Major rewrite: added detailed theft and scam interaction lists with skill requirements, Suspicious Job Agency, crime skill progression, wanted status mechanics, and connected criminal career info
The crime system, introduced in inZOI's v0.5.0 update (December 2025), lets Zois aged Young Adult and older pursue criminal activities including theft, scams, and organized crime. Criminal actions build a Crime Skill (capped at Level 5) and a Crime Score that determines police attention. Getting caught leads to fines, arrest, and potentially prison.
Theft actions target physical property and security systems. Success depends on physical and technical skills.

Pick Door Lock | Open locked doors without a key | Handiwork |
Break Down Door | Force entry through a locked door | Fitness |
Open Safe | Crack a locked safe to steal valuables | Handiwork, Programming |
