After a decade of tranquility, the world of The Sims is once again facing the thrill of burglaries. In an exciting update announced in their latest blog, The Sims 4 developers have reintroduced burglars to the game, bringing a mix of anticipation and apprehension among the player community.
To safeguard your Sims' homes, installing an alarm system remains the go-to strategy, just as it was in previous versions of the game. When a burglar triggers the alarm, the police will swiftly respond, rushing to your Sim's residence to apprehend the intruder. For those Sims with a knack for tinkering, upgrading the alarm system can enhance its reliability and even automate the call to the police, reducing the chances of a breakdown. If you find yourself without an alarm, you can still dial the police directly, hoping they arrive in time to catch the thief. Another intriguing approach is to try befriending the burglar, turning a potential foe into a friend.
For players looking for more creative solutions, The Sims 4 offers several unique options, though these require specific expansion packs. You can set your loyal dogs on the intruder, unleash the powers of spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves, or even freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray. These exotic defenses add a fun twist to dealing with home invasions but come at the cost of additional game content.
The good news is that this burglars update is already available and completely free, allowing all players to experience the return of this classic gameplay element without any extra cost.
