The Magical Immobilization Caper (Part 1)
Eliza consulted her neighborhood map. The neighbors' homes had been a nice source of income, but they were just about picked clean at this point.

Eliza had become confident in her tranquilizing handshake skills
So, time to take this tactic out of the home neighborhood into the big-time.
There was a beautiful big painting in the Waterside Warble that Eliza wished to remove from its location. On a scouting errand, she had already discovered that somehow she had developed the ability to swipe objects outside the neighborhood. Maybe enough Sharing is Caring experience has taught her how to function like a true kleptomaniac. (She does have enough aspiration points for a re-traiting potion if I ever want to give her the kleptomaniac trait officially.)
But somehow, tranquilizing handshake doesn't seem to work outside the home neighborhood. She made the bartender drop to the floor all right, but even while unconscious she still caught Eliza at her swiping.
Hmm. Maybe this is a difference between Sharing Is Caring and regular swiping. Embarrassed, Eliza went home and back to the drawing board.
Meanwhile, Iggy was growing up. He has that saddest of aspirations for someone who lives in a private dwelling: Party Animal. Poor guy. At least he found a suitably party color for his hair. Looks good on you, kid.

And he can hang out with friends at other places. Here's Evie Delgato, his pal since elementary school
Iggy was out with friends one night when he got some sad news.
After that, Eliza was out of potions of plentiful needs. She also wondered if her friends in the magical realm could help her with some additional ways to immobilize people using magic. Preferably, immobilizing them in such a way that they wouldn't catch her swiping things.

There doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of victims

Nooooo... poor Bob and his tragic love for cake!
Poor Iggy, he has lost his only decent parent!
Iggy drowned his sorrows in painting.
Only sad paintings.

(Is it neo-primitive, or just primitive?)
Eliza didn't want to admit it, but she felt sad too, especially at the prospect of parenting full-time
https://i.postimg.cc/HsJf7Ywy/left-alone.png
She loved Iggy but they saw the world in such different ways

"Focus! Why won't you focus?"
"Mom, I'm not going to college, it doesn't matter!"
"Of course you're going to college!"
"No way! I'm going to stay home and paint! Can I just go paint now please?"
"You think you're going to earn any money as a painter?"
(Fortunately they are sims, so his prospects aren't bad really...)
Then Eliza drank potions of plentiful needs and read the obituaries all night.
