@@lucyyy7928yeah and if there were more consequences to breaking in, like what op said about cops being called or just being caught on the act of breaking in by the sim you’re breaking into
i wish there was some way for sims who've had stuff stolen to acknowledge it. maybe an interaction or moodlet, or even if stolen items just showed up as a bubble above their head when sleeping. would be so funny if after having all her things stolen eliza would walk around and "ask about missing object" or "discuss local crime" or something with other sims!
My guess for the downstairs items not being stealable is that when you added them as part of the shared space area, the game flagged the items as not stealable. I think the code was just missing the ability to set those items back to stealable when they were moved to a unit or the area they were in was changed to a unit. It's probably a bug. As far as clearing the steal buff, you can only do that with realm of magic potions of emotional stability. If you also have the burgliate spell, you can steal a wider variety of items. It's a shame that more options for stealing aren't available without realm of magic.
I gotta say that I think it's pretty cool we get to steal certain items only with magic, and that is because it gives more unique gameplay to spellcasters that isn't there for regular sims (muggles, if you will). In fact, I wish we had more interactions that are unique to spellcasters, like making frogs rain and whatnot. But that's a discussion for another time.
@@lagritsalammas it's just that the klepto trait is base game and spell casters are a paid pack. I think originally kleptos and spell casters were meant to have the same ability to steal, but EA patched it so that some items couldn't be stolen due to NPC kleptos taking things and people complaining. They forgot to patch the spell casters. The caster has the ability to steal much more frequently though because of the potion and they can just duplicate the potion. For as long as they can avoid overcharge, they can just keep stealing. That's powerful enough. They can also earn the ability to steal from another room and not ever get caught.
You should do a “Rag to Riches Squatter edition”. This is the perfect opportunity to live in other people’s houses and sell their stuff to get money lol
If you do end up doing this again with all the packs, make sure you're a spellcaster. You can use the spell Burglarate to steal items. If the issue with 1st floor persists, you could try setting that back to shared space, and using the Long Reach trait to allow you to steal from a distance. Then you can steal without breaking in, and without risking getting caught.
The loading screens are the reason I'm not getting this pack right now. Think I'll wait until the modding community opens it up(if they can)and if they can't I won't bother lol
@@SamS018 They can't. As TwistedMexi has said, the loading screens being where they are is a requirement set by the game engine. Unless your game runs slow (which if it does that's fair) the loading screens shouldn't be that big of a deal. Most of the loading in Sims 4 isn't that bad time wise so long as you haven't gone overboard with mods/CC.
@katrinagraham7615 this pack just isn't compatible with the way I play my saves. If I'm playing on a lot with a bunch of different sims it's because I want to be playing with those sims. Not just having a shared space and constantly switching back and forth between households. It's a little thing that I would find very aggravating in the long term. I'd rather dump all my sims onto a lot and using mods to increase household size have control of them and be able to use all their individual spaces at the same time. It's just the way I prefer it.
14:15 made me think of Sims 2 burglars, they gave me such jumpscares back in the day, time going off x3, the little video in the corner, the music.... I miss Sims 2
I have a vendetta against the Landgraabs..... Lol. The Landgraabs are just too rich for no reason so I make it my personal mission to help them be less rich.... And the last 2 lotteries I had come up on my calendar they won rofl. Geoffrey won the 1st one and then Nancy the next one.... So I definitely have a klepto sim coming up in my current generation....
imagine Semaj trying to lug that sofa along the side of the house, quickly and inconspicuously, as Bob walks down the sidewalk on his way home the neighbors just watching and being very confused 😂
Wasn't it one of those things that the game devs have addressed and admitted to having technical issues getting it resolved? I think I saw it in one of either Pixelade's or Simmer Erin's vids.
