It always boggles my mind how Sims4 doesn't even have some of the basic and most memorable parts of the older games. Burglars, newspapers, cars (which at this point is probably impossible to add into the game) and a bunch of other things that I'm too lazy to list.
Because it isn't with the times. Burglars rarely happen IRL, the real stealing comes from companies like EA who refuse to pay their employees a living wage and overcharge their customers. Now THAT is stealing. Who has or reads newspapers anymore? It's all online. Cars are going out of style with the different rail systems. The Sims 4 is supposed to be our present to the future of society.
@@TheOG-GG but burglars happens alot in real life, depending on the country you live in, in my country we have to have fences and alot of security features, if you leave u house u need to talk to you neighboor so he knows you are not there and warn police if someone gets there, i live in brazil for example, so no burglars are still a real part of life, so are cars. but by cars i don't mean exactly owning a car, but for example bus to go to school, transportation, public transport etc. but the most common ways of stealing are now outside when you are on the street they steal you cell phone wallet etc.

I complained a lot about it (because there is a criminal career in Sims 4 and would be super cool if the sims in the lowest positions in that career could be robbers). And the answer I got was this: they won't release a burglar because people had seizures, panic and PTSD attacks when the burglars came. So yeah, you can add werewolves and vampires... but OH A BURGLAR. Also, I miss the slacker career, but I understand why we do not have it anymore: influencer, photographer, media, part-time and other jobs are already in the game. But I loved the transition from golf caddy to professional party guess (and the other random stuff in between). One career I think it is stupid not to have: tourism. And they could release a expansion with more vacation worlds. That is all.
That’s a stupid reason. That has to be from a third party source right? Cause I doubt EA or MAXIS would actually say that. Vampire break ins are just as if not scarier. They probably just don’t want to add it or not enough people are asking for it at the moment
Geez, what times we live in... I get PTSD over something, but like - you could add an option in game to disable stuff like this? Or allow mods that modify the game to be more friendly, but don't take stuff away like this? But to be fair - I don't think that answer is even true. It's to point fingers at PTSD people, but the real reason was probably something else.
@@Dares9 I agree on that. It would be so easy to just add in a little "do you want burgle? yes, no?" on an option menu like what they do for other gameplay options.
Credits to the burglar in Sims 2 for putting a huge fountain and a large painting in their little bin bag then fighting the police and getting away whilst carrying over 100kg in a bag.
I got my sim married to his burglar once. He was a rich dude that likes blondes and the robber was a blonde that likes money. Pairing made in heaven! When he kicked her butt during the fight they actually got one of those “I’m interested in knowing you better” pop ups with hearts and stuff.
In Sims 1, you could hover the burglar with your mouse cursor. That would considerably slow them down. This was a feature intended to help you click on a moving target for normal sims. But doing this for the burglar meant they would move in slow motion, giving the police time to arrive.
I love that the Sims 1 burglar doesn't sneak but just walks like normal up to the house and inside it, like he knows he's not gonna wake anyone up and gonna get away with it.
It's absolutely criminal (pun intended) that we don't have burglars in Sims 4 yet. I mean c'mon EA, we already have a career for it, why not make them a thing? I want my brave Sims to be able to kick their butts lol.
The game has joined the woke express. Adding criminals that can affect your gameplay out of your control is gonna cause an uproar of triggered offended SJWs.
In The Sims 3 I would build a wall next to the edge of my lot and place a burglar alarm on it. They couldn't even get to my mailbox, much less my front door lol.
Last I checked, the closest thing I guess there is to burglars in the sims 4 is making a sim a kleptomaniac and swiping things from various places such as residential or non-residential lots, like a museum.
With sims 1 I had the best tactic ever to prevent the burglar from leaving without the consequences, let them in and just use all of your sims to block each door to the outside while one calls the police and when the police arrive make way for her to go capture the burglar.
I play Sims 3 and I always put the alarm outside the house next to the front door. The burglar will always go through the front door first before they start stealing so even if you have stuff out in the front yard its still safe. Also your Sim is more likely to win the fight against the burglar if they have athletic or martial arts skills.
The Sims 2's buglar theme is my favorite from a musical perspective. Those opening notes to me symbolized every step the burglar took as they snuck around. It would be even more impressive if the burglar sneaking animation somehow synced with the music. Can't deny that the Sims 1 burglar theme is the most disturbing though
I love how in the Sims 2 version, the burglar is sneaking also when going up the stairs, in contrast to The Sims 3 version, where he switches to walking just normally. The attention to details in The Sims 2 was *immaculate*.
