Burglars Reintroduced in The Sims 4 Update

After a decade of tranquility, the beloved virtual world of The Sims is once again under threat as burglars make a daring return to rob unsuspecting Sims. In an exciting blog post, The Sims 4 developers unveiled this highly anticipated update, although not every player is thrilled about the prospect of their digital homes being targeted.

As with previous versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a key defense against these nocturnal intruders. When activated, it promptly alerts the police, who will race to the scene to apprehend the criminal. Savvy Sims have the option to enhance their alarm systems, reducing the chances of malfunctions and enabling automatic police notifications. Without an alarm, players must resort to manually calling the authorities and hope for a swift response, or they might even try to befriend the burglar for a peaceful resolution.

For those seeking more inventive methods to thwart these thieves, The Sims 4 offers unique solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the burglars, or even use a special freezing ray to immobilize them. However, these exotic countermeasures are exclusive to those with the relevant expansion packs.

The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost, adding a thrilling new layer of challenge and strategy to the game.
