After a decade of tranquility, the peaceful world of The Sims is once again under threat from burglars ready to strike! In a recent blog post, The Sims 4 developers unveiled an eagerly anticipated update, though not every player is thrilled about the prospect of their virtual homes being targeted.
As with earlier versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a key defense against these unwelcome intruders. When activated, it swiftly alerts the police, who rush to the scene to apprehend the criminal. For those Sims skilled in handiwork, upgrading the alarm system not only reduces the chance of it malfunctioning but also enables it to automatically notify law enforcement. Without an alarm, players can still try calling the police themselves, hoping they arrive in the nick of time, or they might even attempt to befriend the burglar to dissuade them from their criminal intentions.
For those looking for more unconventional methods to thwart burglars, The Sims 4 offers several creative solutions. Players can set their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the intruder, or even freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray. However, these unique tactics are only accessible to those who have purchased the relevant expansion packs.
The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost, adding a new layer of challenge and excitement to the game.
