Burglars?!

Did anybody see SimErin's (I think) video about burglars possibly coming to the Sims 4? Could it be legit?

Edit: Basically, as I understand it, it's something on the patch notes that is causing the speculation.

    I don't think we need to get into an in-depth political discussion about this, but I strongly suspect that adding new gameplay related to calling the cops on someone is not something that the TS4 team would want to touch with a ten-foot pole right now.

    Just a burglar with an alarm would probably be a lot less sensitive, though. It's not something I personally have missed, but I guess a lot of people do?

    So burglars but no cops? I mean it would still be sooo exciting. I'm wondering if the patch notes are reliable in this case. I think in the past they have been true to what's come in the future, like kits.

    I think we will get burglars in a free update. I hope we also get a burglar stuff pack in summer with a burglar freelancer career.


    I think there was once an expansion survey that suggested thief as an active career, though if burglars do come to the sims in a free update i think it's more possible that an active career would be something a bit different than just a typical burglar. I would like more crime in the sims actually and I think they could make it work without raising the rating.


    I was thinking something along the lines of the paranormal investigator. I dont think I need a full fledged game pack about burglars.
  • If the rumours are true, I hope there’s an opt out button. I haven’t missed burglars and it’s been seven years! ?. Why do they wait so long and then add stuff in.

    It’s odd that all of the NPCs like the repo, nanny and repair service etc were left out in the base game launch only one by one to get added. I forget that NPCs are back after so long ??‍♂️.
