Question: Do unplayed sims steal from open vaults on their own?

I don't think unplayed sims do anything at all unless they are on the same screen as the played sim.

I don't think that's true as I have other unplayed households that somehow progressed in their career several levels. One actually reached Level 10 Musician and I created the household prior to the story mode create-a-sim. It's really strange. I wish there was a Sims 4 guide that explained these ins and outs.
