After a peaceful decade, the world of The Sims is once again facing the thrill and challenge of burglars ready to rob their virtual homes. In a recent blog post, the developers of The Sims 4 unveiled an eagerly awaited update that reintroduces these crafty criminals into the game. While not every player is thrilled at the prospect of being robbed, the update promises a dynamic new element to gameplay.
As with previous versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a key defense against burglars. When triggered, it alerts the police, who will swiftly arrive to apprehend the intruder. For those Sims with a knack for technology, upgrading the alarm system can enhance its reliability and even automate the police call. In the absence of an alarm, players can still call the police manually, though timing is crucial. Another intriguing option is to attempt befriending the burglar, adding a social twist to the encounter.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to thwart burglars, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the intruder, or even use a special freezing ray to immobilize them. These exotic defenses add a layer of excitement and strategy to dealing with burglars.
The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost, enhancing the gameplay experience with this free update.
