Pickpocketing cooldown should be removed.

Why does pick pocketing have a cool down? It shouldn't.

    Other cool abilities like teleporting or making sims fall asleep with the guitar have no cooldowns. It's weird that pickpocketing has one. Only reason I can think for the cooldown is to prevent us from exploiting it for infinite simoleons, which makes me sad.

    I can see it having a cooldown on particular sims so you couldn't keep picking the same pocket, but I agree that the ability itself shouldn't have a cooldown. I wonder if it's a limitation of the game engine -- that they can't just shut individual sims out of it for a period of time.

    The transformation device doesn't have a cool down and you can use that to make big cash easily. I turned a $30 chair into that $15k violin.

    I was under the assumption that it was to make it more challenging. I don't know for sure.

    Well, when you think about it you should just be able to pick pocket the same person once a day... Once you have their money you have it. But, u should be able to pick pocket other sims.

    That would make more sense to me, but that's not the way it works. Would have actually preferred that.

    I just asked @simgurudaniel on twitter and he said he'd look into the possibility of the cool-down being removed if your sim switches lots.

    Basically the consensus I guess is that other sims will get suspicious if you're able to do it whenever you like.

    Does rummaging through another Sims bins (which I will be doing for my homeless Sim episode) have a cooldown?
  • EmmaVaneEmmaVane Posts: 7,847 Member
    Bin rummaging only works if there is something in the bin. You rummage it, get loot and put rubbish back in. I think you can re-rummage but don't find new loot unless someone has used the bin.

    I think similar about frog breeding. Why are ALL the frogs tired when you only breed 2 at once? Frog 🐸🐸🐸🐸?

    I didn't even know frog breeding is a thing. I'm learning so much reading about other peoples experiences.
