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.
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.
Dissatisfied with Sims 4 and hoping for a better Sims 5

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.
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 🐸🐸🐸🐸?
