Burglars? Haven't seen any

I honestly miss the burglars in the sims. It added a challenge when things didn't go as planned for my sims. ):

What adult themed content could burglars possibly have?
Previous games had burglars and it stayed on T. Right now, vampires can break in to drink sims and The Sims 4 is still rated T.
If burglars could do harm to sims like murder them, it would raise the rating. If it's just to steal stuff and sims can get them away or call police, no it won't. Yes, they had scary music with them, but it doesn't make The Sims into a horror game.

@Sigzy05 Yes, but this is a game for children too so maybe It can´t be too scary because of kids. So I thought that villains/heroes would be softer...
@Nectere, thanks for the tip, I have been lurking at that thread and it´s on my list of challenges to try :smile:

First, this game isn't for kids. It's for Teens though. That's supposedly the targeted demographic. Also, when I was a kid I saw burglars on cartoons, so....that's silly.

I'm pretty sure most kids would find it silly, I mean have you seen the burglar costumes from past games? It's meant to be like a pin up robber from cartoons with a mask and a stripe black and white shirt. It's not a guy with a covered head and a gun doing property damage, taking hostages and shooting sims. People take things to seriously and put it on the kids. Honestly the music is more scary than the burglar itself but that's suppose to scare the player.

They'd probably look like this (it's fan art)

Not in Russia reportedly because of the same sex couple relations sims can have.

Burglars has been a thing in pretty much all Sims franchise and now because they believed it's triggering, they took it out.
-eyeroll-
Sorry but vampires breaking in don't trigger these people then?
It's getting dumbed down at this point.

The only thing scary about burglars when I was a kid was the stinger music in The Sims 1. Otherwise they're very comical. I agree that they're meant to look cartoonish, like the ones I saw on TV as a kid. And I do like the unpredictability that burglars introduce to the game, so I hope they come back this year. (And fine, a toggle switch as well for those who don't want them)

Hey all I've done a quick clean-up of the thread. On this please don't bash others or their opinions and please aim to discuss the topic rather than people.

I never liked burglars, they are annoying because they came almost every household and just woke everyone up and did the same thing every time. But I think it would be cool to have some kind of villains in the game. Maybe even a superhero/villain pack for creating either villain or a hero. Both of them could have their own power path for character creation.

Fantastic suggestion imo ! That's great feedback @Jadeleine :)

I would love superheros and comicbook stuff

@EgonVM , My comment was in regard to someone stating that children play this game and it may be too scary for them. Well, this game isn't directed towards children being a Teen rating. I'm all for burglars, don't get me wrong. I was just trying to point out the obvious.
@paradiseplanet, I see that in Russia the game is rated "mature".

I'd like to see the return of burglars although my sims live in a haunted house with maid service the maid likes to steal tablets and the ghost likes to steal spoiled food late at night.
