Stopping Robbers

I've had robbers come to my house on other games, but today, one showed up at my house while my sims were at a party (how convenient). They both have brave traits, and got home early enough to fight the robber, but unfortunately not early enough to stop them from taking their stuff. Is there a way to stop robbers if you don't have a sim with the "Brave" trait? Can you call the cops or something??? Please help.

  • Here are some options:

    1. Put 2 alarms on your property, one inside the house next to the front door, and the other outside your house on a wall, that way the robber won't be able to get into your house.
    2. If your Sims have the lucky trait, that will decrease the chances of a robber going to your house.
    3. (my favorite) If you have the Supernatural expansion pack, get a Bonehilda, if she sees a robber trying to get into your house, she won't let him enter the house and she will go after him to beat him up!

    I always do number 1. Thanks for number 2, I've never know that. I don't have SN. A favourite of mine is to reset the burgalar - then you just go into build/buy mode to get rid of the music and then come back to live mode. Quite cool.

    My sims have the lucky trait (the grandparents) and it's been more than 20 Sim years since I made them and their house has never been robbed. Recently their grandkids went to university, I didn't put the lucky trait on them. I had them stay in a house and bought them a Bonehilda to do the house chores. One day, they were out at a party and a burglar decided that he was bored so he thought it was a good idea to invade my house. As soon as he tried to get in, Bonehilda shut the door or is face immediately! Then she ran outside and started beating him up! I didn't know she could/would do that! I was so surprised she became right away my favorite NPC!

    If robbers are such a big problem , you can do at the bar (ctrl+shift+c) testingcheatsenabled true and then right click to the robber . It has the option to delete him or do resetsim (name) and he`ll leave !

    Thanks for everyone's help! Btw I started a new game a couple days ago and today a robber came to my house. Luckily, my girl sim had been sleeping, and woke up in a flash and totally beat up the robber. Her fiancé just stood there screaming, lol. :-) A couple days later in the game, the SAME ROBBER came in and stole a laptop. (You'd think he'd learned from the other time when Isabella beat him up.) However, he was going to steal more, but when he entered the main house, apparently they had a burglar alarm that I had no idea was there. The cops came to my house, totally beat up the guy, and took him away! I was so relieved, and hopefully there won't be any more robbers coming to my house. Just in case, I put burglar alarms all over the house. Thanks again for all of your helpful suggestions!
