How come they don't have thieves in Sims 4 and has there ever been a banking feature in the Sims?

Just wondering why we have criminals in TS4 but no real interpretation of criminal activities. Will this be added to TS4? Also, has there ever been a banking feature in the Sims? Since we have vaults, why not add a feature in where you can go to the bank or possibly have Sims run a bank.
Maybe that's in development. What do you all think? I'm new to Sims trends btw so perhaps the more experienced can chime in.

Now, unless you have Get To Work, there are no cops to do anything about it and even with Get to Work, they don't do anything unless your sim is in the active Detective Career - and then you're the one doing something.
I had a friend of my sim steal random stuff from her house and he's not a klepto either, just mean.
This is what I mean. It's only petty theft and no real consequences for it. I heard that there is a chance your criminal could go to jail for a time but it's rare and random. I hope they make more of a feature of this between crimes and justice.
As far as I know there has never been a banking system officially in the Sims. There is/was a mod that adds ATMs and banking feature. I don't use mods so I don't know if it's up-to-date or not. I actually built a bank a while back and put the vaults from Get Famous in. Multiple households could store their money in individual vaults. Without mods, that's as close as you can get.
Yes!
Thank you, I was planning on doing this but was not sure if the vaults could be kept if the residential lot.
When you called the police on the burglar, they did get arrested. It all went down a rabbit hole except for the police car arriving and an NPC police sim arresting the burglar. I even remember you could prank the police and fire dept. They come, look around then tell you off for wasting time.
I can't remember what lot type I used (I think it was Generic). I only tried it the once to test my bank and it worked then. I tested it with 2 households.
Thank you again. I am not a great builder but I will make something for my sims
Also had a few art thieves in at my retail store.
It would be great if they add a job where sims could work at a bank or where sims with certain traits could shuffle some money around there.
Criminals not being in TS4 after more than 5 years is just.. one.. big.. joke!
That's not the same thing.

Perhaps they will be out of jail in time for TS5
.
Lets make this a reality!
That is due to the kleptomaniac trait. It is a start at least. I have a famous spellcaster and one her stans just walked in and stole the cat box of all things. I wished we had police though.

I suffer from anxiety. I would have no problem with them being in game. I found them annoying in the Sims 2 because the Sim couldn't go back to sleep again but other than that they have a criminal career track this only makes sense.
That jail Is overflowing with all of the things that make the game interesting 🤣 hopefully they’re all planning a jailbreak for TS5
I'd actually like a playable real estate agent and I'm sure I would work that into my game.
More investment, wills, inheritance, etc, could add more complexity (and sometimes drama) to the game.
As for criminals, I mean, if the old school burglar and alarm system returned, I could deal with that. I have less interest in actively playing those characters but along with the professions I listed above, I can see how they could make for an interesting game when combined with the cops from GTW.
I've played with a few cops. I made one playable because he was such a nice guy who kept getting turned down for dates from my other cop, so I wanted to see what would happen to him. I made one of the criminals playable and gave her a sister who married that cop. They then adopted the criminal sister's son. So, it made things a bit more interesting. One of the sisters is good and the other is a troublemaker.
Why? What's the point. - We don't need burglars in this day and age - too many picture taking cell phones and ADT. Not a good career choice in many states nowadays.... Homeowners should be able to protect their property. Our Sims just need the ability to do so in the game.
