Burglars Reintroduced in The Sims 4 Update
After a decade of tranquility, the world of The Sims is once again facing the threat of burglaries. In their latest blog post, The Sims 4 developers have announced an eagerly anticipated update, though not every player is thrilled about the prospect of their virtual homes being targeted by thieves.
As in the previous versions of the game, installing an alarm system remains a key defense against these unwanted visitors. Once activated, the alarm will promptly alert the police, who will rush to the player's home to apprehend the criminal. For those Sims with a knack for technology, upgrading the alarm system can enhance its reliability and enable it to automatically contact law enforcement. In the absence of an alarm, players have the option to manually call the police and hope for a timely response, or they might try a more unconventional approach by attempting to befriend the burglar.
For those looking for more creative solutions, the game offers several intriguing methods to deal with burglars, provided you have the right expansion packs. You can set your dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the intruder, or even use a special ray to freeze them in their tracks. These exotic countermeasures, however, require the corresponding expansion packs to be effective.
The good news is that the burglars update is now available to all players, and it's completely free. Whether you choose to protect your virtual home with an alarm system or explore more imaginative ways to handle the situation, the choice is yours in the ever-evolving world of The Sims 4.
