The Sims

The Life of Crime career track is one of the ten basic career tracks for The Sims. This job may be available in computers or the newspapers.

Life of Crime Career Levels
1) Pickpocket
Entry-level two-bit thief--but you are your own boss. Dexterity and physical speed are obviously important. A certain amount of charisma is helpful, too, if you are going to charm those marks before you dip into their coats.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	09:00 - 15:00		0
			§140/day
2) Bagman
You're a foot soldier for a small-time mobster--making pickups and deliveries of dirty cash and "sensitive merchandise." You'll need to be quick on your feet to avoid the heat and rival punks. Work on your body skill will definitely pay off.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	23:00 - 07:00		0
			§200/day
3) Bookie
Make book on the dog track, horse races, and stadium games--where, one way or another, "the house" always wins. And this time "the house" is you. You never know when something may go wrong that requires some fast talking so keep those charisma and creativity skills sharp.	0	0	0
	2	0	0
	12:00 - 19:00		0
			§275/day
4) Con Artist
Run schemes, scams, and swindles--anything to separate a naïve Sim from hard-earned cash. Profits increase, but this job needs inspired thinking and the power to persuade others.	0	0	1
	2	0	1
	09:00 - 15:00		2
			§350/day
5) Getaway Driver
From two-bit crook to three-bit crook. To succeed as a driver you'll need some strong physical skills, and a mechanic's knowledge. But you want to get in on the main action, right? Work on your skills to show the boss how indispensable you are.	0	2	2
	2	0	1
	17:00 - 01:00		3
			§425/day
6) Bank Robber
Instead of just driving the money away, now you're inside the Sim City First National Bank when it goes down--which cuts you in for a bigger slice. But you'd like to try your hand at some sneakier, more challenging crimes. Better brains, brawn and buddies will move you up.	0	3	3
	3	1	1
	15:00 - 23:00		4
			§530/day
7) Cat Burglar
Higher scores, but more risk involved. Suddenly you're on the night shift. You cannot afford to let physical energy flag, or you'll botch a job. Mechanical skills are handy to keep your tools in good order and some creative problem solving will help you stay out of the slammer. Your friends are coming in very handy--more can only help.	1	3	3
	5	2	2
	21:00 - 03:00		6
			§640/day
8) Counterfeiter
You're getting more sophisticated. Why steal money when you and your gang can print your own? You're getting quite a reputation and people are seeking your advice. Better practice your charisma and creativity in case you need to go international.	1	5	3
	5	3	4
	09:00 - 15:00		8
			§760/day
9) Smuggler
Your business card says you're in the "Import/Export" business. Let's just say you supply everything people want that the law says they cannot have. You're bringing in and sending out goods by land, sea, and air, and earning the large profits all that implies. Your skills need to be fully honed to reach the apex of this illustrious career.	1	5	6
	6	3	5
	09:00 - 15:00		10
			§900/day
10) Criminal Mastermind
Most men fear you. You run your own mob of thieves and hijackers, and can buy any house on the block. Your front is a respectable Sim City business, and you feel almost above the law.	2	5	7
	6	4	8
	18:00 - 00:00		12
			§1,100/day

If the player has Livin' Large, The Sims Deluxe Edition, or The Sims Complete Collection, a Criminal Mastermind will eventually change careers and become a Security Consultant in the Hacker career track.

The Sims 2

The career reward object is the SensoTwitch Lie Finder. It is awarded at level 4 (Con Artist), and it improves the creativity skill. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Gearheads are likely to work in this career. College Majors associated with this career are Literature and Mathematics.

Adult Chance Cards

For more information on Chance Cards in The Sims 2, see Chance card.

