Burglars? Haven't seen any

No burglars, thank goodness, and if they ever come back, one alarm had better cover the entire lot, I swear. :| Just the word burglar makes me think back to Sims 1 days when the lots looked awful because you had to have corner walls for the alarm to cover the lot.

Total waste of time back then, still would be now, imo.

I heard somewhere months ago that there are no plans to bring the burglar back because of some sort of real-life triggering events to it. I forgot if it was a Tweet or an article on the official Sims blog.

...Something something "players possibly triggered by these experiences IRL" something something...
It's a bummer, personally, but it is what it is I suppose.

good the burglar music in sims 2 was absolutely terrifying and scarred me for life lol

In my experience, The Sims 1 had a far more terrifying tune when the burglar appeared. :fearful: It still sends chills up my spine to this day.

Because they "trigger" people? That would explain a lot of really great things missing from the game now. It's a shame that they had to water it down because of some notion that people are too soft or thin skinned to handle burgles. But if they are so worried about "triggering" people then they should remove woohoo, take away the ability to make trans sims, no more fire period. Sims shouldn't get angry at all. Then you'd have to remove the juice bar, 'cause we all know what that is supposed to be.

Sims can get food poisoning. That could be a possible "trigger" as well. And we don't want sims to drown in pools. And pets dying, so traumatic. I'm not making light of these events IRL, because I'm sure many of us have gone through at least three of them at one time or another. But they can't (if they did say that) use that as an excuse. Because if the issue of "triggering" someone was so great, well then Sims 4 shouldn't even exist.

The Sims was great. Sims 2 was great. Loved it if your sim was to poor to afford a car alarm and the car got stolen. lol And the Sims 3 was great. I think they've forgotten that the game is a life simulator, so shouldn't it have all those things still in it?

(How do i post videos here lol)

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.

I'd rather have burglars.

Or the Unsavory Charlatan again.

Yeah the Charlatan was kinda fun but not burglars. If they came back I hope there is a way to shut them off.

If they gave burglars an off switch, that means they can also put in one for vampires too. Of course it's not like I want my vampires off.

Well yes but Vampire game pack is optional, if you dont like them you simply do not buy the Game Pack. My point is if they get patched in the game I hope they can be switched off or at least be very rare and not rob every house...

And then you have those who bought the game pack but didn't want the vampires in it...
