๐Ÿ“– The story

You don't pick anything. A random generator does โ€” your Sim's traits, their job, where they live, who they marry. Each round hands you a fresh hand of cards, and your only job is to play whatever luck deals as well as you can.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Play only with whatever a **random generator hands you each round**, adapting to your luck.

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • Use a randomiser for every setup choice โ€” traits, aspiration, career, world, partner โ€” and play the hand you're dealt.
  • Randomise each setup element; **no re-rolls**.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Every choice that *can* be randomised, is.
  • No re-rolling results you don't like.
  • Adapt your play to whatever you're given.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Randomise traits, aspiration, career and home before playing.
  • Honour each result fully.
  • Re-roll a fresh "life" each round when you want a new hand.

โœ… What you can do

  • Use a random generator each round and adapt to whatever luck hands you; use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Play only what you're given โ€” no re-rolling results you dislike.
  • No cheats.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Decide your randomisation method up front (an app, dice, CAS randomise) for consistency.
  • Make the best of clashing results โ€” a shy Sim in a fame career is a story, not a mistake.
  • Keep rounds short so a bad hand is just a quick chapter, not a slog.

๐Ÿ’• Milestones โ€” track your progress

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Randomise mid-life events too (a forced move, a surprise child).
  • Commit to a full lifetime on a single rolled hand, no fresh rounds.
