The Sims 4's latest update brings back a classic antagonist: the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks! This guide details how to encounter and apprehend this nocturnal thief.
Robin Banks only appears at night, attempting to pilfer valuable household items. While her appearances are infrequent, activating the new "Heist Havoc" lot challenge significantly increases the probability of a visit, though it also makes a successful escape more likely.
Catching the Burglar:
If you're lucky enough to catch Robin Banks in the act, several methods exist to stop her. You can call the police for a swift arrest, or take a more direct approach. Sims can physically fight Robin Banks, with fitter Sims having a higher chance of success.
Alternatively, utilize these specialized defenses:
- Dogs: Your canine companion will chase her away. (Requires The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
- Werewolves: Their intimidating presence will deter her. (Requires The Sims 4 Werewolves Game Pack)
- Spellcasters: Employ confusion spells or transformations. (Requires The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Game Pack)
- Servos: Utilize their defense matrix to immobilize her. (Requires The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack)
- Scientists: The Freeze Ray provides an effective immobilization tool. (Requires The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack)
