Cops and robbers

In an American based world there should be the option to be a criminal. And if you get caught by cops you will get sent to jail and have to live there for set time. You could live life in jail, just like any other residential unit and not have it be a rabbit hole. 

Each cell block could have 8 cells with 2 sims per cell. You would only be in control of your sim in the cell.

You would move there but still keep home you own. Family could visit every Saturday and you could get one phone call a day outgoing. 


Criminal branches could be thief from stores / home burglary.

Home burglary would work just like we have no with the kleptomania trait and b/e swiping. The household could have a security alarm and the police would come and catch you unless you run away or hide. The police would come and try and find you. You would be able to sell items on the black market or certain npc’s.

When stealing from a store , If store has security camera installed you could get caught more easily./ secuirty alarm.  You could steal simoleons from till. If you are fit and athletic you could run from police , if fat and low athletic skill you could get caught easy.

You could also sell herbs / illegal medication to other sims and get caught.

You could also grow and sell. 

You could also become a crime boss leader and you could convince other sims to sell / commit crimes for you and give you a commission and you could fight them / scare them if they say no. But they could also report you to the police.

You could get into fight and go to jail for it (but you should be able to turn this off / decide what is a crime)

You could sell bootleg videos of movies and cds and go to jail for 1 day etc.

There should be a get out of jail free card cheat / a way to pay your way out by hiring good lawyer. 

You could also play as cop and try and catch criminals and investigate crimes. 

You could also play as prison guard.

  • @Simian868 there is already a criminal career in the base game with 2 branches. There's also the Villain branch of the Secret Agent career.

    The game is restricted by it's age rating so I doubt it couldn't add selling/growing of illegal medication on it's current rating. 

    Break ins were introduced with the For Rent pack. Your Sim can snoop and eavesdrop for secrets in Sims homes and blackmail them with whatever secrets they find. I combined it with the Secret Agent career and had my Double Agent breaking into Sims homes which was a lot of fun to play.

    There are jail cells with the Get to Work Detective Career and the items for those and the police station can be unlocked and used in build mode. I wonder if you could use those to design your own prison building. By using door locks you could lock Sims in. You could create it like a household with guards and criminals. Might be an interesting project to try out.