James, you can cheat the emotions and choose "Fine" and every time-related emotion disappears. This is helpful for the cave as well when you have to wait 8 hours to enter it again
The way I snort laughed when you said “this is the best house I’ve ever built!” While I haven’t seen all your builds (yet), I’m gonna have to agree. I love this lil kleptomaniacs home!
Would have been absolutely perfect for the Sims 4 to get the burglar into the game with For Rent! It would be awesome, and some security alarms/lasers/doors
if the naubourhood plans have the sharing is caring trait, does that mean you can steal from the shared place? or does it already belong to you. but what about sims visiting can they steal from a shared place?
that was so fun and I was shocked you were still able to use everything normally as well in the flat. I'm gonna have to give this a try when i get this EP
As a builder, Have you considered a series where you update the base game Houses and community lots with items from the expansions? Just like was done before Kids Room Stuff came out.
At one point I'd love to see you play a challenge where you cannot buy anything other than walls/windows. You have to survive off of stealing, dumpster diving, transforming objects, maybe wood working etc. You should be able to get everything you need from these means. 😊
Starting to think the Sims intelligence is on the same level as Patrick Star and his wallet scene. Eliza: this looks like our stuff Bob: eh, he has good taste
I would have made it so that you can only furnish your home with either furniture you steal or using funds from furniture you steal. Regardless, awesome video!
One of my sims is a kleptomaniac witch who steals from her clients when performing exorcism on their haunted house. Couldn’t steal furnitures until she learned the burglariate spell. After that, she was a menace!
LEAVE THE PANCAKES ALONE!!! xD why does everyone pick on them? Lmao but thanks for the idea lol I’m gonna do this to Vlad as payback for that ugly baby he gave my sim.
If I were you, I would sell that stuff to be sure the Pancakes don't get suspicious. You can't make it anymore obvious when it is sitting in the livingroom.
This is exactly the type of video I was looking for today and Semaj delivered! I'm currently playing a sim with klepto trait and was wondering how the new pack will work with that, so big thanks :)
I think the full reset James did back to normal residential lot should have fixed it, but for the problem I think it's stemming from the room assigned to Semaj being on the same level as rooms assigned to the Pancakes. What do we think?
@@JamesTurnerYT it really should have fixed /whatever/ was going on. Felt like the catch all fix! You went through so many loading screens for the vid. We thank you.
My watching of Good Bones from HGTV is showing. I desperately wanted James to be able to install a long thin high window on each side of the granny flat instead on the individual panes. Cause that's what the host always does, haha
I was really inspired by this gameplay so I tried it on my own -- I think that the first shared, later privatized lower floor was why you couldn't steal from it. I am currently playing rags to riches with the klepto, nosy and freegan trait to get free furniture to hopefully fill my rented (and later rent out spaces haha)
Personally I've never seen Bob or Eliza truly 'freak out' in game (they always seem unflappable)...maybe that's why we all like to "I'm-touching-you, I'm-poking-you, I'm-living-in-your-house-under-your-nose'' them,
Breaking in is too easy. I feel like there should be a chance of the cops being called. And I wish we had burglars again
yeah that would be so cool, and maybe a burglar alarm noise too.
there is a chance you fail when breaking in but it would be fun if it was a higher chance
@@lucyyy7928yeah and if there were more consequences to breaking in, like what op said about cops being called or just being caught on the act of breaking in by the sim you’re breaking into
@@hfjirehto be fair…he did get beat up by Bob. Twice 😂
How we have a detective career yet no cops
I feel like every simmer loves torturing the pancakes for some reason lol
When I just started playing, I would steal Bob to marry, lol. I play somewhat differently now...
It's Eliza
There's only a few iconic base game Sims and the Pancakes are just so easy to mess with haha
@@JamesTurnerYT i agree hahaha
I always get sad they changed their name from newbie to pancakes
James should have a rental complex and be a werewolf and just eat all his tenant's furniture 😂😂
or move into a unit and eat his neighbors furniture
Ohh Sandalwood!
Rrrrrrrr@😊-UG😅😅😁😁😁😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😀@@samdykema

