Museums & Archeology Update, Burglars & Security Systems

Here is how I would update and enhance one of our more useless lots.
- Museum Sub Categories
- Archeological Museum - This could also have a sub-category that ties into Archeological types
- Art Museum
- Maritime & Aquarium - Perhaps in combination with large aquarium tanks and big boats. Maybe we can get the Ghost Pirate back along with Seas Shanties (Pictured the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London UK) my favorite external architecture for this type
Touch Tank
- Natural History Museum
- Science & Technology Museum

Archeology Update - Branches - This skill and Career should get a bit of an update to freshen it and make each category exclusive to a geographic area in order to give it a bit more legs.- Archeology of the Americas - North & South, would work well with Jungle Adventure
- Classical - Greece & Rome
- Egyptology - Egypt
- Medieval - Post Rome Europe - Would be good for Cottage Living
- Polynesian - Island Living
- Sinology - China
New NPC- Curator - Give Tours, Accepts Donations, Schmoozing Potential Patrons
- Security Guard - Walks around watching the place occasionally has to stop a crazy person attacking the art or potential robberies
Museum as a Potential Work Place- Artist Sims can get a job at the museum to do Art Restorations
- Archeologist Sims can work at the Archeological Museum studying artifacts, Carbon Dating etc.
Museums as a place to Improve skills- A place to take classes for or learn about various art forms
Museums as a Multi-function lot- Could be a way to introduce the Gift Shop and Cafe
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
- Burglars get the Lock Picking Skill
- Burglars can get the Pickpocket Skill
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)
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
- Archeological Museum - This could also have a sub-category that ties into Archeological types

Kind of what I'm going for with the different categories of Archaeology.
Absolutely- wonderful ideas and post- I feel the museums need so much improvement as well.
That's a nice idea. It would be rather clever
