Ah! When I see mods like this I think 'Of course!' Why couldn't our sims be able to buy a scratchie from the store! Thank you so much!

Thanks guys, appreciate it... I've made some changes to it where you can actually change the prize pools via tuning, I'll update in the upcoming days.

"Additional Note: Scratch Offs are a con in The Sims too!" < phew, you saved the essential, part, haha! Now we know it's lore-friendly. Thanks for creating this mod, darren111, pretty sure my sims will need some addiction therapy after their first purchase.

Yeah I like the slot machine from the sims 3 store too, I like the lottery from Into the Future, but I find it's too easy to win and have to create my own tuning mods xD

I didn't realise that inactive sims autonmously buy a scratchie from the Grocery store too! I just saw a notification that said 'Barrington Diamond just won a minor prize of §25 on a Scratch Off Ticket from Essentials Local Grocers, it has been deposited directly into his account'. Nice!

That's right, NPC's buy scratchies too! You can turn off the notifications via tuning, if necessary. The sims gain fun from playing.

@darren111 This mod is so much fun to have in game! I especially savor the notifications of townies who are feeling ripped off after autonomously purchasing their tickets, haha! Can't get enough of them.

Feature request: could it be possible to purchase a scratch off ticket from the smartphone, for increased ease of access to the addictive con? (my sims are lazy and want to get ripped off with just a few swipes on their screen.) If at all possible, for those of us who have the "Online Center" mod installed, could the Scratch Off ticket purchase interaction be available under the "Online Center" smartphone interaction, so it'd be conveniently located near the EA Lottery Ticket purchase interaction? Twice the fun, twice the addiction, twice the con, in the same one smartphone.

No problem at all if it can't be done, I appreciate what you've done with the mod already!

Then the mod would rely on online center but I'll look into a computer interaction. I'm thinking about creating a different mod, similar to scumbumbo's mod for the sims 4 where you can actually pick your number, I guess you'd be interested in that too, it's not started yet though so may be a couple of months before the end result
