How come they don't have thieves in Sims 4 and has there ever been a banking feature in the Sims?

You can give your Sim the kleptomaniac trait, and they can steal.

There are sims with the kleptomaniac trait, and NPCs will swipe things. Heck, they don't even have to have the Kleptomaniac trait. I had a childish one walk off with a doll once.

Now, unless you have Get To Work, there are no cops to do anything about it and even with Get to Work, they don't do anything unless your sim is in the active Detective Career - and then you're the one doing something.

I had a friend of my sim steal random stuff from her house and he's not a klepto either, just mean.

This is what I mean. It's only petty theft and no real consequences for it. I heard that there is a chance your criminal could go to jail for a time but it's rare and random. I hope they make more of a feature of this between crimes and justice.

Just wondering why we have criminals in TS4 but no real interpretation of criminal activities. Will this be added to TS4? Also, has there ever been a banking feature in the Sims? Since we have vaults, why not add a feature in where you can go to the bank or possibly have Sims run a bank.

Maybe that's in development. What do you all think? I'm new to Sims trends btw so perhaps the more experienced can chime in.

As far as I know there has never been a banking system officially in the Sims. There is/was a mod that adds ATMs and banking feature. I don't use mods so I don't know if it's up-to-date or not. I actually built a bank a while back and put the vaults from Get Famous in. Multiple households could store their money in individual vaults. Without mods, that's as close as you can get.

Yes!

Thank you, I was planning on doing this but was not sure if the vaults could be kept if the residential lot.

@bruceleroy98 I played The Sims 2 and 3, and they had burglars (you may have heard of them from the forum if you've only played TS4).
When you called the police on the burglar, they did get arrested. It all went down a rabbit hole except for the police car arriving and an NPC police sim arresting the burglar. I even remember you could prank the police and fire dept. They come, look around then tell you off for wasting time.

I can't remember what lot type I used (I think it was Generic). I only tried it the once to test my bank and it worked then. I tested it with 2 households.

Thank you again. I am not a great builder but I will make something for my sims :)

Game definitely has thieves. I just made a restaurant today and had three paintings on the wall. First day a guy stole one of them, second day a woman stole another. It's really annoying because you can't do anything about it, you can't stop them or call police or get your stuff back. All sims do is that 'see whats happening' action. I had my spellcaster curse the first thief.
Also had a few art thieves in at my retail store.
