Burglars Reintroduced in The Sims 4 Update

After a decade of tranquility in the world of The Sims, burglars are making a dramatic return, ready to pilfer the possessions of unsuspecting Sims. The Sims 4 developers have just announced this exciting yet nerve-wracking update in their latest blog, stirring a mix of anticipation and apprehension among players.

For those familiar with the series, you'll remember the effectiveness of installing an alarm system to thwart these unwelcome intruders. Once activated, it swiftly alerts the police, who rush to the scene to apprehend the criminal. Savvy Sims can even upgrade these devices to enhance their reliability and ensure they automatically notify law enforcement. Without an alarm, players can still call the police themselves, hoping for a timely response, or they might opt for a more personal approach by attempting to befriend the burglar.

For those looking for more unconventional methods, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the intruder, or use a special freezing ray to stop burglars in their tracks. These exotic options add a thrilling layer of strategy to dealing with these new threats.

The good news? This burglars update is now available to all players, completely free of charge, bringing a fresh twist to the gameplay experience of The Sims 4.
