With Get Famous, the number of Kleptos has gotten out of hand, is the issue. (EVERY PAPARAZZI HAS IT.) I don't think the trait needs to be removed - I honestly could care less about computers or what not being stolen. What I care about is when custom paintings or photographs are stolen; they're effectively irreplaceable. Don't remove kleptomaniacs - remove it as a mandatory train for paparazzi, and give us something which functions as an effective security system. Let us put a security camera in our home, or in rooms, and make it so the klepto trait doesn't function in a room with that item - or they're immediately given a 'caught red handed' action, which returns the stolen item from inventory and returns it to the player, and sends the klepto sim to jail.
The trait is broken; when a PC is playing a klepto, they're not supposed to be able to steal in front of other Sims. But NPC Sims do it all the time, brazenly, and apparently without a cooldown. (I watched a paparazzi steal twelve masterpieces back to back.) Also, disable it on retail lots/restaurants/vet clinics. In the case of retail, it can make high value retail stores guaranteed to run at a loss.
I don't want the klepto trait removed - I want it fixed, and countermeasures, so there's some balance and realism to the trait. I *don't* want to have to rely on third party mods or cheats to correct it.
