A Crime Game Pack inspired by The Streets of Rage

If you're unfamiliar with the Streets of Rage games, they're set in a rough city that has been taken over by a crime syndicate who corrupted the government/police, and you play a rookie cop taking down the bad guys. 🚔 The games all have an urban, late 80/early 90s house vibe to them.

Some ideas for the pack:

- a new world: a rough, crime-ridden city with a port, park, a gym/dojo, unwholesome bars, commercial tower block, and unpleasant looking residential apartments.
- gameplay that revolves around criminal activity and corruption
- new careers: 'crime' as a freelance career, and perhaps 'Vigilante'
- a new House radio station
- every neighbourhood gets a "Crime Rate", a bit like the pollution rating that Eco Living added
- crimes and brawls happen more frequently in places with high crime rates
- a 'pickpocket' interaction
- new skills - pickpocketing and martial arts
- a brawl/fighting competition event
- burglars are brought back
- new transportation: skateboards and perhaps motorbikes
- if your sim is caught doing a crime, they can be arrested and have to do jail time or pay a fine (this being less likely in high crime rate areas)
- criminal sims can recruit other sims to build a gang that can steal higher valued possessions/$$$
- a hierarchy among criminal sims in the new crime world
- if your sim owns commercial space, it can get vandalised with graffiti or $$$ taken from the cash register
- CAS and build/buy items with an urban theme, and tie in with the 1980s House genre

These are just some ideas :)

  • This is a very well thought out idea. :smile:
    It isn't my personal style, so I probably wouldn't buy it myself, but I'm sure a lot of players would like some aspects of this.

    I know it's not the same as having a crime inspired pack but if you have City Living (where you can have "unpleasant apartments" by using certain traits) and/or Get To Work (which comes with a Detective career) you could perhaps do something similar in your own game. If you have Get Together you could also make a "criminal" group.

    I wouldn't mind the idea of pickpocketing being added to the mischief social interactions, if I remember correctly you could be pickpocketed in The Sims 2? I don't remember if that came with a specific pack though. And I know many players would like burglars to return. :smile:
  • OMG I NEED THIS. <3 <3 <3 Im actually playing a sim right now who's deep in the criminal underworld and deals in illegal goods. A pack like this would be super perfect for this and I wouldnt have to rely on mods as much. And Im loving the idea of neighborhoods having their own crime rates. Ive built some poor homes and projects to act as low income neighborhoods, but I'd love it if the environment they were in were equally trashy and derelict looking instead of pretty and clean and nice. The neighborhoods with Eco Living were a step in the right direction for me.

    Now, I dont think they would add another criminal career (since you know we already have one with BG) but that career NEEDS more consequence. Chances for criminal mayhem to go wrong, chances for your sim to get arrested and disappear for a little while, (especially if you have GTW, you sim will actually be arrested and processed and you spend like a sim day in jail). That career should get a revamp for such a pack.
