Careful, Simmers! Robin Banks, the infamous Burglar, is back in The Sims 4!
Longtime fans of the Sims franchise will recognize Robin Banks, the mischievous thief making a comeback in the latest game update for PC and consoles. Prepare to safeguard your Sims' valuables! While she typically targets homes at night while everyone sleeps, she's known to attempt daring daylight heists, so keep a watchful eye.
To deter this notorious criminal, Sims can utilize the burglar alarm. Triggering the alarm guarantees a swift police response, leading to Robin's arrest and the recovery of stolen goods. However, even without an alarm, calling the police remains an option—though speed is crucial. Of course, vigilante justice is always on the table. The choice is yours!
Burglary events are designed to be relatively infrequent, but for those who crave chaos, activating the "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge significantly increases the likelihood of a visit from Robin Banks.
The Sims team expressed their excitement about bringing the Burglar back, noting that Robin Banks is "here to steal your hearts too!" This nostalgic addition serves as a fitting tribute to The Sims' 25th anniversary.
Despite being a decade old, The Sims 4 continues to thrive, attracting over 15 million new players last year alone. EA's Q2 earnings report highlighted the game's remarkable growth, transitioning from a premium title to free-to-play in 2022, resulting in a staggering 31 million new players and a total player base exceeding 85 million by May 2024. For now, however, plans for The Sims 5 remain firmly under wraps.
