Bigfoot is a little different to other Monsters in the Game. Your Sims can't "become" Bigfoot but you can control Bigfoot. It is said he is hidden on a secret lot in the Three Lakes Mountains, and all he want is a little affection.

Once you control Bigfoot you can take him home and show him off to the Sims of you neighbourhood, but of course before you can control him you must find him. Just keep taking tours of Three Lakes until it you find a Hidden Lot. You can also Dig for Treasure in any lot (any vacation neighborhood, and maybe in your own neighborhood) and hope to find it there. This is where Bigfoot can be found. You must interact with him (be careful though he might frighten your Sims).

Interacting with him is like interacting with any other Sims and once your Relationship is high enough, he might give your Sims a Bigfoot hug, and this is where you ask him to "Move In", and from now on your In control of him.

Playing with Bigfoot is very Similar than other Sims, he can even make freinds, and get a Job! The only differences are, he gets hungry a bit faster, he doesn't care about his hygiene and to keep him happy he must give alot of "Bigfoot Hugs". But beware if you can't keep him happy his inbeast will be released, and thats not good!

[edit] Burglar

Burglar

Full Name: Burglar
About: Attempts to break in and steal items from your sim's house (no bigger than a couch). He will be stopped, however, if you own an alarm system, own a Sentry Bot, or call the police.

Where It's Found: On your home lot, usually at night.
EP Needed: None
Can be Married/Adopted? Yes. With the original sims you can choose to let a burglar escape from the police car and talk to them, establishing a relationship.

Burglars are nasty fellows who have first made their appearance as a "Unknown Naughty Sim" in the original Sims. Just like in Sims, to capture the scoundrel, you can buy a burglar alarm or use a phone to alert the police. Now in The Sims 2 burglars are townies and you can also prevent them with a Sentry Bot from The Sims 2 Open For Business.

Police would attack the burglar, even if the burglar wins the fight, they still get caught. When the burglar goes in the car, you can set them free, but not get a reward. After, releasing the burglar you get a chance to socialize with he/she.

Watch out! Being robbed gives horrible memories!

The legendary Crumplebottom bloodline continues to traumatize sims of all sizes, shapes and colors on community lots with her purse full of stockings and knitting gear.

In The Sims 2, 'Townies' can have any surname, and can be identified only by the fact that they don't have a house and do not appear in the Families bin.
