Beloved Sims Character Joins The Sims 4

The Burglar is back, and this time, she’s bringing mischief to The Sims 4. If you’ve played any of the older Sims games, you’ll recognize Robin Banks, the notorious intruder who’s been re-introduced in the latest update. Available on both PC and consoles, her return adds an element of unpredictability to your Sims’ lives. Keep your valuables safe—she tends to strike under the cover of darkness, though she’s not above attempting a daring raid even when your Sims are wide awake. Stay sharp!

To keep her at bay, Sims can install a burglar alarm. Trigger it, and the police will swoop in to apprehend her and retrieve stolen items. Even without an alarm, swift action can summon law enforcement. Or, if you’re feeling bold, take matters into your own hands—vigilante justice is always an option.

The Burglar’s arrival marks a nostalgic yet fresh addition to The Sims 4, celebrating the game’s 25th anniversary. As the team notes, “Robin Banks isn’t just ready to rob your Sims’ houses—she’s here to steal your hearts too!”

For those who thrive on chaos, enable the Lot Challenge Heist Havoc to increase the frequency of burglaries. By design, these events remain rare, but this tweak ensures there’s always a chance for excitement.

Despite being a decade old, The Sims 4 continues to captivate audiences. Last year, it welcomed over 15 million new players. Since going free-to-play in 2022, it’s amassed a staggering 85 million players, proving its enduring appeal. For now, there are no plans for The Sims 5. In the meantime, enjoy the antics of Robin Banks—and stay one step ahead!