I almost spit my drink out when he said "This is the best house I've ever built!" The ridiculousness of it all is fantastic!
James when he wakes up,looking at the schedule:
"Torturing Pancakes"
Heck yeah! Lets gooo
Why do u have a green thing? I noticed some others do too.
@@Mixed_Activistthey're members of the channel
@@Mixed_Activist I love James' contrnt so I pay for a membership for whom he include more interesting videos 🥰

I think he probably needed to reboot the game completely after changing it from being a shared area.
It's so fun how they add in community references, like I would not have expected the reddit post to make it into the game

Steal all their stuff, then throw a housewarming party and invite them over 😂
Kinda made me think of a hoarder house, or maybe someone who loves auctions too much. I'm impressed he was able to move around in there!
I love James cut the loading screens so we don't go insane by the back and forth lol 😂😂😂😂

There have been so many Semaj videos recently! We are so blessed!
With the mod Ui Cheats Extension, one can delete that cooldown Moodlet, so I’m really looking forward to realizing my role as the town burglar NPC.
And it's been updated already.
"Not now, child!" -- literally me every time I play the Sims and am trying to accomplish something, which is all the time
14:15 made me think of Sims 2 burglars, they gave me such jumpscares back in the day, time going off x3, the little video in the corner, the music.... I miss Sims 2
James you are the gift that keeps on giving. Not only hilarious play throughs but also covering almost every feature i wanted to see in for rent.
At 15:57 there was an interaction to hire Bob as a caterer. I found that funny since you are in their house! 😂
I have a vendetta against the Landgraabs..... Lol. The Landgraabs are just too rich for no reason so I make it my personal mission to help them be less rich....

The way that huge dining table is just cramped in the tiny space at the end is hilarious 😂😂
imagine Semaj trying to lug that sofa along the side of the house, quickly and inconspicuously, as Bob walks down the sidewalk on his way home
the neighbors just watching and being very confused 😂
I love how every simmer has at least one sim that they have a vendetta against and I especially love that it’s usually the pancakes
11:05 i love how the cut makes it look like eliza just climbed into the grill
I think semaj should live in an apartment complex, get a bunch of stuff from the neighbors and sell at the night market
that’s crazy, i love it. would love to see more of semaj’s adventures as james’ test sim
Omg yes!!
Loving all this 4 rent content! Thanks James!
In the apartments the doors don't go down, which is annoying but I noticed it from city living
Wasn't it one of those things that the game devs have addressed and admitted to having technical issues getting it resolved? I think I saw it in one of either Pixelade's or Simmer Erin's vids.
That Smeagie secret is hilarious. I thought its a reference for Smeagol 😂
James, you can cheat the emotions and choose "Fine" and every time-related emotion disappears. This is helpful for the cave as well when you have to wait 8 hours to enter it again
Apartment looks like the beginning of a hoarding problem
The way I snort laughed when you said “this is the best house I’ve ever built!”
While I haven’t seen all your builds (yet), I’m gonna have to agree. I love this lil kleptomaniacs home!
me ordering pancakes from mcdonalds for the first time in forever, sit down to eat and open youtube
James:
I hope you’re prepared for the wrath of Eliza 😂
This was so funny, imagine doing that to all the popular townies 😆 I’m kind of bummed you didn’t invite them over for dinner or something lol
Yeah I was expecting him to invite Pancakes over to see 😂
Would have been absolutely perfect for the Sims 4 to get the burglar into the game with For Rent! It would be awesome, and some security alarms/lasers/doors
Glad there is at least some kind of Caught in the Act mechanic to the breaking in gameplay.
To get rid of "recently swiped an item" moodlet, you can do testing cheats true, then right click the moodlet to make it remove
Semaj "Granny Pancakes" Renrut. Master of thievery, bribery, revenge... but not mold 😎
The doors always being up is an apartment thing. The apartments in City Living have always done that.
Omg i love the Smeagie lore! That's a great catch by the Sims team.
I’d love to see this challenge again with all the packs included. This cracked me up 😂
if the naubourhood plans have the sharing is caring trait, does that mean you can steal from the shared place? or does it already belong to you. but what about sims visiting can they steal from a shared place?
Who knows. We we'll have to wait till tomorrow to see how the pack influence eachother
I love the ridiculousness of it all 🤣 and also that you clearly had a lot of fun doing this!
I have been eating up every video you post! Thank you for all the content, I know it's alot of work!
that was so fun and I was shocked you were still able to use everything normally as well in the flat. I'm gonna have to give this a try when i get this EP
this is semaj playing as goldilocks in the pancakes’ house

