New Challenge Idea: The Kleptomaniac Challenge
The idea of the challenge: You start your sim off on an empty lot with no money, you can only earn money by stealing whatever items you can and then selling them off either at a flea market or by using the Come and Get it Street Store Table. If you wish you can sell roughly $100 worth of items with buy mode to begin with, so your sim doesn't starve while you wait for the flea market to happen. Edit: Upon play testing I've realized that not all objects that can be stolen can be moved to your sims inventory, in line with this I have added a new exception
Rules:
-You have to start off with 0 money on an empty lot
-Your sim has to be a kleptomaniac, so either they have the trait or you have a mod that allows any sim to be a kleptomaniac. If your mod removes the cool down moodlet you have to observe the cool down manually by only stealing one item every two hours.
-You can only earn money by selling your stolen goods.
-If your neighbors start running low on things for you to steal you can enter their lots and replace the items you've stolen from them.
-Your sim must not have a job
-To survive you may visit neighbors houses and use their beds and showers, but you may only eat food at a neighbors house once a day, and only if it can be microwaved.
Exceptions:
If you need to, your sim can do one of the following:
-Write and publish one book per week
-Paint and sell one large painting per week
-Paint and sell two medium paintings per week
-Paint and sell three small paintings per week
-Busk one hour each day
-Sell harvestables from 14 sources per week or two a day
-Sell 14 collected items per week (collected items must be sold via flea market, trading table, or business)
-You may sell any stolen item direct from buy mode if it can't be moved to your sims inventory, if you don't own a business.
You may only do one of the above each week to supply extra income. You may for example; choose to busk one hour each day one week, and then paint and sell two medium paintings the next. I'll add more exceptions after looking into what can be made with different skills (I'm open to suggestions).
Selling your items can be done;
-at the flea market
-with the yard sale trading table (or the wall for selling paintings if you have paintings)
-or with a business.
If you choose to open a business to sell your stolen goods you must not restock the items. Your store inventory is based on what you steal so once you sell that item you must remove it's placard from your store.
And finally; to make things interesting when you build your house you should decorate it with some stolen goods. I realize not everything can be stolen so feel free to buy other things to populate your house.
