Careful, Simmers! The infamous Burglar, Robin Banks, is back in The Sims 4! A familiar face (or should we say, mask?) from older Sims games, she's returning in a recent update for PC and consoles. Prepare to safeguard your Sims' valuables!
Robin Banks operates under the cover of night, typically targeting homes while everyone's asleep. However, don't be lulled into a false sense of security; she's known to attempt daring daytime heists. Stay vigilant!
To combat this cunning thief, equip your Sims' homes with burglar alarms. Triggering the alarm guarantees a swift police response, leading to Robin's arrest and the recovery of your stolen goods. Alternatively, Sims can call the police themselves, though speed is crucial. Or, if you prefer a more direct approach… well, vigilante justice is always an option.
Burglary events are designed to be relatively infrequent, but for those craving chaos, activate the "Lot Challenge Heist Havoc" to significantly increase the likelihood of a visit from Robin Banks.
The Sims team expressed their excitement about bringing the Burglar back, noting that this nostalgic addition is a fitting way to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary. They hope players enjoy the mischief Robin Banks will undoubtedly unleash upon their households.
Despite being a decade old, The Sims 4 continues to thrive, attracting over 15 million new players last year alone. This remarkable success is even more impressive considering its transition to a free-to-play model in 2022, which resulted in a staggering 31 million new players and a total player base exceeding 85 million by May 2024. For those eagerly anticipating The Sims 5, however, EA has confirmed there are currently no plans for its release.