Criminal Chance Cards
1) Pickpocket
<Sim> hits the crowded downtown streets and immerses him/herself in the steady flow of banker types and wealthy socialites, all ripe for the picking. S/he zeroes in on a couple of targets, and the only decision left is whether to go for the tall stockbroker in pinstripes, or the flashy woman with the designer handbag and over-sized sunglasses.	Stockbroker	Success: +§130	15% chance
		Failure: Lose a day's pay (§196)	84% chance
	Socialite	Success: Promoted to Bagman	84% chance
		Failure: No penalty	15% chance
2) Bagman
<Sim>'s "employer" has him delivering an endangered SimCity canary, notoriously difficult to catch in the wild, to a well know private "collector" of rare species. <Sim>'s been given a long list of care instructions and some packets of canary food, as well as a dozen additional deliveries on top of his normal routes. Hours into her/his day, s/he realizes that s/he's been neglecting the canary, and when s/he goes to check on it in the trunk, discovers it lying motionless at the bottom of its cage. Sim's in trouble, and can't possibly admit the truth to the parties involved. Should s/he lie about the circumstances surrounding the bird's death, or head to the wilderness and try to catch a replacement?	Lie	Success: No reward	85% chance
		Failure: -§500	14% chance
	Replace	Success: +§1250	14% chance
		Failure: -§750	85% chance
3) Bookie
A few days ago one of <Sim>'s regulars picked a long shot nag to win and ended up winning herself a couple of grand, but before she could collect, she managed to get herself into some "trouble", which led to the accidental explosion of her car. <Sim> has effectively inherited the money, and if s/he were to pocket the winnings her/himself no one would be the wiser, though s/he could also earn some street rep by splitting the winnings with her/his boss.	Keep	Success: +§2000	85% chance
		Failure: -§1000	14% chance
	Split	Success: +§2000 +1	14% chance
		Failure: -1	85% chance
4) Con Artist
As of late, pickings have been thin in the con-artist racket. The Vice squad has been breathing down <Sim>'s neck, and the consumer affairs committee has launched an aggressive television ad campaign warning would-be victims to the dangers of recent confidence schemes. <Sim> has a few tricks left up her/his sleeve though. A contact has offered him/her some office space that might work well as the pretext for a classic vacation time-share scam (a sure fire way to swindle the elderly out of their retirement funds), or seeing as times are tough, <Sim> could go with the old door-to-door insurance policy scheme.	Time-Share	Success: +§8000 +1	85% chance
		Failure: -§5000	14% chance
	Insurance	Success: Promoted to Getaway Driver	14% chance
		Failure: -2	85% chance
5) Getaway Driver
Speeding down inner-city streets, <Sim>'s on the getaway and heading to the bank job team's rendezvous point. Something went wrong during the heist: <Sim>'s car is occupied with only 3 of the 4 team members s/he'd dropped off before the job, and one of them is injured. Also, they only managed to make it out with 20K in hard currency. Thinking that the cops might be on to them, and therefore onto their escape route, <Sim> decides to change the plan, but isn't sure whether to take the turnpike or head down the narrow section of cobblestone surface streets.	Turnpike	Success: +§5000 +1	85% chance
		Failure: Get Fired	14% chance
	Surface Streets	Success: Promoted to Bank Robber	14% chance
		Failure: Demoted to Con artist -1	85% chance
6) Bank Robber
During the final set-up meeting for the upcoming heist, <Sim> is informed that a member of the team has been taken ill and won't be coming with them, but that the job will go down as planned. New roles are discussed, and some of the more experienced members of the team will be forced to pick up some of the slack, but it's left up to <Sim> whether s/he wants to be a lookout in charge of crowd control or if s/he'd rather help out the demolitions expert with cracking the bank vault.	Look-out	Success: Promoted to Cat Burglar	85% chance
		Failure: -§15,000	14% chance
	Vault	Success: +§10,000	14% chance
		Failure: Get Fired -2	85% chance
7) Cat Burglar
Inside the SimCity Museum of Metropolitan Art, <Sim> is on the hunt for a world famous diamond currently on display, but s/he's hit a bit of a snag . . . laser beams, and close to a dozen of them. <Sim> hates laser beams, but is committed to acquiring the diamond, as s/he has a very eager buyer waiting in the wings. S/he could flex some muscle and go for an acrobatic approach, or s/he could try using the new suction-cup crossbow, recently voted "the preferred tool of Cat Burglars everywhere" by the SimCity local 709 Burglar's Union.	Acrobatics	Success: +§20,000 +1	15% chance
		Failure: -2	84% chance
	Cross-Bow	Success: +§20,000 +2	84% chance
		Failure: Get Fired -§5000	15% chance
8) Counterfeiter
<Sim>'s just finished a run of counterfeit Simoleons printed with a near perfect reproduction of the treasury's updated watermark, but truth be told, <Sim>'s now got so much funny money s/he's not sure what to do with it. S/he could use the cash to grease a few political palms with the hopes of impressing SimCity's Criminal Mastermind, The Llama Queen, or s/he could pull out all the stops and try to launder the Simoleons, and keep them all for her/himself.	Bribe	Success: Promoted to Smuggler	85% chance
		Failure: Demoted to Cat Burglar	14% chance
	Launder	Success: +§50,000	14% chance
		Failure: -§25,000	85% chance
9) Smuggler
<Sim>'s personally handling the sale of a large amount of imported "merchandise", and the deal is going down in a deserted warehouse down by the river. The purchasing party arrives and lays a briefcase down on a low stack of crates. <Sim> places her/his own steel briefcase next to it, but as s/he goes to open them the warehouse is racked by an explosion. The Vice squad has stormed the warehouse, and there is smoke and confusion everywhere. <Sim> could try to make his/her escape in the waiting speedboat, or hit the deck and sneak around to the front entrance under cover of darkness.	Speedboat	Success: +§50,000	50% chance
		Failure: Get Fired -1	49% chance
	Sneak Out	Success: +§55,000	49% chance
		Failure: Get Fired	50% chance
10) Criminal Mastermind
There's a new superhero in town, and she's been giving <Sim>'s henchmen a difficult time. <Sim> could attempt to capture the superhero and place her in an elaborate mechanism that when left to its own devices would invariably cause her slow and complex demise, or s/he could focus her/his attention on the "Doomsday Device" s/he's building, with the hopes of completing it and following through with his/her plans to hold SimCity for ransom.	Capture	Success: +§55,000	50% chance
		Failure: -§20,000	49% chance
	Doomsday	Success: +§65,000	49% chance
		Failure: -§30,000	50% chance

