After a decade of tranquility, the world of The Sims is once again under threat as burglars return to prowl the neighborhoods. The Sims 4 developers have announced this exciting yet nerve-wracking update in their latest blog, stirring a mix of anticipation and apprehension among players.
To combat these new intruders, players can rely on familiar defenses from previous games. Installing an alarm system remains a top strategy. Once activated, it will alert the police, who will swiftly arrive to apprehend the criminal. For those Sims with a knack for technology, upgrading the alarm system can enhance its reliability and enable automatic police notification. In the absence of an alarm, players can still call the police directly, though they'll need to hope for a timely response. Another option is to attempt to befriend the burglar, turning a potential foe into a friend.
For those looking for more unconventional methods, The Sims 4 offers creative solutions, albeit requiring specific expansion packs. Players can unleash their dogs, spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves on the burglars, or even use a special freezing ray to immobilize them. These exotic defenses add a thrilling layer of strategy to dealing with the criminal element.
The good news is that this burglars update is now available to all players at no additional cost, ensuring everyone can experience the excitement and challenge of protecting their Sims' homes.
