"How to Catch Robin Banks in The Sims 4: Burglar Guide"

The beloved franchise, *The Sims 4*, has seen numerous updates and expansions over the years, and occasionally, nostalgia takes the wheel, bringing back cherished features from past games. One such classic element making a return is the Burglar, now known as Robin Banks, reintroduced in the February 25, 2025, update. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to find and catch this notorious character in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find the Burglar in The Sims 4

A familiar face from earlier *Sims* titles, the Burglar Sim, has returned to prowl the streets of *The Sims 4*. Robin Banks will only appear in the dead of night, sneaking into homes to pilfer valuable possessions before anyone can react. While her appearances are rare, players can increase her chances of targeting their home by activating the new Lot Challenge called Heist Havoc. This not only ups the probability of a break-in but also causes alarms to malfunction, making it easier for Robin to escape with her loot.

If your Sims are alert enough to catch Robin Banks in the act, there are several methods to apprehend her. The simplest approach is to call the police, who are now back in *The Sims 4* and eager to arrest this long-elusive criminal. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, Sims can confront Robin directly, with fitter Sims having a higher chance of success in the ensuing scuffle.

• Scientists with the *Get to Work Expansion Pack* can deploy a Freeze Ray to stop her in her tracks.
