Hello! I've made a loot that adds one of four traits. Each trait is blacklisted with the others, so a Sim will only get one of the four. I put each to have a 25% chance, expecting one of the four will get picked.
When I tested this in game, everything worked great. The traits, and buff, worked. However, of the 8 sims I put in a household to try this, one did not have any trait. The others has one of the 4.
This makes me think that the chance for the traits are 25% each. So it can fail each one on a very slim chance, resulting in the Sim who got none of them.
Now the question I have, and I couldn't find an answer when searching...
1. Does the logic of the game go down the list as presented? My first thought was to have the final trait be 100% so if the first three failed, they would get at least the last trait. But I don't want the game to see the 100 and default to that.
2. Assuming the list is linear pass/fail/next, should the percentages for each reflect the percentage of the remaining traits? Meaning the first is 25 (one of four), second is 33 (one of three), third us 50 (one of two), and last is 100 (one of one)?
3. Forgive me, I am not too strong at math. If the method in #2 is right, should the strongest version of the trait be the first one listed/rolled, with each other attempt the slightly weaker one? I think the first one would be the hardest to get in this, but wanted to make sure.
