The '''Unsavory Charlatan''' ({{IPAc-en|ʌ|n|ˈ|s|eɪ|v|ə|r|i|_|ˈ|ʃ|ɑr|l|ə|t|n}}) is an [[NPC]] included with ''[[Bon Voyage]]''. He appears
He can pick the pockets of virtually any Sim, including [[townie]]s and other unplayable Sims. Players should be wary when he is around, as he may attempt to greet their Sims, and may make off with their money. Players should also pay close attention to any Sims wearing a top hat and monocle because that might be him, especially because his outfit changes with the theme of the vacation lot he's in (e.g. in [[Twikkii Island]] he wears tropical garbs). Sims with low logic skill levels will be more liable to his tricks, while Sims with higher logic might be able to ward off his plan. After he picks the pocket of a Sim, he may appear on the residential lot and any vacation homes that they own. His most common victim is the Tour Guide.
The Unsavory Charlatan seems to be in love with [[Mrs. Crumplebottom]], and will attempt to serenade her if she is on the lot, to no avail. While he is serenading,
On community lots, Sims cannot talk or interact with the Charlatan in any of the usual ways (strangely, when present on a University lot he shows up as an option for a student to "Ask for Tutoring," but the action does not actually work when selected). On Vacation lots, he can be asked for advice

▲The Unsavory Charlatan seems to be in love with [[Mrs. Crumplebottom]], and will attempt to serenade her if she is on the lot, to no avail. While he is serenading, the Sim has a good chance of getting away from them both.
▲On community lots, Sims cannot talk or interact with the Charlatan in any of the usual ways (strangely, when present on a University lot he shows up as an option for a student to "Ask for Tutoring," but the action does not actually work when selected). On Vacation lots, he can be asked for advice on the Island. If a Sim finds out he has stolen money from them, they can be told to fight him by clicking on him and selecting "Fisticuffs!". However, if he wins, another §150 is stolen. Having a high body skill greatly reduces the chance of this happening and increases the chance of reclaiming the stolen money. His most common victim is the Tourist Guide.
▲The Unsavory Charlatan also plays poker and he always wins, because he always gets a poker hand of '''[[wikipedia:List of poker hands#Royal flush|Royal flush]]'''. He also plays [[pool table|pool]] and mahjong, meaning that he has distractions that may allow players to escape him, but unlike Mrs. Crumplebottom, who can remain distracted indefinitely, he is less likely to get distracted.
The Unsavory Charlatan is voiced by [[voice]] actor Stephen Kearin.{{fact}} His hat, monocle and outfit is available in [[Create-A-Sim]] debug mode. The Charlatan is generated once his NPC purpose is needed, unlike most other NPCs that exist before the start of the game.
