Kleptomaniac

Kleptomaniac is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 3.

''Kleptomaniacs 'accidentally' end up with things owned by others. They often 'permanently borrow' items from work, school or even their neighbor's homes!''

Attributes

 * Throughout life, this Sim will be prone to swipe others' things. It's genetic!
 * Sim can return stolen objects to their rightful owners via the mailbox, resulting in a positive 'Returned Stolen Object' moodlet.
 * Provides a bonus to Sims writing in the Auto-Biography genre.

Player Notes

 * You can click the Swipe Items interaction close to something and your Sim might steal the intended object.
 * Kleptomaniacs can only swipe three items per day.
 * Kleptomaniacs can swipe items from community lots only if these items are outside. I.e. the kleptomaniac should be able to swipe a car parked at the stadium but won't be able to swipe paintings from the art gallery.
 * If a Sim is caught swiping an object, they will be kicked out immediately and the relationship with the sim who caught the kleptomaniac will go down.
 * Sim can swipe items between 7pm and 6am.
 * The maximum amount of the item a kleptomaniac is able to swipe is determined by this formula: Career level X 350.
 * Sim can swipe any movable object, no matter how big. However, there are some items that a kleptomaniac won't be able to swipe (see list below).

Other notes

 * Always click very close to the object you want to rob, because sometimes, if you click in the general area of the expensive car you want to sell to make money, the kleptomaniac sim will instead rob the cheap lamp that was  directly underneath the spot you clicked on , wasting one of the three opportunities.
 * If a sim should should take a guitar out of thier inventory and drop it on someone elses lot (Through a serenade perhaps), it does not appear to be recoverable through dragging and dropping or kleptomania. (Probably needs verification)
 * Because you can swipe three objects per day, you can swipe three objects after 7pm but before 12pm and then swipe three more after 12pm but before 6am.

Possible Lifetime Wishes

 * Become a Master Thief
 * Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law
