How to trigger gardening opportunity? Is there a mod to improve the chance?

I finally got the initial "plant eggs and cheese" opportunity after bringing my 3rd Sim up to 10 Gardening.  It's not clear what triggers it beyond luck.  It's certainly not career, because this Sim was my go at farming, he was unemployed and did nothing for money but raise crops.

Running a fambly of 3 sims, all with 10 gardening for ages, all having about 3k harvests each. As of now after 10+ weeks of ingame time, only 2 of them have completed the 3 opportunities, and the last one is still waiting for the omniplant one.
Rough chronology:
Created original fambly with 2 sims
Sim 1 got 10 gardening, planted perfect garden, Sim 2 came in, harvested everything for 3 days and got 10 gardening.
After about 3 weeks of ingame time, both sims got the cheeseplant opportunity within 1 day of each other
Added CAS Sim 3 into the fambly for procreation as premade townies are fuggly, reached 10 gardening using same method as Sim 2. Obtained the cheeseplant opportunity almost immediately (i.e. within 3 days of addition)
Nothing for about 2 weeks, then all 3 sims got the steakplant opportunity within 2 days of each other, in order sim 1,2,3.
Another lull of about 1 week, Sim 1 obtained the Omni Plant opportunity. One week later, Sim 3 obtained Omni Plant as well.
It appears to be completely random, though there may be certain "times" when gardening opportunities are given out.

Rothchild:
Actually, the three gardening opportunities have the second highest chance of happening.  Their 'ChanceToGetOnPhone' is 70, ReviveGhost is 75, next highest is only 20, while most are 5 or 10.  Opportunities seem to come every 2 to 4 days, and it randomly selects one out of all opportunities you qualify for with probability based on 'ChanceToGetOnPhone'.  If that's all correct, the quickest way to get the opportunity would be to not have a job or any other skill, therefor massively reducing the possible opportunities you could get.

That's weird. I barely get any gardening opportunities at all. I played both a regular sim ans oone cheattest type sim... The regular one keeps on getting cooking career opportunities but very, very few gardening opportunites and overal skill opportunities. This sim is a level 10 in the cooking carrer and has maxed, gardening, fishing and cooking.

The cheatsim has no job and had no friends untill I tried to socialize with people in the hopes that it would trigger the opportunity.... nothing happened. I'm triying to let her be friends with all the people required for the regular cooking skill especially Emma Hatch but it doesn't seem to be doing any good.

I had another sim however with the atheletic trait and she would constantly get athletic skill opportunities. I'll keep the mod thing in mind. I wish there would be a seperate mod to trigger the skill opportunites though since JM's seems to have so many features I'm not really interested in using at this point in time.
