Burglars Make a Comeback in The Sims 4

After a decade of tranquility, the peaceful world of The Sims is about to get a bit more thrilling—burglars are making a comeback! In a recent blog post, The Sims 4 developers unveiled this long-awaited update, stirring a mix of excitement and apprehension among players.

Just like in the earlier versions of the game, players can safeguard their virtual homes with an alarm system to deter these unwelcome intruders. When activated, the alarm swiftly alerts the police, who will race to the scene to apprehend the criminal. For those Sims with a knack for technology, upgrading the alarm can enhance its reliability and ensure it automatically contacts law enforcement. Without an alarm, players aren't helpless; they can still dial the police themselves and hope for a timely response, or they might even attempt to befriend the burglar, turning a potential foe into a friend.

For those looking for more unconventional methods to handle these pesky thieves, The Sims 4 offers several creative options, albeit with the necessary expansion packs. Players can unleash their loyal dogs, or deploy spellcasters, vampires, and werewolves to deal with the intruders. Another fun solution is to freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray, ensuring they can't escape with your prized possessions.

The good news? This exciting burglars update is now available and completely free for all players, adding a new layer of strategy and fun to your Sims' lives.
