After a decade of tranquility, the world of The Sims is bracing for the return of burglars, ready to pilfer the possessions of unsuspecting Sims. The Sims 4 developers recently unveiled this exciting update in their latest blog, stirring both anticipation and apprehension among players.
In true Sims fashion, players can combat these crafty criminals by installing an alarm system in their virtual homes. Once triggered, the alarm swiftly summons the police, who will arrive to apprehend the burglar. Savvy Sims can even upgrade their alarm systems, enhancing reliability and ensuring automatic police notifications. In the absence of an alarm, players aren't left defenseless; they can manually call the police and hope for a timely response or take a more diplomatic approach by attempting to befriend the intruder.
For those looking for more unconventional methods, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the burglar, or even freeze the criminal in their tracks with a specialized ray. These exotic defenses, however, come with the caveat of needing additional game content.
The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players, free of charge, bringing a new layer of challenge and excitement to the game.
