After a decade of tranquility, the peaceful world of The Sims is set to face a new challenge: burglars are back, ready to sneak into your virtual homes! In a recent blog post, The Sims 4 developers have unveiled this thrilling update, though not every Sim fan is excited about the prospect of being robbed.
Just like in the earlier versions of the game, players can protect their Sims by installing an alarm system. When activated, it swiftly alerts the police, who will rush to the scene and apprehend the intruder. For the tech-savvy Sims, there's an option to upgrade this security device, enhancing its reliability and enabling it to automatically contact law enforcement. If an alarm isn't in place, players can still call the police manually, keeping their fingers crossed for a timely response. Another intriguing approach is to try and befriend the burglar, turning a potential enemy into an ally.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to thwart these thieves, there are several options, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. You can unleash your dogs on the intruder, or if you're into the supernatural, deploy spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves to deal with the criminal. Another fun solution is to freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray. However, these creative defenses come with a cost, as they're only accessible through the respective expansion packs.
The good news is that the burglars update is already available and comes at no extra charge, adding a fresh layer of excitement and strategy to your Sims' daily lives.
