Sims 4 Reintroduces Burglar with Free Update

EA brings back the fan-favorite burglar feature, Robin Banks, in a free base game update, marking the franchise's 25th anniversary.

  • The burglar, a long-requested feature absent from The Sims 4 since its 2014 launch, returns with the February 25th free update.
  • Robin Banks, the new burglar NPC, sneaks into homes at night to steal valuables, with Sims able to respond by calling the police or using upgraded burglar alarms.
  • Players with specific expansions gain unique ways to counter burglaries, such as werewolves intimidating Robin or scientists using freeze rays.
  • The update includes over 50 unique reactions to burglaries and introduces the Heist Havoc Lot Challenge, which increases burglary frequency and adds false alarms.
  • Robin Banks can be befriended or added to households, with new burglars automatically generated if she dies or moves in.
