Does anyone know how to get a copy of the original house? I already used the Monotone with my first created sim and the only way to copy the house to Riverview (that I can tell) is to make a copy of the entire household. Not to mention the fact that I've already made lots of changes to the appliances, etc.

I've started my Klepto Kween and she's having a grand time so far! One question, can we sell found items other than gems (such as seeds)? Or is that just too darn honest?

I think you can start a new map and move the stock house into your bin. The bin is the same on all your games, so that should work.

Yeah I think that's right but I never use this house and I've never tried that

I can't seem to do anything with the house. I even moved my sims out and supposedly it sold all of their items, and yet the house still contains all of the upgrades and contents. There just seems to be no way to obtain an unused copy of that house. ARRG. Is there any other house I can use for the challenge, or could someone upload an empty Montone and just share it on the Exchange? This sucks that I can't seem to restore the house to it's original state.

you can find the same house in the house's bin just chose it and put it on an empty lot and rotate it to the right direction

You could also create a new save file... this challenge is easier with a clean game, IMO.

Is mooching money/food allowed??

Meet Kenny Kniver! (sorry about the low quality)



Originally his first name was King Kenny, but he went straight to city hall for a name change when I realized what his initials were.

After he steals the 3 items, he becomes enemies with the household and wreaks general havoc. I considered incorporating pyromania but eventually deciding against it.

This is way more fun than I imagined! I think that best part is decorating my house with the random items.

So can you get caught stealing? If so, what happens?

EDIT: Also can I sell the food I harvest or just eat it?

ANOTHER EDIT : For some reason I can't steal from the Altos and from inside the Wainrights house (I got their car). They were all asleep in their rooms and i tried all night but I couldn't steal anywhere. Anyone know why??

You cannot steal or sell seeds, only jewels!

You can sell or harvest the vegetables you steal :D

And you CAN steal stuff from community lots

Guitar Tips are NOT allowed.

If you hover over the "Swipe Something" button when it is faded out, it will tell you why, usually because either you have swiped 3 items that day, or soemone is watching.

That's okay! I love the fact that so many people are playing a challenge I thought up! My sim is called Ivy Steel (I. Steel - geddit? ) and she is now halfway through being an adult, she has a fair few about of items although hasn't got enough money to extend her house yet!

I still love the fact that whenever I enter another sims house I now see something and think "Ooo, that would look so nice in MY house"

You can sell metal and space rocks, but can't smelt them.

Flanah: No you cannot! That's one of the best, and most annoying bits of the game I love trying to get a flat screen tv and ending up with yet ANOTHER wall lamp. Hurrah, my home is like the aura of jesus.
