If the burglar has stolen heirloom objects, will the sims be emotionally affected by this loss ?

Can these objects be recovered by buying them on the web ?

Oooh! That's good to know! Glad they  made sure to not forget about that feature in GTW. Feels like it gives my sim detective and officers more purpose now.

Nice! Love that they, and the police, have returned. Special appreciation for including the playable detectives. That's exactly what I'd hoped for. ❤️

That said, can we please turn up Vampire break-ins and allow them to actually get into the house to feed on Sims in the night like they used to when the pack first released? We've got the special door ban for them now, so it would be nice to actually see this happen sometimes. 😢

Are they not often a thing in your game?

My sims seem to get three vampire break-in's a week. Had one back to back on two nights and my sim was just in a all around bad mood continuously.

Oh cool! I knew it had to have something to do with burglars. Also the patch note link is giving a 404 page when you click on it.

The burglar design is in tune with what inspired a lot of the really random, chaotic NPC Sims since the beginning of the franchise: Old school cartoons and films. Think Looney Tunes, Tex Avery and Tom and Jerry. Prison uniforms and burglars were prone to the horizontal black and white stripes in the "old days". There are a lot of Easter eggs and nods to these cartoonish references in the first game and this has continued in various ways, though less recognizable to later generations due to the world trying to become more aware of harmful stereotypes in regards to race and gender norms, mental health, equality for all and so forth. 

Thankfully for Simmers who want more control over their games, the Sims 4 has far more options for those who don't want surprises, added chaos or just certain "difficulties" to their gameplay. The possible deaths in the game are far less out of the blue because the game makes them harder to actually achieve or gives actual warnings to allow the player to choose to leave it be or save their beloved Sim. You should hopefully be able to find options that work for you.

Would be so super awesome💖

Yeah, for some reason they took it down. Should be back up shortly.

How are things like CC/mods since this update?

I'm SO glad the burglars are as in-depth as they are. Didn't expect a new tip-toe and stealing animation or even specific music for them because it's a free update after all. 

Also, really cool that they brought back the police npc, and that you actually have to work toward upgrading the alarm to have it automatically call them. 

THIS is the kind of unexpected events I'm looking for when playing The Sims, really great addition overall :)