The Sims 3

Criminal is one of the basic career tracks in The Sims 3. Sims can be employed from the newspaper, computer, or abandoned warehouse. Sims work at a syndicate named "The Organization," as stated in the descriptions. It has two branches, which are Thief and Evil. Evil branch requires the Sims to build good relationship with their boss, while Thief branch requires Sims to build relationship with their accomplices, and they can sneak their neighbors and rob their house.

Occasionally, Sims will go home and bring back a "borrowed" item from work. Sims who reach the top of Thief branch will get The Fox statue which will give "I am the Greatest" moodlet, while the top of Evil branch will give a red aura. Good, Friendly, and Family-Oriented Sims will boo, Cowards, Losers, Neurotic, and Over-Emotional Sims will run away, while Evil, Mean Spirited, and Insane Sims and other Sims who work in Criminal career will get a boost relationship with the Sim. Sims who work in this career will not get robbed by burglars.

• Work Hard - Increases performance faster but adds stress
• Take It Easy - Increases fun but lowers performance
• Meet Accomplices - Meets new coworkers

Glitches

A Sim with red glow

• There is a bug in Sunset Valley that makes Sims unable to enter the Outstanding Citizen Warehouse Corp. as police or even as a criminal to go to work. This can be fixed by deleting everything on the lot (including the building), and placing a new Outstanding Citizen Warehouse Corp. building on the lot.
• The arrested Sim can get out of jail when his bladder is low. The Sim in question will walk out of the jail and wet himself. But he won't go back in^{[confirmation needed]}.
• The arrested Sim can also get out of jail if someone calls him before he enters. The call will override the go to jail action and even if the Sim rejects the call, he won't go to jail.
• There is a glitch on the level 3 Thug rank, in which a PC sim is required to go to work on Wednesday at 9pm on the 2nd week and thereafter even though they are not scheduled to work on that day. The PC sim will not get a notice to go to work until work has started. The player can also go down in performance and get demoted if they do not go to work on that day. In addition, the player will not go up in performance if they do go to work.
• At times, if the NPC boss is not at work or comes late to work, the PC sim will not get an increase in performance until the NPC boss comes to work. The PC sims will be stuck on the "Going to Work" status until the NPC boss arrives. To make matter worse, the PC sim will not go up in performance and can still go down in performance if they leave work early. Certain events will not transpire nor rewards received until the NPC boss comes to work.
• Another glitch is from level 4 Getaway Driver upwards when sim goes to work (starts at 9pm), increase of job performance does not start and the working status stays as "Going to Work" until 12 midnight. Leaving work and going back does not make any difference.
