Sims 3 - Easy money tip for beginners

I know if they are in the criminal career, when they reach a certain level you can be at someones house and random click around the other sims house and the option will come up to "take something".  I have not had many klepto's, so I may be wrong.  I do know that the klepto will steal things from work, LOL.  My sim had stuff in the family inventory and I
moused over it and it said "stole from hospital lounge", something along those lines. I found it pretty amusing.

I can't take anything from people's houses, but just clicked him to go to the beach and clicked go here and swipe something came up.

Your klepto Sim can only steal/swipe things after 7 pm in the evening.  Not sure as to what time it ends, but do know that it starts at 7 pm.

[Saltypaws]

Ah, thanks Wildred, wasn't sure about the time, like I said, I have never really played one, but knew I had seen the "swipe something" somewhere.

There's also a bit of information on the Guide about the Kleptomaniac trait.

[LlamaMama]

Haha! I just remembered that my inventor married his maid/klepto. I've never seen her swipe anything so I forget. However, she is a stylist now, going to people's homes and she keeps asking if she can go inside. I thought that was part of the stylist schtick, but now I realize she wants inside to swipe stuff.

Wow, stylist/klepto has great potential for numerous friends and access for kleptos!

I am going to go see if I can steal from the French Museum, I wonder if I can steal that sarcophagus from the Art Gallery...  

EDIT:

I could not steal from the French Alexis Relics or the Art Gallery, I tried from 7pm to 1 am but the option never came up inside the venues, so I guess this has been fixed?

[Carl]

Yeah, it makes sense they'd fix that. After all, Sims can replace stuff but there's no museum curator that spends money to replace lost items from the art gallery and places like that.

[The Illuminator]

You can if you own the place...

[Saltypaws]

This is true, sort of defeating the purpose, LOL.
