I used to think liking the burglars was an unpopular opinion until I looked for mods of them. I ended up seeing how many simmers wanted them back. Then I wondered, “why did they even disappear in the first place? They’ve always been a part of the sims franchise!”

Upon research, the burglars apparently triggered anxiety in some players. … Excuse me? DEATH triggers anxiety in ALL players, so why not remove that? It takes excitement away and makes the sims less of a life simulator. In that case, EA, please remove thunderstorms because I have a horrible phobia of thunder and lightning.

It’s a little ridiculous... Yes, I sincerely do have an intense fear of thunder and lightning. Is EA now going to go and take thunderstorms away too because I expressed my common fear? No, it really did freak me out a lot when lightning blasted near my house. So, why not make an off setting like they have for thunderstorms?

Who else misses burglars?

That is false and has been confirmed to be false for years now.

They just haven't added them. It's as simple as that.

Thank you for your input, I was unaware of that. I’ve only ever seen articles backing the anxiety statement. Is it just their decision not to? Or do you know if there’s a different reason?

The statement was spread by some random person claiming that they know someone who works there. Then I think the devs said that it's not the reason and they just haven't added it yet. The main reason is likely that they just haven't had an opportunity to add them. A lot of features get added because of a pack related to it. Like how gardening and cooking for kids got added in the patch before CoL. So a lot of features are not 'impossible' they just haven't had the opportunity to add them to the game.
