Thieves and Deceivers

Soon after I opened my Riverview game, a burglar showed up. The good news is that a police woman appeared almost at once.

The bad news is that she immediately changed out of her uniform and into a swimsuit. I don't think the officer takes her job too seriously!

She did try to apprehend the thief as 1-Eye the plumbot and others looked on.

But apparently the lady burglar wasn't as worried about breaking a fingernail. The criminal won.

The thief ran off without any loot, but Mark and Bonnie tried to follow anyway. She made a clean getaway though.

As for the police officer, let's just say she definitely has an unusual fashion sense! I really think she's in the wrong profession. Or maybe she's on the take!

It was still before dawn, but the family stayed up. Clyde gave a presentation.

Clyde: Next time some tough comes by to pinch what's ours, we follows my new plan here. Sharpo, you bring out the Tommy-Gun.
Mark: Right, boss.
Clyde: Bonnie? Roxie? You gals get the ropes just in case we needs 'em alive, see? I'll take care of the fuzz what shows up.

Roxie: Oh, Mr Farrow! I'm so happy you like my singing! If there's anything I can do for you, just whistle!

Ruby is blissfully unaware of her new competition in the tempting form of Roxie Rhodes!

But Mao Chen sees it all.

Meanwhile, Roxie tackles a few skill-building activities.

I already had two Computer Whiz sims in the family, so I changed Roxie's Computer trait to Equestrian. I thought it went well with her Snob trait.

She may like horses, but she still isn't completely comfortable around them yet!

Roxie gained a skill point in Inventing by eating fruit from the Tree of Prosperity. Not sure what she'll be able to do with that. Safe cracking?

Clyde is still infatuated with Ruby. He forgives her time after time. What can I say; he's a Hopeless Romantic!

Clyde elected to give Ruby a Romantic massage. I didn't worry about the consequences because both she and Bonnie already have the Fertility Treatment reward from Clyde giving them romantic massages in the past!

So far, Ruby has been behaving herself. Maybe she knows I'm just waiting for her to push her luck! No use playing all sweet and domestic with me, Ruby girl. I know your game! And don't get any ideas holding that baby either. Highly fertile or not, it ain't gonna happen!

I'm keeping hands off with these two--just like I did when Ruby and Bonnie were competing for Clyde. Clyde chose Ruby then, and Bonnie went on to marry Mark. Now we'll see how happy Clyde is with Ruby as a wife!
