STRATEGY:
1 -- Buy the cheapest lot ($1500) and did not buy anything else.
2 -- Since there is a stealing moodlet (8 hours for the expensive stuff), I took care of all needs in between waiting for the moodlet to falls off.
3 -- Bladder Bar = use townie's toilet or public toilet.
Fun Bar = watch TV or play computer in townie's house.
Hunger Bar = eat quick meal (free) in townie's house, mainly cereal for me.
Social Bar = chat with anybody.
Hygiene Bar = take shower in gym or wash hands repeatedly in townie's house.
Energy Bar = take naps in townie's house sofa or public places (like gym).
4 -- Did not even pay bills when they arrive. Doesn't matter if the electric and water company shuts off my power and water.
5 -- I chose to level mischief skill and steal at the same time in Pancakes house. Steal something, level mischief using socials while waiting for moodlet to falls off.
6 -- After I reached level 8, can relax. All the expensive stuff that can be stolen only needs mischief 8. While waiting for the 8 hours moodlet to fall off, take care of sim needs and plan my next steal.
7 -- If you need to steal in public place (like library and museum), do it at night. Usually won't have anyone around.
8 -- If you need to steal in nightclubs and bar, do it early morning. You will still have one customer and one mixologist around, use "call over" to get them out of the bar, then swoop in to steal the stuff.
9 -- While stealing in townie house, you can use "call over" interaction or use the map interaction to get rid of the people in the room (that you want to steal from). Make sure you introduce yourself to everyone in the house, then when stealing time comes and someone is there, use map and travel to a lot (usually park for me) with them. Then travel back to the house while leaving them at the park (without them). Make sure you leave at least one person in the house, or you won't be able to get invited back in.
10 -- I memorize what is expensive and learn to recognize them in game. Visit every house and scan the entire house for valuables, make sure you have walls up so you can see paintings too. There are lots of paintings, learn to recognize which one is valuable. As for TV, learn to recognize which TVs are the expensive ones. Computers, learn to recognize the $10000 and $4000 ones. If you have trouble memorizing, use print screen (in buy mode) and save the images on your desktop. So while playing the challenge, if you are unsure if the item is worth stealing, alt tab to your desktop to see the image and compare it in game.
