It&#8217;s because we couldn&#8217;t be trusted with them back in The Sims 3. As the only game that I didn&#8217;t play while it was the flagship for the series, I&#8217;ve been slowly rediscovering The Sims 3 for the past couple years. One thing I&#8217;d have not clocked on my own, which has come to my attention while perusing 11-year-old lets play videos, is that The Sims 3 lets you swipe entire cars from other Sims and make money selling them.<\/p>\n<p>It all comes down to kleptomania, a trait whose mere presence in any game makes it a must have. Why wouldn&#8217;t I want my sim to randomly filch from friends? In The Sims 3, the kleptomania trait gives you the ability to &#8220;swipe something&#8221; while visiting another house or out around town after dark.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no shame in pilfering from the bathroom while attending a party, but if you&#8217;re really feeling bold you can shove an entire Sloppy Jalopy in your pocket. It&#8217;s not even hard. As long as there are no witnesses around\u2014and there usually aren&#8217;t past 7 pm\u2014your sim can stand near an unattended vehicle and the &#8220;swipe something&#8221; interaction will usually pick it up at the nearest rehomeable object.<\/p>\n<p>Stolen items go into the household inventory that you can access from Build\/Buy mode, meaning you can either plop down the new ride in your own driveway or just choose to sell it. I netted 870 simoleons for my first jalopy theft, which is about a whole week of work for my bottom of the ladder professional criminal.<\/p>\n<p>You can get chucked in jail in the Sims 3 as well, be warned. Though I can&#8217;t quite tell if that was a result of me hijacking rides or simply being in the actual criminal career track. Either way, the officers gave back my entire inventory, even the toilet roll I&#8217;d stolen from someone&#8217;s home, after I served my afternoon of time. So I&#8217;ve only become more emboldened.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m determined to turn snagging cars into my full side-hustle. I&#8217;ve been sneaking around the neighborhood late at night looking for houses that don&#8217;t have their cars locked up in garages. I&#8217;ve loitered outside the 28 Hour Gym, an outing that netted me two different cars. My second score, the Yoshomoto Evasion, sells for a cool 1,401 simoleons. That&#8217;s a big paycheck for a single night.<\/p>\n<p>Turnabout&#8217;s fair play though, because on the way home from my nighttime excursion at the gym a thief broke into my house and swiped my entire toilet. I rushed home, hoping to burst in on the thief and either tell him off or demand some damn solidarity. Apparently I&#8217;m not allowed to interact with a robbing in progress, but we did manage to find some unexpected common ground.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"uMRajq5xM2NYisD2PWwv6D\" name=\"love in all the wrong places\" alt=\"The Sims 3, a sim and a burglar are attracted to each other.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/i-just-found-out-you-can-become-a-car-thief-in-the-sims-3-and-somehow-it-led-to-love-at-first-sight-with-the-man-who-burgled-my-home.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Maxis, Electronic Arts)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I barged in on him attempting to steal another appliance from my kitchen I got hit with the &#8220;attractive company&#8221; moodlet meaning my sim and the thief share an attraction for one another and a popup saying that he&#8217;d like to get to know me better. That&#8217;s the stupid sandbox stuff I live for, so I guess I&#8217;m going to give him a call in the morning. But I stole two cars tonight and he stole a toilet, so I know who&#8217;s the provider in this relationship.<\/p>\n<p>So it turns out that crime really pays in The Sims 3, and sometimes you can even get a date out of it.<\/p>\n<p>There is a kleptomaniac trait in The Sims 4 as well, I should note. It&#8217;s fun in its own way for sure, but my brief experience attempting to become a thief in The Sims 3 just reminds me how the earlier parts of the series were such silly sandbox simulations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2d45b5ed-451d-4f85-9c79-99021786db2a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension48=\"Sims 4 cheats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:925px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"3zwgWkHLua8YwofMAvDAhS\" name=\"sims-4-bella-goth-rich.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/i-just-found-out-you-can-become-a-car-thief-in-the-sims-3-and-somehow-it-led-to-love-at-first-sight-with-the-man-who-burgled-my-home-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"925\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-sims-4-cheats-remove-death-bestow-wealth-and-make-your-sims-as-happy-as-larry\/\" data-dimension112=\"2d45b5ed-451d-4f85-9c79-99021786db2a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension48=\"Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension25=\"\">Sims 4 cheats<\/a>: Life hacks<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/sims-3-cheats\/\">Sims 3 cheats<\/a>: Classic hacks<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-sims-4-mods\/\">Sims 4 mods<\/a>: Play your way<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sims-4-cc-maxis-match-custom-content\/\">Sims 4 CC<\/a>: Custom content<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sims-5-project-rene-multiplayer-gameplay-features\/\">Project Rene<\/a>: What we know<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-sims-4-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sims 4 challenges<\/a>: New rules<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/i-just-found-out-you-can-become-a-car-thief-in-the-sims-3-and-somehow-it-led-to-love-at-first-sight-with-the-man-who-burgled-my-home\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve finally found out why there still aren&#8217;t cars in The Sims 4.
