Do You Want Burglary Back?

Nope, this is definitely one of those things I really don't miss.

I made the poll bc I'm of two minds abt this. I really did love the added tension of not know if my sims things were 100 percent safe, but I was also pretty annoyed when actually happened. I think I would like the burglary event back if they did give the option of calling the cops, buying an home alarm in Build Mode, or straight up fighting the burglar. But I'm also thinking abt how buggy vampires can be, like how they sometimes show up at public venues, trapping you there. I honestly have no idea if I actually would want it back or not.

I wouldn’t use the word stress even though in reality it’s a highly stressful event. But I will always vote for the return of the burglar as they are an iconic sims NPC and the game badly needs consequence that isn’t a moodlet.

Yes. I miss seeing the burglar and police officer fight in the Attack interaction LOL This goes all the way back to Sims 1 even.

I want them back

I'm fine either way really. they are a classic too. ideally we'd have some way to deal with them when they do show up.

A Sims game is not complete without burglars.

I used to say I want burglars. But yesterday my husband's bike was stolen. It was locked and inside of our house. It was just a bike but I don't feel safe anymore. Since that happened I am not sure whether I want burglars or not...

I found the burglars in TS3 upsetting - but I miss these kind of events in TS4. Your sim is being robbed of the brand new fridge they were just able to afford? Too bad. Your sim forgot to pay their bills and the repo-man is coming to ruin their day? Get over it! Your sim died in a meteor shower? That's (simulated) life!
Obviously these things should not happen all the time, but without any risk the game is a lot less fun - at least to me.

Well, why not? Maybe my criminal Sims can have an active career as well..
