The Sims 4 Revives Burglar with New Features

The Sims 4 has reintroduced the classic burglar feature in a free update as part of the game's 25th anniversary celebration. This update adds the character Robin Banks, who can break into both residential and business lots to steal valuables. Players can thwart her by installing and upgrading burglar alarms or by directly confronting her, though success may depend on the physical attributes of their Sims. The update also includes a 'Heist Havoc' lot challenge, which increases burglary risk. This feature has been a fan request since the game's launch, aligning with nostalgia from previous Sims installments that included burglars. The update coincides with the release of the Businesses and Hobbies expansion, offering new skills and business opportunities without requiring purchase for the burglar feature.
