The Sims 4's latest update brings back a notorious character: the Burglar, Robin Banks! A familiar face from older Sims games, she's making a comeback to wreak havoc on your Sims' homes.
This update, available on PC and consoles, allows Robin to target your Sims' possessions, primarily during nighttime hours while everyone sleeps. However, be warned – she's daring enough to attempt heists even when your Sims are awake.
To protect your Sims' valuables, utilize the burglar alarm. Triggering the alarm guarantees a timely police response, leading to Robin's arrest and the recovery of stolen items. Alternatively, you can call the police yourself, though speed is crucial. Or, unleash your Sim's inner vigilante – the choice is yours!
Burglary events are designed to be relatively infrequent, but for those craving chaos, the "Lot Challenge Heist Havoc" option significantly increases the likelihood of a visit from Robin Banks.
The Sims team expressed their excitement about Robin's return, highlighting her potential to both rob and charm your Sims. This nostalgic addition perfectly complements The Sims franchise's 25th anniversary celebration.
Despite being a decade old, The Sims 4 continues to thrive, attracting over 15 million new players last year alone. EA's Q2 earnings report revealed the game's remarkable growth, transitioning from a premium title to free-to-play in 2022, resulting in a massive surge of 31 million new players and a total player base exceeding 85 million by May 2024. Currently, there are no announcements regarding The Sims 5.
