Partners in Crime, Chapter 1

I am still dealing with a lack of focus and a short term attention span, so here is the next story starter. This story is about a couple of outlaws in love.

Partners in Crime – posted 3/24/2022


Partners in Crime

When Alberto met Betty, she was just a small town waitress at a roadside diner, dreaming of having the kind of life she saw in classic Hollywood films. Alberto was handsome and charming and after a few weeks of coming to the diner every day to flirt with her, he managed to convince her to run away with him, promising her the adventure of a lifetime and all the riches any girl like her could ever want. She would be his queen.

What Betty didn’t know at the time was that Alberto was a career criminal and wanted by the police for armed robbery. The adventure he had promised her? Running from the cops. The riches? Stolen from banks, museums, and jewellery stores. It wasn’t what she had in mind when she was told she’d be his queen but what was the alternative? Going back to that dead-end job in that dead-end town, dreaming of a life she almost had once but let slip through her fingers? No way. So Betty embraced her new life of crime and started helping Alberto pull off some of his biggest heists. Now they were both wanted criminals. He had the muscle and the experience, she had the feminine charm. Between the two of them, they could get in anywhere. They were unstoppable.

But Betty’s gotten tired of Alberto’s promises, lately. He keeps promising her “just one more heist” and then they’ll settle down far away in a different country where no one recognises them in a big mansion with enough riches to never have to rob again. They can live cushy the rest of their lives. That was a dozen heists ago. Betty’s tired of living in their pickup truck and cheap motels. She was promised a life of luxury but what good is all the fancy clothes and jewels she has if she can’t walk down the street flaunting them? It’s not enough to just be his queen. She wants to be queen of the whole world!

They’re sitting on a large amount of cash in duffel bags and gold bars from their recent bank robbery. Alberto trusts her with the keys to the pickup truck where all their stolen valuables are. What if she just… drove away with all of it? What could he really do about it with no money and no car in the middle of nowhere?

Perhaps it’s time to stop waiting to be given her crown and just take it for herself.

The Hideaway

From the street, this place just looks like an overgrown vacant lot but past the trees lies the secret hideout of infamous criminal masterminds, Betty Coy and Alberto Rossi. These partners in crime stay one step ahead of the police by always being on the move but they’ve temporarily settled here while they take inventory of all their latest spoils and figure out how to sell it all discreetly. The thick foliage and heavy tree cover hides their pickup truck full of stolen valuables well.

  • Price: §15,685
  • Size: 20×15
  • Beds: 1
  • Baths: 1
  • Lot Traits: N/A
  • Packs Used: Outdoor Retreat

It took a hot moment to get Betty and Alberto setup with the right relationship. I set their romance as noted in the setup instructions, and then I added +20 to their friendship level. So they are Sweethearts and Dating and Co-Workers. Co-Workers. They are both level 5 in the Criminal career and need to work on Mischief for their next promotions. I haven’t decided yet how their story is going to go but I am favoring Betty. Now, Betty has to figure out what she wants from this life.

Betty and Alberto spend Sunday working on their mischief skills – despite both doing the same thing, they apparently don’t like being the recipient of the mischief activities. They take a few classes, separately, and they really don’t get along very well. That could be because Alberto wants to become Public Enemy #1 and Betty just wants her mansion and all the pretty things.

I have been playing Sims since August 2005; a member, then a moderator, and now an admin of Boolprop.net since October 2006. My sister is the one that hooked me on Sims in the beginning. She had all of the original Sims games and one week while I was on vacation I took her games and started playing. That was the beginning of my obsession. I played Sims 1 for about a month and then decided to buy Sims 2. When Sims 3 was released I made the move and have never looked back. Now I am all in on Sims 4 and still loving it.
