After a peaceful decade in the world of The Sims, the thrill of unexpected chaos is back with the return of burglars! In a recent blog post, The Sims 4 developers have announced an exciting, albeit nerve-wracking, update. While some players might not be thrilled about the prospect of home invasions, the update promises to add a new layer of strategy and excitement to the game.
Just like in previous versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains your first line of defense against these crafty criminals. Once triggered, the police will swiftly respond to your home and apprehend the intruder. For those Sims with a knack for technology, upgrading the alarm system can make it more reliable and even automate the police call for added security. If you find yourself without an alarm, you can still call the police manually, though timing is crucial to catch the burglar in the act. Another intriguing option is to try and befriend the burglar, turning a potential foe into a friend.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to deal with burglars, The Sims 4 offers some creative solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. You can set your loyal dogs on the intruder, or if you're into the supernatural, use spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves to fend off the criminal. There's even a special ray that can freeze burglars in their tracks, adding a humorous twist to home security.
The good news is that this burglars update is already available and completely free, ensuring that all players can experience the thrill and challenge of protecting their Sims' homes from these unwelcome visitors.
