EA and Maxis finally gave it The Sims 4 In new updates available on all platforms, it's own thief. The Theft Update of The Sims 4 is in line with the new launch Business and hobby expansionalthough you don't have to buy new packages to get the thief. If you have some other extensions, this is a free update to the basic game.
Maxis included a thief in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, but has never been in The Sims 4 until now. Robin Banks is a new version of the crime mastermind, and it behaves nearly the same way as it did in previous iterations. Robin has little chance of entering your residential or commercial lot at night, and she has the potential to have anything attached to the structure (such as windows or lights) inside, or not planted on the ground, like your bushes. The update also adds a new challenge, robbery damage, which increases the likelihood of Robin’s appearance.
The Sims may wake up, catch Robin, and call the police before her property is signed, although there is no guarantee that the police will arrive before Robin escapes. Maxis said the only sure way to stop the thief is to install an alarm, which alerts police immediately after Robin enters the location. A good Sim with hands in hand can upgrade the alarm to prevent it from breaking frequently, and can even be modified to release charges and hit the thief. If your sims are more inclined to you, they can also fight Robin, although they may lose if they are in poor health.
A few other Sims 4 extensions include unique interactions for thieves. For example, if you have a cat and dog packaging and have a dog at home, they might drive Robin out. The Vampire Sims can turn Robin into a th thorn and order her to leave, while scientists from the “start” work package can use frozen rays to stop Robin. Unplayable Sims, such as Agnes Crumplebottom in the Cabin Life Pack, will have their own way to deal with Robin.
Finally, Maxs says the Sims 4 sees Robin as another special NPC. You can make friends with her and add her to your family, and if she is with you or dies, another universal thief will create and pick up her criminal acts.
