My household just got the burglar event trigger (not by cheats and not using the lot challenge), and to my surprise, the sim that showed up is some randomly generated NPC, not Robin Banks (who I was ...

Are you all playing on pre-patch games or did you start a new one after the patch ? Did the burglary happen as expected besides the burglar not being Robin ?
Also are you guys using mods/cc ? Which platform are you on ?
I play on PC, my save game was pre existing the patch, and I had removed and then updated my mods (I just use ui cheats and mccc)
My save game is pre-patch, and I play on PC (Dell Latitude 5520, Windows 10); and yes, I'm using mods/cc. I also backup The Sims 4 document folder on the Desktop before updating the game on Steam.
PC due to mods/cc. Was a game save pre-patch, game patched still played same save. updated mods asap - mccc, ui cheats, I also use Better Exceptions as it can catch more errors than MCCC often does. Otherwise, only CC I use is Costumes and some buildbuy objects; is mostly Mass Effect related ones. Waiting for the new expansion to see if the costumes break a bit further or not.
I put the Heist Havoc lot trait on, have alarm on wall too. First burglary; Burglar didn't even get to the front door before panicking - hadn't noticed the alarm triggered; looked more like they'd gotten scarred of the new puppy and kitten 😆. Second or third time, same burglar tried to steal the unbreakable fridge. Had my occult Alien Officer sim go confront, don't really have much options despite his already being a Police Officer himself. Had to use the alien power of Erase Memory to get the fridge back.
Not sure but think with the lot trait, Burglar can visit any time not just at night/midnight?
