The Crime Boss

📖 The story

From a small-time crook running petty scams to the untouchable head of a criminal empire — your Sim claws their way to the top of the underworld, and once they're Boss, the whole town quietly works for them.

💝 The goal

Reach the top of the **Criminal career (Boss branch)** and build a wider criminal "empire" around it.

🎀 Packs required

Packs recommended

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Create an aspiring crook and move into a gritty urban lot. Build the Mischief skill to support the rise.

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• Income comes from crime and crime-adjacent hustles, not honest careers.
• No money cheats.
• Roleplay the rise from petty to powerful.

✨ Specific rules

• Max the Criminal career's **Boss** branch.
• Build a crew — recruit other Sims who do your bidding (a club works well).
• Establish "territory": a set of Sims or lots under your influence.

✅ What you can do

• Climb the Criminal career into the Boss branch; recruit 'henchmen' Sims through roleplay.
• Use villainous and mischief socials; use `bb.moveobjects`.

⛔ What you can't do

• No legitimate (non-criminal) career income.
• Build the empire through play — no money cheats.

💡 Strategy tips

• The **Mischief** skill underpins the villain fantasy — max it for the meanest interactions and the Public Enemy aspiration alongside the career.
• Use a Get Together **club** as your "syndicate," with rules and perks that reinforce the crew's loyalty.
• A bad **reputation** (Get Famous) is a feature, not a bug — lean into being feared.

🔥 Want it harder?

• Run the empire while **never being arrested or caught** in any mean act by a townie witness.
• Pass the empire to an heir who must hold it a second generation.

🎭 Variations

The **Oracle** (hacker) branch instead, for a cyber-crime empire run from the shadows. ---
