Fun Way to Play a Klepto
I put together an apartment for my klepto with only attached items (flooring, walls, lights, curtains, shelves, and kitchen and bath fixtures), plus a refrigerator and a bed. I made everything white s...

Okay, so here's what I've done so far. Unfortunately, there is no "swipe any object" mod. I did approach a modder about making one, but I have no idea if anything will come of that. I still want to play where my klepto has to decorate with "found" objects, so I decided to "case" commercial lots and swipe anything that's swipeable. After that, I'll change the lot to residential, move her in, have her make a copy of anything she wants from the site that's not swipeable and put it in her household inventory, and then move her back to her apartment. I view this as her breaking in at night and taking stuff, even though I know that's a huge stretch. There aren't a whole lot of good workarounds right now.
So, here's her loot so far. She went to a Starbucks and swiped a book and a big screen TV. Then I had her "break in" and take a rug, a table, a vase, and a couple of pieces of kitchen clutter. I have a rule that she has to use the object in the size it was in when she took it. The game changes items to their default size when they go into inventory, so I have to remember their size and change them back when I get her home. The rug is too big for her apartment (I didn't realize at the time), so I'll have her "fence" it for money.
I will have her only make money from objects she swiped and then sold, but I won't specifically take items from a "break in" in order to sell them-- I'll only sell the break-in items if I accidentally get something that doesn't work in her apartment. So she'll have to take the risk of swiping in order to get most of her sellable items. I use cheats to cancel out the money she actually has to spend on break-in items.
The game makes you wait a certain interval of time in between swipes, but I did get around that by downloading a mod that allows me to just steal to my heart's content without waiting in between.
