Stupid Opportuni-teez
Nimrod:
Okay, I'll admit that at first, the opportunities were great. Easy money, skills and relationships. Now, I find that the opportunities get in the way of my current goals. What's more, it is if the game gets pissed when I cancel them out over and over, so it throws multiple opportunities for all household sims in succession. Currently, every few sim days, I'm forced to cancel out as many as nine opportunites in a row. And why does a previously played sim, who cooks nothing but perfect meals and even made and consumed ambrosia while I was away with another household, need frekkin' grilled hamburgers delivered to her? Or, why does a master mechanic, who has upgraded everything ten times over, suddenly need his stereo repaired by some nOOb who has level one or two mechanical skill? Where are the checks and balances? HUH?
I'm really not enjoying such imposing gameplay. There should be a switch to turn that crap off, with the exception of real skill reward opportunities like for gardening. As it is, I must continually babysit the game when all I want to do is let it run highspeed to pass specific time, like time off, as I do other real stuff like housekeeping, cooking or running a quick errand, to name a few. Perhaps if a certain someone(s) could get this mess under control, then another certain someones would follow suite.

I have the opposite sensation of desiring more quests, but I will look into it. I mean, YAY, A QUEST! Now if only the GOOD ones would show up more.

I am also a slave-driving puppetmaster, and rarely get any opportunities...possibly because my Sims skill up faster than opportunities generate. I have been gardener lvl 10 for several Simweeks and have yet to get the Omni Plant Challenge from the stupid cafe. Anyway, I'd like MOAR opportunities.
BlueSoup:
My vote is for more as well. Though I have yet to play a big household, because I just don't have the patience for that kind of micromanaging.

I think you need to first plant using the omni plant from the science center. My sim did that and right afterwards got the challenge for the seeds.
Anyway, in my game the opportunities have been few and can't say that they bother me much. Except when this old fella got an opportunity from the stadium that he's got talent and that he should skill up. Or when my loner sim got an opportunity to befirend some rich old guy to improve charisma. They are weird and I agree with the OP that I could easily do without them.
