Ten years of peaceful Sims life comes to an end—burglars are back! The Sims 4 developers have announced a highly anticipated (though perhaps not universally welcomed) update: the return of burglaries.
Just like in previous Sims games, installing a home security system is your best defense. Trigger the alarm, and the police will swiftly apprehend the criminal. 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 still try calling the police yourself—though their timely arrival isn't guaranteed. A more unconventional approach? Try befriending the burglar!
For those with expansion packs, even more creative solutions are available. Unleash your furry friends, summon spellcasters, or call upon the supernatural might of vampires and werewolves to deal with the intruder. A high-tech option? Freeze them solid with a special ray! These options, however, require the relevant expansion packs.
The good news? This burglar update is available now—completely free!
