Kleptomaniac Trait

I had a sim with this trait, I remade him from a ts3 favorite. All he did was being tense all the time from not stealing, or embarrassed from failed stealing. He would steal huge decor stuff like the sign outside the gym in oasis spring, thus ruining the decor of many community lots. Everyday after work (athlete career) he'd either come back with a stack of dirty dishes or a boxing equipment. I quickly got tired of this and gave him another trait.

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.

the moodlet has different lengths depending on the value of the swiped item. i think its 8 hours for really expensive stuff.

Oh, I didn't know that! I'll have to start swiping more, haha. Sometimes I'll just have my sim steal every painting from the art gallery.

is there a time to steal or a mood? how do i get my sim to steal he cant klick anything to steal

I recently learned something new. If you click on a stolen object there is an option to have the stolen good returned.

No I have my sim go at night because she's a vampire. Apparently if your mischief skill is low there's certain things you can only steal at first. And there's a cool down period between your swipes.

Last I had this trait, it was broken like almost everything else in TS4. Whenever my sim swiped something, the object never showed in the household inventory.

Yeah I just started playing around with this trait and had the same problem. A couple of items swiped from a community lot did show up in household inventory, but items swiped from a neighbor's house didn't. I read about this and confirmed it - I switched to playing my neighbor's house and the swiped items showed up in my neighbor's household inventory. :/ Kinda ruined the story I was planning...

This is great, good for any druggie character

My klepto sim is leader of entertaining club that gathers at any museum and one of activies is to swipe.
