After a decade of tranquility in the world of The Sims, burglars are making a dramatic return, ready to plunder the homes of unsuspecting Sims! In an exciting announcement on their latest blog, the developers of The Sims 4 have unveiled a much-anticipated update that reintroduces these cunning thieves into the game. While some players might be thrilled by the added challenge, others are less enthusiastic about the prospect of their virtual homes being targeted.
As with earlier versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a primary defense against these new burglars. When triggered, the alarm will alert the police, who will swiftly arrive to apprehend the intruder. Savvy Sims can even enhance their alarm systems, reducing the chance of malfunctions and ensuring an automatic police call. Without an alarm, players have the option to manually call the police, hoping for a timely response, or they can try a more diplomatic approach by attempting to befriend the burglar.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to thwart these criminals, The Sims 4 offers some intriguing solutions. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the burglar, or use a special freezing ray to immobilize them. However, these creative countermeasures are only accessible with the appropriate expansion packs.
The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost. Whether you're prepared to fortify your Sim's home or explore new ways to deal with these unwelcome visitors, the choice is yours in this latest update to The Sims 4.
