I carry over sim cards. Hitting the the sim shot is not skill, it’s luck, at least on my game. you get it by indirect bounces. If it were skill and makeable at least 50% of the time I’d say no carry over, but I can hit mine less than 1 in 10 tries off the flipper so I carry it over. Once I changed it to carry over, the game became much more enjoyable for me. It’s still hard to collect letters, most I’ve gotten in over 2 years is four so it’s not like I’m breezing through the game.
