How To Find & Catch the Burglar (Robin Banks) in The Sims 4

The Sims 4's latest update brings back a classic: the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks! This nocturnal thief targets valuable household items. Learn how to catch her in this guide.

Robin Banks only appears at night, making her a challenging adversary. While infrequent, the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge increases her chances of visiting your Sim's home, though it also makes a successful getaway more likely.

Catching Robin Banks:

If you're lucky enough to be awake during her heist, you have options. Calling the police is always an effective method. However, for a more direct approach, your Sim can engage Robin Banks in a fight. Fitter Sims have a greater advantage.

Alternatively, utilize these specialized defenses:

• Dogs: A canine companion will chase her away. (Requires: Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
• Werewolves: Their intimidating presence can deter her. (Requires: Werewolves Game Pack)
• Spellcasters: Employ confusion spells or transformations. (Requires: Realm of Magic Game Pack)
• Servos: Use their defense matrix to immobilize her. (Requires: Discover University Expansion Pack)
• Scientists: The Freeze Ray provides a quick solution. (Requires: Get to Work Expansion Pack)
• Vampires: A quick snack, followed by an order to leave, is always an option. (Requires: Vampires Game Pack)

Install a Burglar Alarm for added protection. This comprehensive approach ensures your Sim's valuables remain safe.

The Sims 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
