Zayne Hunter, Kleptomaniac

Question

I've been away from the Sims for years. A sudden urge made me resurrect my old favorite sim for a new adventure.

I'm trying out the Klepto King challenge by MrAlex, with a few tweaks to the rules. For instance, Zayne refuses to wear all black. What are ya gonna do? Likewise, she refuses to be evil. She's pretty mischievous on her own, she didn't really need any help in that department. I didn't make her lifetime wish to be a Master Thief, because that would require getting a job, which conflicts with the Don't Get a Job Ever rule. Finally, I'm not limiting her to only stealing from each house once because ... well, that's no fun.

I can't post the story here because I refuse to commit to G-rated content only, so here's a taste.

And here's where you can find the rest of it: https://zaynehunterkleptomaniac.blogspot.com/

Introductions and Stuff Hi. I’m Zayne.I love pink, I love men, and I never, ever wear shoes.When I was just shaking off my teens, I moved to a tiny house in a quaint little town called Sunset Valley. Think Mayberry with slightly better night spots. I was overcome with lust for anything with a Y chromosome, and a driving ambition to become Sunset Valley’s next big rock star.Oh, I forgot. Here’s an old picture of me.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/OldZayne.jpgI did it, too. I made it to the big time. I was rich and famous. Pretty cool, huh?I fell in love with this gorgeous soccer star named Travis. What a hunk that guy was. Sigh. He made it into the big time, too. But he also made it into the world of drugs and lowlife friends. He turned out to be a big jackass who drained the bank accounts and left me. I became so depressed that it was kind of like PTSD or something. My own career tanked and I couldn’t seem to drag myself out of the hole. Seems I couldn’t handle it either, when life got too real.I tried moving to the big city with the emergency funds Travis hadn’t known about. I had the idea that with what was left of my pop star rep, I’d meet some people and form a band. Become a star again. That didn’t go as planned. Turns out that being a big fish in a little pond doesn’t cut it in the big city. I couldn’t get into any of the cool clubs, I couldn’t meet anybody, I couldn’t make any connections. I won a trip to France in a giveaway, so I lived there for a while. It was beautiful. I don’t have any pictures to show of my time there because I lost my digital camera and I had never printed out my pictures. Someday I want to go back.I was depressed, jobless, and hungry. A lot of people have gardens over there, it’s a thing, and I started taking fruits and vegetables. I told myself not to think of it as stealing, I thought of it as surviving. I ate some and I sold some. Take my advice. Don’t try to make a living that way.I had pretty much run out of options, and like a homing pigeon I came home to Sunset Valley. It’s a place I’m familiar with, and that’s comforting. Out of nostalgia, I moved into the same little house I started my whole journey in.Here’s what came of it. I got to like the stealing. There’s a rush from getting away with it. There’s a sense of normalcy from owning something again. I dunno. The edibles were my gateway drug. The real quirk is that I can’t seem to control WHAT I steal. Or how frequently I steal.My shrink mostly just sits there and nods and takes notes. This irritates me. However, he did say that this might be my leftover desire to be a law-abiding citizen fighting with my new love of being a second story man. He also said it would be good for me to start a new blog. Get in touch with myself again, or some psychobabble.This is me now.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/NewZayne.jpgI guess that’s about it for the introductions. Let’s get back to living. Zayne’s back, people!

Learning to Steal I’m not really a good thief. In fact, I suck at it.At first I stole a lot of chairs. No tables, just chairs.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/LotsOfChairs.jpgA LOT of chairs. And clocks.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/LotsOfChairs2.jpghttps://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/LotsOfClocks.jpgI’m getting better, slowly. This is what I stole tonight.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/StolenFountain.jpgIt’s a marble fountain. Pretty, isn’t it?

Making FriendsThis is Caroline. Isn’t she gorgeous?https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/CarolineBragg.jpgI first saw her when she entered the library with her little girl in her arms, and walked right into the wall. Talk about clumsy. She got my attention right away. She’s just got to be interesting.She got bored with our conversation and started reading a book. So I went right over to her house and stole her stove. Ha ha! I kill myself.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/StolenStove.jpgSee the red circle I drew where the stove was? Her husband didn’t even notice. Maybe he’s not too bright.She actually called me on the phone while I was there and we had a nice chat. I couldn’t make this stuff up.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v406/SueDNim/ThiefChat.PNG“I’m in your house stealing your stuff!”I hope she gets a new one. After all, I want to make friends with her. I like the stove, though. It’s better than my old one, and I don’t burn food quite as often.
