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 so that it could accommodate any decor. Now, I'm going to have her steal every single piece of furnishing and decor she needs for her place.It will be interesting to see what her apartment ends up looking like since I'm not going to plan the decor very much, but rather get it opportunistically. Here's what the apartment looks like right now, at the beginning:https://simchick.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/Frm_Klepto_Living.png?w=584https://simchick.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/Frm_Klepto_Bath.png?w=584https://simchick.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/Frm_Klepto_Bed.png?w=584Has anyone else ever tried this before?

I'm not sure but i believe you can only steal certain things... Mostly only decorative things.. If I am wrong feel free to correct me.

@Corenren I was at a retail store, and I clicked on one of the chairs (not for sale) and got the option to swipe it, so I think you can swipe almost anything. I think it might depend on their klepto skill level, too, or maybe their mischief skill level? I'm not sure.

Oh noooo - you were right @Corenren -- I can steal chairs but not tables or rugs?? And my sim is at a mischief level of 10. I'm bummed.I'm currently looking for a mod that will let me steal more stuff, otherwise, my klepto might have to actually buy some of her furniture (oh no! LOL).@calaprfy They do steal autonomously, but there's also a trait you can give them that will make them steal more often.

I did a Rags to Riches, Klepto version and combined it with the Runaway Teen challenge awhile back. The rule I made for her was that her only income could come from things she's stolen and then 'sold' to a fence. Once she got to the highest level and started stealing paintings and Knight statues from the museum, it made life a lot easier for her. lolI never thought about restricting her from buying anything and using her ill-gotten loot to furnish her home/lot, that's a great idea! I might have to try this myself. However, I do know you can't steal some of the larger appliances, like stove, refrigerator, etc., so it's a good thing you've already included those in the apartment from the beginning.Another fun Rags to Riches challenge is only furnishing your Sims home with things they can make on the woodworking table. A little limited there too, but it was still cool to do! I pretended my Sim was a carpenter hired to live in a lighthouse to maintain it and had to furnish it himself since it was old, abandoned and came with limited furnishings. :) Good luck and have fun!

Oh, gosh. That's hilarious. My klepto stole a lot of fun stuff (a lot from the art museum) but had nowhere to put it. She also found the love of her life when she and a former enemy bonded of their mutual fondness for taking things that didn't belong to them. :)

One of my sims has the klepto trait and he brings a guitar from work almost everyday

LOL - that is so weird and random, but awesome! I would love it if my sim randomly brought home guitars.

It was pretty funny the first couple of times, but it got boring after a while. At some point he just stopped bringing guitars and started stealing dirty dishes or random fruits?

I have done this little challenge on my own testing it for an independant career subject that I have created on the French forums. If you use the "always welcomed" reward trait, you will be able to go swipe things in every residential lot you wish. You knock at the door and it opens so you can help yourself around, no problem. And the "no stress" reward trait will help you never get tens when you get caught.

My ladysim has a cover, she introduces herself as a "house staff" (house personnel) wearing the suit that you can find on the gallery and taking care of the dirty dishes while she's watching around to find what she could swipe.

That is a great tip and an amazing idea! Thank you!!

What a great idea! I think I might try this. Anything they can't use I'll have them sell. All their money will have to come from something they swiped or collectibles. I'm debating on whether or not they'll be able to just sell the items or have to go through the Flea Market or own a store.

Awesome thread! I hope you will continue to let us know how she gets along with furnishing her home :D

I was going to play a klepto sim once and never got around to it. I had made Kaylynn Langerak and put her in a 'maid' club with a few others I had made (using the GT club system), with a black and white uniform. I was going to have them going round cleaning places and swiping stuff at the same time lol.

But I love your idea of having a basic home and furnishing it from the ill-gotten gains. Does she have a day job or only earn from her thefts?

I love the idea of a maid club! She only earns from her thefts. I haven't done much with her lately because I'm waiting on
lemememeringue from modthesims who promised to make a mod that allows sims to swipe anything and everything. Hopefully, they're working on it and haven't forgotten about me, haha. I'm going to wait another week and then message them if I haven't heard anything.
