The Sims 3 Criminal Career Track
This Sims 3 Guide was originally written for the PC and Mac versions of the game, but also will help owners of the console versions - PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Please remember some info or numbers may have changed.
To join the criminal career track in the Sims 3, apply at the warehouse. Criminals will need athletic skills to excel at their jobs. There are two branches in the criminal career track, thief and evil. Evil Sims who become Emperor of Evil will glow red from time to time, frightening skittish Sims. Master Thieves will receive a golden fox statue that can boost mood. Emperor of Evil will require logic and athletics, whereas Master Thief requires only athletics. I actually prefer the master thief branch, as it has a better reward and is less difficult to get promoted in.

Good Traits for The Sims 3's Criminal Career Track
Athletic
The Athletic trait will help either thieves or evil masters. Either branch requires the ahtletic skill to be successful, and this increases the rate they'll "learn" that skill.
Genius
If your Sim is shooting for emperor of evil, take this trait. It will help them to raise logic faster. Do so early, because the logic skill will pop up suddenly at level 8 in the career track with a high requirement.
