    From their sneaky walking animation to their preference to steal toilets and expensive TVs: Burglars.
    Where are the burglars in this game? They used to be in TS1, TS2 + TS3. Will they be added in a Patch?

      all in jail because our detective sims are just so good :p I'm sure they will come eventually, I'm more wondering what can be made to make them better as the ones in older iterations

      I'm even happy if they at least are the same as in all the previous games.

      YAS, I really miss the little jerks honestly.

      Hope they expand a bit more on them too. If not that's fien too I just miss them because it always added irritation and challenge to my sims life.
      O
      Kinda hope that when they do they'll add onto the detective career like if they get a call they can go to the a sims house to arrest a burglar. Oooh, or if they make the crime career a bit more hands on where you can sneak into sims homes and steal from them now that would be pretty awesome indeed.

      I seriously talk about this all the time. Maxis has almost everything they need to introduce burglars.

      We have:
      • Kleptomaniac Sims, so the game can draw burglars from a pool of Sims with the correct trait (our own Sims won't break in unless we make them Kleptos)
      • "Steal item" animations
      • Police uniforms
      • "Arrest" animations
      • The ability for Sims to break into our houses while our Sims are sleeping (looking at you, Vladislaus Straud)
      • Lot traits, so we can choose whether or not to allow burglars at all ("Bad Neighborhood" to enable burglars or increase their frequency, "Neighborhood Watch" to disable them outright or make them less common)

      The only thing we lack are police cars (because, let's face it, watching the burglar and cop simply walk off the lot, instead of having them thrown in the back of the car and driven off, would be incredibly anti-climactic). I could live without police cars, but I don't know if I'd want to.

      Burglars are a fun thing still missing in The Sims 4. It also adds to TS4's slogan "Weirder stories" (e.g. Burglar stealing a toilet)

      If they add burglars again, I hope it's not just some random NPC. I have sims in the criminal career track. That is something they would absolutely do. However, I don't want it to be like with vampires being able to break into your house at night, as in it happens all the time, like alien abductions used to.

      Add burglars back to TS4 via patch, adding the possibility for, who have Get To Work, go to a sim house, where is the burglar and we could arrest he. This would be awesome

      I loved your idea. I hope that SimGurus see your comment.

      I don't see why it's taking so long.

      Maybe they'll come in the Family pack?
      Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

      Of course, after I just finish building 5 $1 million mansions that's when I add Thieves... I wonder if they'll hop the fence because my estates are gated in, only group members and family have access to each others homes.

      I know it's promo art but at the end it's the picture of the burglar coming through a window. I don't want to assume windows can now open... I'm hoping.

      Because I believe Vampires Use "Mist form" to Break in or the mesmerize the sim or something to let them in.

      I'm just trying to imagine it.

      First thing that's going to happen is I'm going to take burglars into cas.fulleditmode, and changing that ugly striped sweater.

      I wonder what the specifics will be. I'm hoping there is a certain worth level of your lot that will attract a thief.

      Biggest question: Can babies-Children be stolen? >:)
