Burglars never appear (Sims Legacy)
Burglars don't seem to be working in this version of the game. I'll often hear the audio sting at night, but no one appears (sometimes it's the raccoon of course but other time it's nothing at all). ...

The burglar appearing and then immediately disappearing is an old bug from Unleashed that never got patched. It's caused by several invisible background controller items that are are flagged incorrectly so the thief "steals" them and then immediately de-spawns.
I saved a fix for it here (Disappearing Thief Fix folder), among several other fixes for unpatched bugs in the complete collection. If you put the replacement NPCController.iff file in the GameData\Objects folder it will fix the issue.

I appreciate the fixes! I noticed some of them don't say where to place the files, such as the Racoon animation fix, and the Kids prepare quick meals and All Stereo Stations.
I updated the notes for the ones that didn't have any instructions where they go.
Thank you very much! So far I have been enjoying these fixes. Only one so far I noticed not working is the disappearing bandit. For some reason he still disappears for me :(
Ohh thanks a lot, I love that the thief appears but sometimes the music plays and he doesn't appear, as indicated here.
As soon as I get home I'll try your file.
The problem of hearing the sound and not seeing the thief has been happening since I started using memory back in 2000 in the original game jajajaja.thank you for all the fixings...just put them all in my game cant wait to try them all out and finally finally see that darn burglar lol not been since install the games in january.
