This Fan-Favorite Sims Character Is Finally Making an Appearance in The Sims 4

Careful, Simmers! Robin Banks, the infamous Burglar, is back in The Sims 4!

A familiar face from older Sims games, Robin Banks is making a stealthy return in the latest update for The Sims 4, available now on PC and consoles. Get ready to safeguard your Sims' valuables! She typically operates under the cover of night, targeting homes while everyone sleeps, but don't be fooled—she's known to attempt heists even when Sims are awake. Stay vigilant!

To deter this cunning thief, equip your home with a burglar alarm. Triggering the alarm guarantees a swift police response, leading to Robin's arrest and the recovery of your stolen goods. Alternatively, Sims can call the police themselves, though speed is key. Or, if you prefer a more direct approach… well, vigilante justice is always an option.

"We're thrilled to bring the Burglar back to The Sims universe," the Sims team announced. "A huge thanks to our team for making this happen! Robin Banks isn't just here to rob your Sims' houses—she's here to steal your hearts too! What better way to celebrate The Sims 25th anniversary than with this nostalgic yet fresh addition? We hope you're as excited as we are to see the chaos Robin Banks brings to your households!"

Despite being ten years old (The Sims 4, that is), and with the franchise itself celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Sims 4 continues to thrive. Last year alone, it attracted over 15 million new players.

EA's Q2 earnings report revealed that The Sims 4, initially a premium title, took four years to reach 20 million unique players. However, its transition to free-to-play in 2022 resulted in a staggering 31 million new players immediately, reaching a total of 85 million players by May 2024. And for those wondering… yes, there are still no plans for The Sims 5 at this time.
