Big Ticket Items Kit...
When you play with aging turned off it is harder to stay poor than it is to get rich. This suggestion is for money sink items that are ridiculously expensive.
There are about 25 items in a kit. You could have 5 tiers with five items per tier. The more items you have the more likely the burglar will attempt to rob you. The higher the tier the items are, the tougher the burglar will be.
Tier 1: Burglar can bypass the burglar alarm.
Tier 2: Tier 1 + Burglar can block phones from dialing out. No Police.
Tier 3: Tiers 1 & 2 + Burglar is strong and hard to beat in a fight.
Tier 4: Tiers 1 -3 + Burglar can do a smoke bomb escape.
Tier 5: Tiers 1 -4 + Burglar is stealthy and can only be seen if the lights are on in the room they are in. Burglar does not trigger auto-lights.
More items could also mean more burglars per event.
This kit is just a game play mechanic to reduce household funds and keep things challenging.
