Ten years of peaceful Sims life comes to an end! Burglars are back in The Sims 4, ready to test your home security.
The Sims 4 developers recently announced a highly anticipated (though perhaps not universally welcomed) update: the return of burglaries.
Just like in previous Sims games, installing an alarm system is your first line of defense. A triggered alarm will summon the police to apprehend the culprit. For added security, skilled Sims can upgrade the alarm system for improved reliability and automatic police alerts. If you're caught off guard without an alarm, you can try calling the police yourself – hoping for a swift response – or even attempt to befriend the burglar.
For those with expansion packs, more creative (and arguably more fun) solutions exist. Unleash your pets, summon spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves to deal with the intruder, or even freeze them solid with a special ray gun! However, these options require the relevant expansion packs.
The good news? This burglar update is available now, and it's completely free!
