The Sims 4, a game that’s constantly evolving, recently reintroduced a classic element from its earlier iterations: the burglar! For those feeling a nostalgic pang, Robin Banks is back, bringing a touch of mischievous mayhem to your Sims' lives.
This nocturnal visitor, active only during the night, will attempt to pilfer valuable items from your Sims' homes. While not a frequent occurrence, you can increase the chances of a visit by enabling the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge. Be warned, this also makes alarms more prone to malfunction, potentially aiding Robin's escape.
