Is there a mod or some other way to completely prevent burglars from trying to break in? I know I can put a burglar alarm, but that doesn't stop them from trying to come in my house and waking up my sims. I don't want them to appear on my lot at all, if that's possible. The last time one tried to break in, I shift clicked him and deleted him, but I'm afraid it might corrupt my game if I do that too much. I stopped playing the sims 3 because of the burglars because don't like anything bad/unexpected happening to my sims. I really want to play again though. Is there any way to prevent the burglars?

If you get NRAAS MasterController mod you can totally annihilate sims without worrying about leaving stuff behind. Shift Click Delete just removes their body, the sim is still in the game you just can't see them and you can't make them visible by adding clothes.NRAAS Story Progression may allow you to get rid of burglars. You'll find useful info herehttp://nraas.wikispaces.com/search/view/burglars

You can place the alarm on an exterior wall.The further from the bedrooms the better ... Even on the exterior wall of an unconnected garage can work.If you build a gatehouse at the entrance of your property ... You can put it on a wall there.When the alarm goes off ... It's not inside the house..

It does require a mod to suppress the burglar scenario entirely, but sorry StoryProgression has nothing to do with it and the NRaas search page isn't really going to help in this case. Deleting the burglar sim no matter how it's done won't help either because the game will just keep creating new ones to replace them in the service pool for next time.If not averse to using mods though, NRaas Retuner can be used to set the Chance of Burglar down to 0 which should prevent the scenario from ever firing.

OP need the Retuner path to turn it off. I can try to find it if someone doesn't already know what it might be under.. I still have a hard time finding certain things with Retuner. I know I've tuned the burglar setting in my game game through Retuner but I don't remember the path off the top of my head.

Thank you, thank you, thank you @igazor! I only recently installed Retuner at your suggestion and, thanks to your answers to people on the forum, am learning new tricks with it every day (well, almost every day ;) ). @SimplyJen I will keep my eye on this thread in case you do find the path as I do find Retuner to be very confusing. Thank you :)

@igazor It would seem Retuner is not infallible - I just had a burglar!

I'm sure there's a really good explanation for that (though I don't know what it is offhand). You sure it wasn't a Trick or Treater or a Paparazzi who happened to be wearing stripes and a stylish face mask?

But you can ask for your money back on the mod if you like. :p

Fortunately I was able to reset the burglar before he woke my family. I quickly checked my Retuner settings and found that I did, indeed, have it set to 0 but I might check out some of the other options under Burglar and see if anything else might need tweaking as well.

Recently, 2 burglars on shifts visit almost every night, I guess they enjoy visiting more because one of my house member is working at Law Enforcement career. :D Also he always enjoys fighting against the burglars as well. I don't place burglar alarm on purpose to see the fighting every night. LOL

Hey there,

Since this thread had been inactive since 2018 and had come to a natural conclusion, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.
