The Sims 4's latest update brings back a classic: the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks! This nocturnal thief targets your Sims' homes, attempting to steal valuable items. Learn how to catch her and protect your Sim's belongings.
Robin Banks only appears at night, making her a challenging adversary. While her appearances are infrequent, activating the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge increases the chances of a visit – and also increases the likelihood of a successful getaway for the Burglar, as it triggers erratic alarm behavior.
Catching the Burglar:
If your Sim awakens before Robin Banks completes her heist, several methods exist to apprehend her:
- Call the Police: The trusty police force has returned to The Sims 4 and are ready to arrest this notorious criminal.
- Fisticuffs: Sims can engage Robin Banks in a physical confrontation. Fitter Sims have a greater chance of success.
Defensive Strategies:
Several expansion packs offer unique defensive options:
- Canine Companions: Dogs will chase Robin Banks away. (Requires: Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
- Werewolf Intimidation: Werewolves can scare her off. (Requires: Werewolves Game Pack)
- Magical Mayhem: Spellcasters can use spells, including transformations, to thwart her. (Requires: Realm of Magic Game Pack)
