The Sims 4's latest update brings back a classic feature: the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks! This mischievous Sim makes nighttime appearances, attempting to pilfer valuable items from your Sims' homes. Here's how to deal with this unwelcome guest.
Robin Banks' visits are infrequent, but activating the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge significantly increases the chances of a break-in, though it also makes a successful getaway more likely.
Catching the Burglar:
If you're lucky enough to be awake during the heist, you have options. You can call the police for a swift arrest, a classic approach to dealing with this decades-old criminal. Alternatively, your Sim can engage Robin Banks directly in a physical confrontation. Fitter Sims have a clear advantage in this brawl.
Defensive Measures:
Beyond calling the authorities, several defensive strategies can deter or capture Robin Banks, depending on your installed game packs:
- Dogs: A loyal canine companion will chase the Burglar away. (Requires The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
- Werewolves: Their intimidating presence will scare Robin Banks off. (Requires The Sims 4 Werewolves Game Pack)
- Spellcasters: A range of spells, from confusion to transformations, are at their disposal. (Requires The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Game Pack)
- Servos: Their defense matrix can immobilize the Burglar. (Requires The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack)
- Scientists: The Freeze Ray provides a convenient way to incapacitate the thief. (Requires The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack)
- Vampires: A quick snack followed by an order to leave. (Requires The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack)
Remember to install the necessary game packs to utilize these defensive options. And that's how to handle Robin Banks in The Sims 4! For more Sims 4 tips, check out how to repair broken objects in the Blast from the Past event.
