๐ The story
Marry them or dump them? Take the job or quit? Buy the house or blow the savings? Your Sim doesn't decide โ a coin does. Surrender every big choice to pure chance and follow wherever the flips lead.
๐ The goal
Play a Sim's life where **every major decision is settled by a real coin or dice roll**.

- No re-flipping a result you dislike.
โ What you can do

๐ก Strategy tips
- Set clear "heads/tails" meanings before each flip so there's no fudging after the fact.
- Use dice for multi-option choices (1โ2 = job A, 3โ4 = job B, etc.).
- Lean into bad flips as story โ the chaos is the entire appeal.

๐ฅ Want it harder?
- Flip for *minor* decisions too, not just the big ones.
- A single "ruin" result on any flip must be honoured fully, however costly.
