Burglars with the new Lot Challenges system?

Hello,

With the new EP comes a new Lot Challenge gameplay feature which allows you to enable various things to your lot. It's actually a base game feature but the different EP seem to come with their own Lot Challenges, such as "Wild Foxes" with Cottage Living.
When this Lot Challenge is enabled, a burglar fox might come into the chicken coop and steal chickens

I can't help but think: we're getting burglar foxes but not regular burglars? This Lot Challenge is actually the PERFECT opportunity to introduce them, and with that, people who don't want them won't necessarily have to deal with them, it's kind of a "checkbox to tailor your own gameplay" thing (remember when the sims team said "TS4 don't have burglars because it's a trigger to some people"? Here, solved) and it's actually pretty clever to make it into a gameplay feature instead of relegating it to a sub-menu.

Just look at him <3 https://twitter.com/AnotherPlumbob/status/1410639270080139271?s=20

    Burglars were awesome before. I wonder if they'll rework the system so that any kleptomaniac and anyone working in the criminal career could steal with a chance of getting caught? Not just NPCs. And cops could wander the streets around high crime areas.


    I think it would be good if they just work the kleptomaniacs in the burglary system. They need to be apprehended and disciplined. If you play a kleptomaniac sim and he gets caught he could spend some time in jail or do community work.

    Could work with abductions too


    Or maybe with fires -- a lot challenge that could involve more frequent fires.

    I noticed many of the previous lot traits were moved to lot challenges -- things like filthy, grody, quake zone, volcanic activity, etc. You can go into each house into a neighborhood and give every one a certain lot trait; maybe they could have a High Crime lot challenge that would lower the value of a house, but in return you have an increased chance of burglars.

    We already have vampires breaking into our houses. Why not Burglars? Also, burglars ought to be base game.
