No option to pickpocket.

Ponder the Sim

My sim has no option to pick pocket. The game said she opened up the ability when she leveled up, but the option never shows up.

I saw that it's a career related option, (http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/careers/criminal/) so has she leveled up again? Good chance it will work then. Lately a lot of career reward things seem to be delayed to the next level, mostly clothes, but I can imagine it happens to interactions like this as well.

Thanks for the info. I'll level her up and try again.

It's actually just broken at the moment (has been for a while).

Can't link the AHQ thread atm since they are down for a longer period for an overhaul

I have found the link to the thread on another post.
http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Pickpocket-Option-Not-Appearing/td-p/4632211
It won't be able to be clicked though because of the maintenance.

yeah as i tested before it appears the pickpocketing option is not working and could in fact be turned off following the changes to careers. for example the criminal career no longer requires pick pocketing to level up

Hi guys, I just saw pickpocket today for the first time.



My sim was on her home lot and the option showed up when talking to her roommate.

@Ponder_the_Sim Did it only show up on that room mate or also if you invited someone over to your lot ?

Thank you for posting the screenshot about the pick pocketing option. It was good to see that it has appeared. Were you were able to click it and do the pick pocketing later on?

I am glad that you were able to pickpocket. It will be great to hear your results of your further testing.
