Rank 1 Abilities
Ferocity – Intimidate other Sims for fun and profit! "Unlocking the ability to use Ferocious Intimidation on others, This Sim can now bear their fangs and send Sims fleeing in terror! With any luck, they'll drop their wallet too. If being a bit beastly is wrong, this Sim doesn't want to be right."

Personal Grooming – Lick away the dirt! "Is this Sim dirty? Just have them lick themselves clean. Why re-invent the wheel when the answer was inside us all along. Social appropriateness of using Groom may vary."

Rank 2 Abilities
Voracious Hunger – Devour objects to satisfy hunger. "Feeling hungry? With this ability this Sim will be able to eat almost anything. That new couch? Dinner. That priceless heirloom? Delicious. Is this a good idea? Who's to say. Will curiosity get the better of them? Undoubtedly."
