I had this as apart of my Museum Update suggestions but since the discussion turned to Burglars

Burglars

When I think of Museums I think of all the movies I have seen with people planning an art or artifact heist. There is really a lot of potential with reintroducing Burglars back into the Sims.

As a reminder it doesn't have to be either or with burglars it can be both.

Burglar as a random lot occurrence. Residential or Commercial
Burglar as a standard or active career

Burglar as random lot occurrence - Can happen at retail ons too

Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in, no alarm, steals some things and gets away
Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, attempts to break in but the locks foil them, they leave
Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in but the security system goes off, cops show up and they attempt to apprehend - outcome dependent upon relative fitness
Burglar shows up in the middle of the night, breaks in, homeowner confronts and fights them - outcome dependent upon the relative fitness
Burglar gets arrested and a household member frees them from the police car.
Police show up in a squad car
Choosing to be a burglar/criminal career would be somewhat like choosing to be a Vampire or Werewolf where the skill set is determined by a list of choosable skills/traits. For Example
- Burglars get the Lock Picking Skill
- Burglars can get the Pickpocket Skill
- Burglars can have the ability to climb fences or avoid lasers

Those that can Fight or Foil Burglars

Bonehilda scares the Burglar
Butler fights the Burglar
Detectives can catch crooks
Dog scare off the Burglar. Can have them guard the house
Ghosts can scare off the Burglar
Servos chase the Burglar
Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. Chance to make the burglar their minion.
Werewolves fight the Burglar - They always win

Burglar as a career or active career

Casino Heists
Corporate Espionage
Burglary of Mansion lots
Museum break in and theft (Art, Artifact, Famous Jewel)
Retail Stores

Security Systems

Simple Panel for Residential or Retail Lots
Grander security for higher stakes heists. Some of this would be cool for espionage
- Lasers
- Motion sensors
- Security Desks with monitors
- Cameras

New Lot Traits

No Crime
Low Crime
High Crime

New Lots that Pertain to Crime

Criminal Hideout
Police Station

I'm pretty sure we will be getting the gem cutter, similar to what we had in TS3 Supernatural. I'm personally looking forward to a jewelry pack. I like some of the photos you shared of the store, but I doubt we would get another owned business type. You could probably open a jewelry store mixing the anticipated pack with Get to Work. There might be some CC out there, or there are creative ways to build displays!

I'm looking for pieces to make the store for folks who own GTW

crocobaura · January 18

I would love some big beautiful Mexican silver jewelry pieces like these.

Also, some big biker type rings.

Some old silver spoons and forks jewelry might be fun too.

Also, some with colourful stones.

Briana2425 · February 3

I would love a jewelry making stuff pack to keep and to sell also like imagine a sim make a ring and propose to another with the ring they made that is romantic and creative also my sims going be decked out with gold, silver, diamond, platinum, gems.

ChampandGirlie · February 3

I'm actually looking forward to this because I could see using it a lot. It's also something for the wealthy sims. My other thought was that they might patch in burglars somehow because they sort of go along with this. Some players are looking for that type of chaos more than I am but I could see having a few villains or two who would get up to hijinks. Mostly I'd just want this for the normal reasons but that's another type of gameplay. If added, those evil sims would partake.

JAL · February 3

I doubt we'll get the full jewelry display counters as there won't be a new business included, but I hope for some jewelry display objects that we can use with the GTW items to create jewelry stores. It's something that is severely missing in game at the moment. I'd also like to be able to create jewelry with the gems we find in nature to make sure of those collectables other than just keeping them on a desk.

PandoraTO · February 3

I hope we get burglars. Who else is going to break into the jewelry stores?

Ararine · February 4

Create jewelry from gem/ore you dig

I like your thinking

question i remain neutral on the subject of buglars but what do you find so intressting of having them in game? the only way i would not mind buglars is if they include toggles to turn them off in game

For me, it’s TS1 nostalgia. I remember feeling so shocked whenever I heard that burglar music. It meant whatever plans I had were about to be upended. It’s fun when the unexpected happens. I wish it would happen more in TS4.

I agree about the unexpected nature of the burglars. I would really enjoy them getting the Vampire/Werewolf treatment where they have all these particular skills to choose from like lock picking or something more scammy. Also more advanced security systems for to try and circumvent for places like the jewelry store and museums.

Looks like the next SP is focused on jewelry!

If they add an advanced security system, maybe they could also add a sort of iconic big boss burglar that could target these advanced systems. Like Greg, but for burglars.

To me it's about the suspense of the game the game has been sunshine and rainbows for so long we need suspense in the game we can have the old play style like in Sims 1,2 and 3 where the burglar usually robbed you at night when Sims would sleep however I would like for a burglar to rob your sim when they are away from home they get an alert and they'll have time to get home call the police and the police will catch the burglar or like the jewelry store Burglars will might have to be a little more crafty and pick pocket or snatch items. I would like to request a toggle because I know a lot of people play style is not the same.

ChampandGirlie · February 5

It's a type of gameplay in the same way that vampires and werewolves are. Those were traditionally negative concepts but can be played in a light and fun way. Likewise, you can make Evergreen Harbor a polluted trash world full of dumpster diving and you can even vote for "sharing is caring". (I like cleaning mine up and I don't play with that but you can). There are also many stories and films of that type both classic and modern. It's a type of fiction.

For myself, I like having different characters with various things to do and different types of gameplay. I have to say that I don't love the idea of random break-ins but I'd want to be able to call the police on them. Some players definitely would. There are sims in the game with careers as criminals who have the evil trait so it goes along with them. I do agree that it adds the potential for interesting stories or challenges just like playing a lot challenge does or following a scenario or legacy contest does. It's not my hill to die on at all. It just seems like these would go together.

RoseyaSimi4 · February 6

That is an elegant idea. I've been thinking something similar for clock making. So Sims can make clocks and get a choice of pocket watches, at least one could be is gadget device. These do have the same reason to be an added.

LeucosiaX · February 6

The english simmer had a cute video with new custom content she found and there was an excellent mod of Romantic Gifts. It was so cute they gifted each other fine jewelry and a Rolex. I hope it's a feature. Also so retro shaped ram style hoop earrings which recently made a come back in fashion, and I really hope thats a new create a sim accessory.

I also really want jewelry in the fashion shops from get to work. I always set up a corner but would be nice if you can make your own fine jewelry store or sell it to a boutique.

The collectable jewels we have should be put towards that too.

Update I've been wishing for, the sim wears engagements and weddings rings exchanged. I thought it was an in game feature but I never seen it work.

redrogue60 · February 17

I think being able to exchange rings would be lovely if even in a cut scene like in Sims 2. I'd like to give jewelry like an inheritance as well.
