I think they should replace the criminal career with allowing criminal activities at other jobs.
And your sim would have to watch out about getting caught which could cost them their job, put them in jail, force them to repay the stolen money, etc.
What criminal activities they could do would depend on the job.
Politics especially could let them be filthy rich and utterly corrupt if not caught. And in the sims world it should have more risk than in real life.
But most jobs could allow your sim to embezzle money in various ways.
But if they take money meant for the quality of the products they make, it could result in angry customers when they find out.
And in the laboratory career a sim could turn other sims into test subjects.
A police officer could also accept bribes when offered to let a criminal get away.
In addition to this, sims could also commit various crimes when controlled by you such as burglary. And all have a risk of being caught. Sims who see it might call the police and off duty cops would respond too.
