Title: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: Doc Doofus on 2009 August 16, 01:12:51 I had a sim-baby born last night with the Burglar trait. Googling around for this brings up conflicting information about what this trait can actually do. Some have said that it only gives the adult "Burglar" trait sim the ability to sneak anywhere, but that's it.
Is that good for anything? Can they swipe objects? If not, then what good is it except maybe for story-making filming purposes? Is it a waste of a good trait? For background: the baby is the grandchild of a maid NPC with the Klepto trait who became a thief. Her daughter, the mother of the baby is a level 3 thief, but has no special traits and does not have Klepto. Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: PrinJess on 2009 August 16, 01:55:49 I hear they can sneak into houses at night past 12:00. But I'm not sure if they will do "rabbit hole" thievery or what when they sneak.

Post by: edalbformat on 2009 August 16, 08:45:00 I believe that no matter if the mentioned "sneak after midnight" is true, it will be a waste of a good trait, because you will have to wait until the sim is minimum YA to have any kind of eventual advantage. Before this age they will be simply limited by a Curfew.
So far, burglars are not playable. So your sim will have a trait that makes it to NPC anyway. Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2009 August 16, 13:38:16 Answer: It does nothing except enable the ability to Sneak.

Well... The last two have a few more Actions but It's not "Highly" useful. Woo, Extreme/Evil everything. That gets old fast. Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: aspinL on 2009 August 18, 01:43:15 I agree. At first reading a "dastardly book" was quite amusing but later, it was more of a "just read a freakin book".
However I do like the "never nude". In my opinion it's kinda cool when they take baths and showers in their swimsuits, however truly unuseful it may be. The only good thing about Evil is "taking candy from a baby"... ha, love that. 8) Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: edalbformat on 2009 August 18, 07:56:20 Aha! Never nude takes bath in swimmsuit? Good, I always wished to place a bathtub in the garden. It will be kind of useful.
Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: aspinL on 2009 August 20, 20:47:18 A bathtub in the garden? I can see where the never nude trait comes in handy. You wouldn't want poor Mrs. Crumplebottom to walk by and have a heart attack, not that, that can happen.
Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: Dire Weasel on 2009 August 25, 21:46:08 Hmm... I wonder if it is possible to give all sims with the Burglar trait the ability to swipe somthing, without the wants to return objects (your a freaking burglar, why would you want to give somthing back?) and ability to steal more in a night. I know nothing about modding, though.
Title: Re: Is the "Burglar" Trait good for anything? Post by: chaos on 2009 August 26, 03:10:27 There are already mods like that, which are XML tunings. I believe there's one at MTS.
