The burglar makes a comeback in The Sims 4, marking a significant update after a decade of fan requests. This beloved character, known as Robin Banks, returns as part of a free update released on February 25, 2025.
Players can now experience the thrill of having their Sims‘ possessions at risk once more. The burglar operates at night, creating opportunities for players to call the police for assistance. To enhance security, Sims can purchase and upgrade burglar alarms.
In this update, there are 50 unique reactions Sims can exhibit when confronted by the burglar. Options range from attempting to fight her to using a freeze ray. Additionally, players have the chance to befriend Robin, potentially adding her to their household.
Compatibility with previous expansions adds depth to gameplay. For example, owning the Cats and Dogs expansion allows players to utilize dogs to chase away the burglar. Other characters, such as werewolves and vampires, can also interact with Robin in unique ways.
This update aligns with a broader trend of increasing interactivity in The Sims 4, as seen with the upcoming Businesses and Hobbies expansion set to release on March 6, 2025. Players can expect more engaging content that builds on previous expansions.
