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. :)

I've been recently playing a klepto also. I'd never done it before, but because of the vaults that came with GF I decided to give it a go (still haven't set up a vault for him to steal from though). It's been a lot of fun so far. I've been able to swipe chairs and lots of paintings, pet beds ect. What he doesn't use in his home I sell off. I'm combining it with a bad rep although he's only gotten caught stealing once. Other things are happening for him and it ends up steering me away from my main goals lol. As long as we are having fun though right?

I've got to make another klepto as mine has been gone a while, back in Sims 3 I had one that actually swiped a police car outside a venue when it was not being watched, was really funny, you could swipe more objects in that one, I miss that.

@Samsonguy9000 I love your pawn shop idea. So creative!

@AprilDawn I don't have Get Famous yet, but the vaults sound fun. I cracked up when I read your plan to start a family of evil kleptos. That's awesome!

@smurfy77 Swiping a police car has got to be the BEST klepto story ever, LOL!

I think it depends on Mischief skill -- I played a klepto vampire (he'd pick up goodies while stopping in for a midnight snack :D ), and he started out only being able to swipe small decor items, but as his mischief skill grew he could get larger stuff. Hmmm -- maybe I'll play a klepto but I'll give him/her basic furnishings and use the ill-gotten gains to upgrade as needed. (Wonder if kleptos can steal money out of the Get Famous vault?)

Even more fun:

If you have wellness maxed you can teleport in and out of divisions for quicker and more effective swiping.

I started a new klepto in 4 after reading this, and getting the idea from the simmer above, to furnish her apartment with things she has stolen, it's actually coming along , she has stolen a 2 seater couch from the museum in the beach town, paintings and a violin from the one in the city, a computer and chair from each of the libraries so far. It's been easier than I thought, and I'm surprised no one has caught her yet, but she sure keeps having sims express admiration to her, thats funny itself lol.

LOL @smrufy77 - that everyone admires your klepto sim. I'd love to see screenshots of her apartment, if you have them, with all of the stolen furnishings.

One of my sims has the klepto trait and he brings a guitar from work almost everyday - he even stole a piano once. It's weird they can only take certain things though.