The Sim 3 alarm situation sounds like a comedy skit. The thief starts screaming and panicing over an alarm going off, residents starts screaming seeing an intruder, only for a cop to run in and tackle the thief while everyone is still screaming.
Burglars we’re always a staple thing in the Sims! I loved how they had their iconic outfit lmao. I get that they were terrifying, but it was realistic. And for me at least, it happened very rarely (in TS3). TS4 basically got rid of anything that made it charming
The sims 1 was most memorable simply because of that tune that plays!! Plus burglars popped up once a week. In sims 2 and 3 im not sure I've ever had one spawn!
Easiest way to prevent anything being stolen in the Sims 1 is put the alarm outside. Since outside is technically a room, the alarm will go off immediately as the burgular spawns and the cops will show up much faster.
Not exactly. When outside, it only reacts when the burglar is only a few tiles away. But nothing is stopping you from placing a wall with an alarm next to the spawn points. That way it will go off as you say. (You can do this too in Sims 2, but you first have to turn the wall into a room as burglar alarms can't be placed outside)
In Sims 1, after the police have arrested the burgler and is taking them off the lot, if you delete the police sim with move object, then the burgler will try and steal again! Dunno if it works in the other games
This is nostalgic lol The yr is 2000 & 9 yr old me is playing The Sims. Volume on the desktop speakers is at 100% because the build/buy music slaps. Recently discovered the motherlode cheat & decided my sims deserve the finer things in life. Got robbed that night (first time ever btw been playing for weeks atp) & being that the speakers were up 100% that music that plays when the burglar shows up scared TF outta me & the lil pop up video showing some masked man whilst all the functions being locked truly traumatized me 💀😭. I quit so fast & it took about 2 months before I played the sims again 🤦🏽♀️ lol Moral of the story is always buy a burglar alarm.
In the 15 years of playing sims 2 I’ve NEVER had a robber when the entire household was not asleep. There is a mod called „Burglar mod” which description seems to contradict this as well. Often they would appear right after the last sim falls asleep, just like the conditions for them to show up was finally met. The only exception I know is Caliente household - the burglary scripted there, so it happens regardless if the sims are asleep or not. Edit: also, it’s Nightlife not Late Night. Late Night is TS3 expansion
I have been playing Sims 2 for YEARS as well (with no mods/cc installed) and I still got burglars showing at my sims house even if they’re are all AWAKE, it’s rare but it’s still possible :), Also, sims that goes to university could still get burglars showing if they’re away (attending a class)
Sims 3 was my first game and I didn't knew anything about thieves. the first time theif spawning with that music and him approaching from the side of my house with that weird walk was one of the scariest video game experiences ever. I was so confused and didn't even realise that it's a theif until I zoomed in
If they steal random things, i really wonder if the bag can handle everyhting when the burglar steals everything, he just stole an entire mini-waterfall at 2:20
I love Sims 3 so much!! My fav thing about this is that Bonehilda is just throwing hands immediately with the burglars XDDD Also the fact that burglars have their own hideout
If you build a fence around the perimeter of your lot burglars can't get in. In fact, they may not even show up cause I put a fence around my lot but burglars were a no go for almost 2 weeks in game, then I gave up and removed the fence cause I was tired of leaving my sims in isolation. Burglar showed up that night. Also, this was Sims 3 if you're wondering.
If they ever add burglars into Sims 4, they gotta add a feature where if the police catches the burglar you will be asked to press charges or not, so you can let them off without getting reprimanded.
I love how happy the Sims 1 man was, when he talked to the police 😆 like "Hey listen, here is an emergency! Oooh Trudy, it's you. How's it going? Are the kids alright?" And the screams from Sims 2 fights. 😂
I remember in the sims 1 how I used to build a fence without a gate around my sims house when they were going to sleep. I think I was like 7 years old back then. That was before I noticed the burglar alarms though xD As for the music, I turned off the sound whenever they came. Sims 1 really had some of the scariest soundtracks I’d ever heard in a game. Also, at 10:46 that looks hilarious, the burglar freaking out as if that cute kitty is Bigfoot😂❤
I love how the burglar has full access to the house without having to pick locks or be sneaky, along with a bag that can fit anything in it. In fact, I'm surprised he doesn't just put the whole house in and be done with it.

Burglars we’re always a staple thing in the Sims! I loved how they had their iconic outfit lmao. I get that they were terrifying, but it was realistic. And for me at least, it happened very rarely (in TS3). TS4 basically got rid of anything that made it charming
Damn. OG Sims is actual pixel ART.
