After a decade of tranquility, the virtual world of The Sims is once again facing the threat of burglars ready to strike at unsuspecting households. In a recent blog post, The Sims 4 developers unveiled an eagerly anticipated update, although not all fans are thrilled about the prospect of their Sims being robbed.
Similar to earlier versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a key defense against these nocturnal intruders. When activated, the alarm alerts the police, who swiftly arrive to apprehend the criminal. Savvy Sims can even upgrade their alarm systems to enhance reliability and ensure automatic police notification. Without an alarm, players must call the police manually and hope for a timely response, or they might opt for a more daring approach by attempting to befriend the burglar.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to thwart burglars, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions like setting dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the intruder, or using a special ray to freeze them in their tracks. However, these exciting options are only accessible with the purchase of specific expansion packs.
The burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost, adding a new layer of challenge and excitement to the game.
