After a peaceful decade, the tranquility of The Sims is about to be disrupted as burglars make a daring return to the virtual neighborhood! The Sims 4 developers have just dropped a thrilling update in their latest blog, reintroducing the mischievous burglars to the game. While some players are excited about the added challenge, others might not be thrilled at the prospect of their virtual homes being targeted.
Fear not, as there are several ways to protect your Sims and their belongings. Installing an alarm system remains a classic and effective defense against these nocturnal intruders. When triggered, it will swiftly summon the police to apprehend the criminal. For those Sims with a knack for tinkering, upgrading the alarm can enhance its reliability and even enable it to automatically alert law enforcement. If you find yourself without an alarm, you can still call the police directly, though you'll need to hope they arrive before the burglar makes off with your prized possessions. Alternatively, a more daring approach could be attempting to befriend the burglar—turning a potential foe into a friend.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to fend off burglars, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions, albeit with the need for specific expansion packs. Unleash your loyal dogs, or harness the powers of spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves to take down the intruder. You could even freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray. Remember, these exotic defenses require the relevant expansion packs to be fully equipped in your arsenal.
The good news is that this burglars update is already available and completely free, adding a fresh layer of excitement and challenge to your Sims' daily lives.
