Jewelry Making Wishes i.e. Crystal Creations

Since the new road map suggests that we will be getting Jewelry Making as a new skill, here is my suggestions for the new Stuff Pack?

Jewelry Store Display Cases preferably mirrored and interlocking like cabinets

I had this as apart of my Museum Update suggestions but since the discussion turned to Burglars

Burglars

When I think of Museums I think of all the movies I have seen with people planning an art or artifact heist. There is really a lot of potential with reintroducing Burglars back into the Sims.

As a reminder it doesn't have to be either or with burglars it can be both.


  • Burglar as a random lot occurrence. Residential or Commercial
  • Burglar as a standard or active career



Burglar as random lot occurrence - Can happen at retail ons too


  • Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in, no alarm, steals some things and gets away
  • Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, attempts to break in but the locks foil them, they leave
  • Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in but the security system goes off, cops show up and they attempt to apprehend - outcome dependent upon relative fitness
  • Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in, homeowner confronts and fights them - outcome dependent upon the relative fitness
    http://i.imgur.com/DbnP8vA.jpg
  • Burglar gets arrested and a household member frees them from the police car.
  • Police show up in a squad car

  • Choosing to be a burglar/criminal career would be somewhat like choosing to be a Vampire or Werewolf where the skill set is determined by a list of choosable skills/traits. For Example

    • Burglars get the Lock Picking Skill
    • Burglars can get the Pickpocket Skill
    • Burglars can have the ability to climb fences or avoid lasers



Those that can Fight or Foil Burglars

  • Bonehilda scares the Burglar
  • Butler fights the Burglar
  • Detectives can catch crooks
  • Dog scare off the Burglar. Can have them guard the house
  • Ghosts can scare off the Burglar
  • Servos chase the Burglar
  • Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. Chance to make the burglar their minion.
  • Werewolves fight the Burglar - They always win

Burglar as a career or active career
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/crLKXitBbQg/maxresdefault.jpg

  • Casino Heists
  • Corporate Espionage
  • Burglary of Mansion lots
  • Museum break in and theft (Art, Artifact, Famous Jewel)

Security Systems
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f5/b7/e0/f5b7e03bffcd0687d69f432746537262.jpg

  • Simple Panel for Residential or Retail Lots
  • Grander security for higher stakes heists. Some of this would be cool for espionage

    • Lasers
    • Motion sensors
    • Security Desks with monitors
    • Cameras



New Lot Traits

  • No Crime
  • Low Crime
  • High Crime



New Lots that Pertain to Crime

  • Criminal Hideout
  • Police Station
