Re: What things can I swipe?! I can't find anything to steal!
If your sim has the kleptomaniac trait, she will autonomously steal something.from time to time. It is not something you control.

- @jpkarlsen But you can though! There's an option on some (frustratingly few!) items that says "Attempt to swipe". I remember for sure that you can swipe that basegame bust. It's fairly expensive (I think it might be princess Cordelia bust even??) so I didn't actually try putting that in for the teen to swipe because I wasn't sure if she could steal it given her low skill level. But she should be able to steal some bloody magazines..
Oh and there's actually even a bug in the game that allows non-klepto sims to swipe those Nifty knitting craftable items but I can't remember if actual kleptomaniacs can.. I can never figure out what’s swipable at lower levels. Some posters I think, but not all. Trash? Plates? I’ve generally just waited until mischief was high before trying. The tense from not stealing does get annoying though.
While you cannot control what your sim steals from work, stealing is absolutely something you can control. At different skill levels, you can TELL YOUR SIM to steal items at lots they visit. Not all items can be stolen, which may be where your confusion is coming from. To use this feature yourself, try taking your kleptomaniac to the humor festival and click on another sims joker/trickster drink after they set it down. "attempt to swipe" will be an option. It is available 100% on those drinks because they are free, unless you've already attempted a swipe too recently.
Hope this helps both you and anyone who may have been confused by your incorrect response.
