngOpportunities related to your career will pop up as you progress along your career path. Not accepting these will not cause your Sim to get Demoted or fired. However, completing them will almost always lead to improved performance at work and/or a promotion. If any opportunity requires you to read a book, the book will appear in your Sim's inventory.
