I wonder, should i place a burglar alarm at the front door? Will it not work, or what will happen?

In sims 2, you had to do moveobjects on to place the alarm outside. I typically place the alarm outside myself as it is more efficient.

I always place the burglar alarm on the outside of the house. It works just fine. I do this for all of my Sims, but it is especially helpful for those households where the Sims do not have the 'Brave' trait. If your home has two doors add an alarm to both. If you have an alarm on the front door only, the burglar will come into the house via the backdoor, sneak through the house, just to go out the front door to trip the alarm. The garage door is the only door the burglar cannot go through.

I remember reading on the forum here about someone placing a burglar alarm outside to keep the burglars from stealing their Sims car(s). That's something I never thought about doing before so initially I thought it was a little silly as burglars rarely ever stole cars in my game. Until the time it actually happened...And I was furious! :rage: Dang burglar got away with it too cause my sim waking up and calling the cops took too long. Then the cops got mad at my sim for calling in a "false alarm" cause the burglar was long gone with their precious car by the time they showed up!! Yeah. Furious.So now I place burglar alarms inside AND outside my active Sim's homes. :star: Another time a burglar came back to steal the car, NOPE, the alarm went off outside! Ha ha! (He was actually stealing the pergola the car was parked under. :joy: Which almost made me fall out of my chair laughing, but that's beside the point... ;) )But yeah it's totally ok to place them outside. Take THAT you stupid burglars! I hate you anyway... (Seriously, I loathe them! And I'm seriously considering modding them out.)Anyway! :mrgreen:

I have never not put my burglar alarm outside. I didn’t know it was a thing not too! (Sims 2 doesn’t let you) but in sims 1 &3 it goes outside.

Don’t worry, I’ve talked to my psychiatrist about that…he says it’s normal. ?

I always place burglar alarms outside. I don't want burglars disturbing my game play. I don't need the fun.

You can only place them if there is space available to place an object. If it can't be placed I use MoveObjects On cheat and place the alarm then turn the cheat off. MoveObjects Off.
