How To Find & Catch the Burglar (Robin Banks) in The Sims 4

The Sims 4's latest update brings back a classic: the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks! This nocturnal thief targets Sims' homes, attempting to steal valuables. Learn how to catch her and protect your Sim's possessions.

Robin Banks only appears at night. While her appearances are infrequent, activating the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge increases the chances of a visit – and also makes alarms more likely to malfunction, aiding her escape.

Catching the Burglar:

If you're lucky enough to be awake during her heist, several methods exist to apprehend her. Calling the police is always an option. However, for a more direct approach, Sims can engage Robin Banks in a fight. Fitter Sims have a higher chance of success.

Alternatively, utilize these protective measures:

• Dogs: A canine companion will chase her away. (Requires: The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
• Werewolves: Their intimidating presence can deter Robin Banks. (Requires: The Sims 4 Werewolves Game Pack)
• Spellcasters: Various spells, from confusion to transformations, are at their disposal. (Requires: The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Game Pack)
• Servos: Their defense matrix can immobilize her. (Requires: The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack)
• Scientists: The Freeze Ray provides a quick solution. (Requires: The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack)
• Vampires: A quick snack followed by an expulsion order. (Requires: The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack)

Adding a Burglar Alarm also enhances your defenses. Master these strategies to safeguard your Sims' belongings from Robin Banks' midnight raids!
