- Just be careful what you swipe. Take something from a common area and you can't replace it apparantly.
- I wondered why I could only swipe lamps. I never made another klepto because I thought the trait was useless. Mischief, heh? I have to try that again.
- I wonder if that only applies to a Sim that you are playing? The reason I ask is because I saw a game-generated townie kid swipe two things off of counters in a diner - not one right after the other but about a Sim hour apart. The diner was "Goldie's Griddle" created by Jenba. I had to look at the pictures of the diner that she posted on her Tumblr to see what the little rat took.
I also wonder how big an item can be for a kleptomaniac to steal it. The reason I ask that question is because the other night I was testing a large park on the Twin Oracle lot in Newcrest. It had three fountains of various sizes. The smallest fountain was by some harvestable trees and plants, a medium sized fountain was by some chess tables and a huge fountain was at the entrance of the park. When my Sim arrived at the park I checked the plants, looked at the spacing of chess tables, checked the placement of lights and easels - everything was fine. As the Sim was getting ready to leave a few hours later, I noticed that the smallest fountain was gone. I think somebody stole it.
Needless to say I am deleting any Sim that the game spawns with the Kleptomaniac trait. - I had a klepto repair man, he came to repair the kitchen sink and left with the coffee machine. Guess he didn't think my sims were paying him enough :D
- i have yet to try that trait for sims 4.
kinda iffy bout it though that that i know public items arent replaced :/ - Downside to trait, they stay in a bad mood if they don't swipe. Make sure no one is in the room when they do, getting caught is also a pain all day. And if the room is not empty make sure to cancel their autonomous action to do it on their own which can pop up at anytime whether they have swiped already or not. Then there is the guilt..moodlet...

Swipe the most expensive thing lol >:)
Shoot that'll be a TV but I can't even swipe that!! Lol- As soon as the 3 hour energized moodlet wears off, you can start swiping again! :naughty: Also, the higher their mischief skill, the pricier things they can steal. I like to pick a sim's house and only steal from there (especially if the sim was mean to me).They also steal at work (a lot of dirty dishes for some reason), and this doesn't count towards the energized klepto moodlet.
Also, sims will get a tense moodlet if they haven't swiped in a while. Stealing from work doesn't alleviate the moodlet. "PrincessSimcess;15563904" wrote:

the moodlet has different lengths depending on the value of the swiped item. i think its 8 hours for really expensive stuff."kokoro80;15557979" wrote:

I've had this happen to lol
I love the klepto trait, But I didn't know about the getting better at the mischief skill, I'm going to have to play that again.
In one save I took my sims to a restaurant and while they were eating a child sim went into the kitchen and stole the huge storage shelves. I was happy shocked.
