Household Sim turns into burglar triggering burglar event

My household Sims in Brindleton Bay, are atonomusly turning into burglars and setting off the home alarm, which starts ringing and I get the pop up that says  the police will arrive soon, but there is actually no burglar because my Sim changes back into regular clothes and I am stuck on the lot, the game says there is an action happening and I can't leave, it's happened to me twice on two separate lots in Brindleton Bay.

  • Could you please provide the following information

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox)
    • Do they have a burglar tag above them or just trigger the alarm/burglary event
  • The same thing has been happening to me. Does it mean my save is corrupted? I moved my sims out, bulldozed the lot, moved someone else in, then my sims back in and I was able to get rid of it, but it happened again. & this time it followed my sims to a different lot. It has stopped my gameplay twice- not sure how to proceed.

    Hi crinrict​ 

    I am using mods. I play on Mac. I had removed the alarm pad and it was still happening. Disallowing burglaries in the game options menu resolved the issue for me. 

    I had previously gone through removing mods/cc and various tests, and it still came back.

    Thanks!

    How did you remove your mods/cc ? Did you move them all to the desktop, deleted the localthumbcache file and still had it happen (newly) ?

    Also:

    I would love if this would stop happening in my game. I can't figure out when or why it happens so I can't prevent it from happening. I have to exit to the menu & lose all my progress if it doesn't stop. Disabling the burglar visit in the middle of the event does nothing, it still just loops & won't stop. Please fix this.
