Time to begin day two of my Klepto King adventure! Sneaky Pete is raring to go. He's even more excited than yesterday, because he's hungry, too. Hopefully this new household will have some good snacks.

Pete rings the doorbell and waits to be let in. Eventually, a kindly old woman answers the door.

Spoiler: click to toggle


Her name is Bessie, she's adorable, and I like her already. Bessie lives here with her retired husband, Buster, and their son, Xander. When I arrive, only Bessie and Buster are here.

Once I introduce myself, I ask Buster for some food. I have priorities, after all! After I snack, I head off to the bathroom.


Spoiler: click to toggle


Oops.

Well, I'm not fixing that. I am evil, after all.

(Amusingly, a few minutes later, Bessie heads upstairs to use the restroom and promptly breaks the other toilet.)


Spoiler: click to toggle


I spend a bit of time chatting with Bessie and Buster, determinedly not mentioning the broken toilet. Eventually, Xander comes home for the day. I head over to introduce myself, and we start chatting. Meanwhile, Buster and Bessie are... uh, hmm. Perhaps we should just leave them be.

Spoiler: click to toggle


Buster retreats upstairs, and I spend the next few hours chatting with Xander and Bessie on the couch. Things get a bit heated, and Pete finds himself in the middle of a family argument.

Spoiler: click to toggle


(He seems much more interested in that chair over there, though.)

After doing a bit of detective work, I'm hypothesizing that Bessie, as an artistic Sim, is not amused by Xander's lack of tolerance for her hobby. It gets a bit awkward, and Bessie goes off to bed in a huff. Xander sticks around, however, and the two of us bond over our shared love for cat videos.


Spoiler: click to toggle


Eventually, Xander goes off to bed, and Pete bids him farewell, still innocently perched on the couch.

Spoiler: click to toggle


I wait for a bit for the rest of the house to go to sleep, and then I put my plan into action. When I first entered the house, I noticed that Bessie and Buster had a very nice chess set. As a Genius Sim, Pete would probably appreciate something that'll let him improve his Logic skill, so I tell him to swipe something on that side of the room.

Spoiler: click to toggle


He takes a lamp off of the wall.

Well, that's alright. Pete's house is kind of dark right now, anyway. I try again.


Spoiler: click to toggle


Huh. I guess Pete really likes dining chairs.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Frustrated, I click over to the living room, hoping Pete will grab himself a TV or SOMETHING interesting.


Spoiler: click to toggle


Oh, come on!

Spoiler: click to toggle


Thus, at the end of day two, Pete finds himself the proud new owner of three mismatched dining chairs, two loveseats, and a lamp. I am not amused.

Stay tuned for day three!

Pete sat on his couch and stared at his newly acquired chairs. The lamp he'd lifted cast a dim, orange light across the room. The house was silent. Pete moved his hand in a way which resembled a judge banging a gavel. He cleared his throat and spoke.

Pete: "The Council of The Imaginary Friend League is now in session! Mr. Scrumpshidoodle, you have the floor."
Mr. Scrumpshidoodle: "UNBURDEN THEM OF THEIR WORLDLY POSSESSIONS, THEN KILL THEM AND BURN THEIR REMAINS."
Pete: "Very good idea, thank you. :) Ms. Tuffykins, you have the floor."
Ms. Tuffykins: "SATAN"
Pete: "Thank you, Ms. Tuffykins."

On day three of Sneaky Pete's Klepto King adventure, while Pete takes his morning shower, I take the time to investigate the neighborhood to scout out the nearby houses. Unfortunately, all of the homes I'm interested in visiting in person aren't inhabited at the moment, so I can't visit them to swipe anything. I guess even though he's a thief, Pete still has standards. Good for him, I suppose.

While I'm looking around, The Sims decides to give Pete the desire to return one of the chairs he took the other day.

Ha! Nice try, game. Deleted!

Spoiler: click to toggle

I return from my investigations to find Pete relaxing on one of his new sofas, reading the newspaper. Well, at least he's getting some enjoyment out of this.

Since none of the houses I'd like to visit are occupied right now, I decide to send Pete off to a place I know will have people--the park! Maybe he'll meet some nice Sims there. Preferably Sims with food. He's feeling rather peckish.

As I expected, there's no shortage of social interaction to be had here. I pick out a Sim and head over to chat.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Her name is Molly French, and she gives me a hamburger. Awesome.

After I finish my breakfast, I track Molly down in an attempt to make better friends with her. She's sitting at a nearby table, with another woman who I don't know. I introduce myself.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Her name is Fiona McIrish, and Pete likes her right away. Ooh la la. I wonder if it's the hat. It has a bit of a roguish vibe.

Turns out Fiona is an investigative reporter (hence the hat and trenchcoat, I assume). For kicks, I ask her what her sign is.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Apparently she's a Virgo, and the game tells me that Virgo and Cancer are compatible signs. Eeeeexcellent. Pete makes a move!

Spoiler: click to toggle

Fiona seems receptive to his flirty compliments, and I'm starting to think she's really into him. We've become friends incredibly quickly, and Pete's itching to take the next step. Unfortunately, our conversation is cut short as Fiona runs off to the bathroom.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Well, this is awkward.

Pete spends a few moments shooting out some friendly texts to some of the Sims he's met over the last few days (wouldn't want any of them to forget about me, after all!), and then we head off to another location. Namely, another park!

As soon as we arrive, I notice a woman wearing a hat and trenchcoat seated at a picnic blanket. I have Pete run up to her, hoping it's Fiona.

It's not. Oops.

Spoiler: click to toggle

This is Victoria Andrews, another writer. She's having a picnic with her husband, Beau. I plonk myself down on their picnic blanket and grab a tofu dog.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Though I'm sure this would be considered rather rude in real life, Victoria and Beau don't seem to mind.

Victoria and Beau head home, and I wander over to the other side of the park. I spot a woman sitting at a park bench, reading a book. Is that who I think it is?

Spoiler: click to toggle

It's Fiona, for real this time! Though I'm tempted to make Pete pull the "sit next to someone you like on a bench and casually scoot closer and closer to them" routine, I'm distracted by a ruckus at the next table.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Dave Ramsey, apparently the owner of the park, is having a flat-out brawl with a young lady named Anne Song, who's apparently a paparazzi. Anne comes out the victor in the end, and Dave is left sitting on the ground, nursing his wounds.

Spoiler: click to toggle

(the best thing about this screenshot is how they're beating the shit out of each other RIGHT in front of a cop)

Once things die down, Fiona makes to head home, but I stop her before she leaves. I have a very important thing to ask her first...

Spoiler: click to toggle


Spoiler: click to toggle

YES!

Pete bids Fiona goodbye, and rushes back home, romance blossoming in his heart. Is it possible that love can bloom between an investigative reporter and a thief? Only time will tell! (I, for one, think they'd be adorable together.)

Stay tuned for day four!

lol yes those are rings. That's just the symbol that shows up when you ask a Sim if they're single, however. No marriage proposals (yet)!