You have to level up your mischief level to be able to steal more items
Now hold a yard sale and sell all their furniture - hopefully they will buy some back ready for you to steal again!
I love how much Semaj sounds like James when he success to brake in. They have exactly the same voice when he says "Yeah!" Awesome!
You have such a funny sense of humor, made me laugh so hard, tyty
I hoped you would invite them at the end to fix your broken toilet or something, and see their reaction 🙃
Starting to think the Sims intelligence is on the same level as Patrick Star and his wallet scene.
Eliza: this looks like our stuff
Bob: eh, he has good taste
The Goldilocks Challenge. Breaking in to shower, cook, make a general mess and then leave haha
This video really shows why it is that James and Dr. Gluon are such good friends. They both love absolute chaos!
11:04
Eliza just went inside the BBQ 😂
What the...!? 😂😂😂
I don’t know Semaj’s beef with The Pancakes but I’m here for it 😂
It’s like the rental unit turnt into a storage unit and then we have a sim ‘secretly’ living in the Pancakes’ house again 😆
The community reference is actually pretty funny! I had no idea
with burgliate, i was able to steal toilets. Loved how that was a possibility.
I wasn’t expecting that to escalate the way it did.😂
I would have made it so that you can only furnish your home with either furniture you steal or using funds from furniture you steal. Regardless, awesome video!
This is giving me Stanley Humphrey vibes 😂

😄😄😄 Love how all the furniture squeezed into such a tiny house... I thought it's not going to work.
11:07 Did the grill eat Eliza? That's one way she can meet her crush.
Imagine they come in for maintence and just go "well hm..looks oddly familiar"
having the house be functional is the best part yet
LEAVE THE PANCAKES ALONE!!! xD why does everyone pick on them? Lmao but thanks for the idea lol I’m gonna do this to Vlad as payback for that ugly baby he gave my sim.
15 seconds in and I love it!!! I loved the first video too :) such a funny idea
A “parasite” gameplay might actually be possible now 😂
If feel this challenge would be a good companion for the rob waffles challenge
I feel like a burglar alarm would be a great addition... Poor pancakes 🤣🤣
The fact that this was "functional" is probably the best thing ive ever seen
If I were you, I would sell that stuff to be sure the Pancakes don't get suspicious. You can't make it anymore obvious when it is sitting in the livingroom.

I love the way your devious mind works! Your hilarious. 😂
you have such a neat way of building even the simplest builds.
I think this would be fun if you did it again but with 0 simoleons. You could only make money by selling things you steal!
Hoarders; The Semaj Edition 😂
Omg you should do this again, but with Eco Lifestyle's "sharing is caring" cuz you can "borrow" more items like counters and whatnot
He could also use Dream Home Decorator, to "steal" items that are typically inaccessible.
I was hoping for the grand finale you would steal Bob’s wife
I love it! Great idea.
Title of this video should be “I built a hoarder house”💀
I think the full reset James did back to normal residential lot should have fixed it, but for the problem I think it's stemming from the room assigned to Semaj being on the same level as rooms assigned to the Pancakes. What do we think?

Interesting bit : If you start an university program, IF all the relevant skills are maxed out, you start with 4 free credits.
