This Fan-Favorite Sims Character Is Finally Making an Appearance in The Sims 4

Author : Ava Mar 04,2025

Attention Sims fans! The infamous Burglar, Robin Banks, is back in The Sims 4! This nostalgic addition, absent for over a decade, is part of the latest game update for PC and consoles.

Get ready to safeguard your Sims' valuables! Robin Banks operates under the cover of night, typically targeting homes while everyone sleeps. However, she's known to attempt heists even when Sims are awake, so stay vigilant!

To thwart her, utilize the burglar alarm. Triggering it guarantees a swift police response, leading to Robin's arrest and the recovery of stolen goods. Alternatively, Sims can call the police themselves, though speed is crucial. Or, for those inclined, vigilante justice is always an option.

Burglary events are designed to be relatively infrequent, but for chaos enthusiasts, activate the Lot Challenge "Heist Havoc" to increase the likelihood of a visit from Robin.

The Sims team expressed their excitement about Robin's return, highlighting her potential to both rob and charm Sims. This addition serves as a fitting tribute to The Sims' 25th anniversary.

Despite being a decade old, The Sims 4 continues to thrive, attracting over 15 million new players last year. Its transition to free-to-play in 2022 resulted in a remarkable surge of 31 million new players, bringing the total player count to 85 million by May 2024. For now, however, plans for The Sims 5 remain unannounced.