So elegant designs!
The sims 1 was most memorable simply because of that tune that plays!! Plus burglars popped up once a week. In sims 2 and 3 im not sure I've ever had one spawn!
I love how the sims 1 guy just complains about wanting to go to sleep while someone is robbing his house right in front of him
The Sims 1 track when the burglar shows up will be heard in my nightmares bro 💀💀💀💀
Easiest way to prevent anything being stolen in the Sims 1 is put the alarm outside. Since outside is technically a room, the alarm will go off immediately as the burgular spawns and the cops will show up much faster.
I've been playing wrong my whole life lol
Not exactly. When outside, it only reacts when the burglar is only a few tiles away.
But nothing is stopping you from placing a wall with an alarm next to the spawn points. That way it will go off as you say.
(You can do this too in Sims 2, but you first have to turn the wall into a room as burglar alarms can't be placed outside)
That's how I used to do it back in the day, but I think they really intended it to be used on the inside.
the sims community is probably one of the only ones angry that they no longer get robbed blind in the middle of the night lol
In Sims 1, after the police have arrested the burgler and is taking them off the lot, if you delete the police sim with move object, then the burgler will try and steal again! Dunno if it works in the other games
This is nostalgic lol
The yr is 2000 & 9 yr old me is playing The Sims. Volume on the desktop speakers is at 100% because the build/buy music slaps. Recently discovered the motherlode cheat & decided my sims deserve the finer things in life. Got robbed that night (first time ever btw been playing for weeks atp) & being that the speakers were up 100% that music that plays when the burglar shows up scared TF outta me & the lil pop up video showing some masked man whilst all the functions being locked truly traumatized me 💀😭. I quit so fast & it took about 2 months before I played the sims again 🤦🏽♀️ lol
Moral of the story is always buy a burglar alarm.
Has to be traumatizing to play Sims 1 as a child!
That crazy music would pop out of nowhere when the game was the most silent and you least expected it 😂
@@TheRedPlumbob I had a nightmare about the ghosts at the Goth manor once lol.
The music from The Sims 1 caused me panic and fear as a child 😂😂
The tune in the first Sims always scared me so much! 😅
"What a fight! I guess I'm just not the cop I used to be."
*sobs*
I just need to appreciate how he makes the same sims, the same house, and the same scenarios in every game
I may be wrong, but in TS3 if you have the Brave trait you can try to fight the burglar.
You can :D
That was in the video.
I think the sim can't have the good trait at the same time, or they won't fight.
In the 15 years of playing sims 2 I’ve NEVER had a robber when the entire household was not asleep. There is a mod called „Burglar mod” which description seems to contradict this as well. Often they would appear right after the last sim falls asleep, just like the conditions for them to show up was finally met.
The only exception I know is Caliente household - the burglary scripted there, so it happens regardless if the sims are asleep or not.
Edit: also, it’s Nightlife not Late Night. Late Night is TS3 expansion
I have been playing Sims 2 for YEARS as well (with no mods/cc installed) and I still got burglars showing at my sims house even if they’re are all AWAKE, it’s rare but it’s still possible :), Also, sims that goes to university could still get burglars showing if they’re away (attending a class)
11:45 I love how girlie just takes the entire carpet and puts it in her nonexistent pockets
I remember playing Sims 1 on PS2 and having a burglar in my house. That was strange as heck to me.
0:20 "Some Sneaky Sim" well said.
it's funuy
7:16 that is such a fun detail
since the sims 4 doesn't have burglars then I'll consider my neighbors the burglars for walking in uninvited and using my computer.
A little mini hack with the alarm system. If you place it on the outside of the house the alarm goes off the second the burglar steps on your property
Thanks
I love the fact that you recreated the exact same house in every sims game! Amazing
Sims 3 was my first game and I didn't knew anything about thieves. the first time theif spawning with that music and him approaching from the side of my house with that weird walk was one of the scariest video game experiences ever. I was so confused and didn't even realise that it's a theif until I zoomed in
My guilty pleasure was sims 3 with a bunch of mods installed, such fun times XD
I remember freeing a thief and getting the gratitude message and increased friendship. Next night the same sim came to rob me again smh
If they steal random things, i really wonder if the bag can handle everyhting when the burglar steals everything, he just stole an entire mini-waterfall at 2:20
I love Sims 3 so much!! My fav thing about this is that Bonehilda is just throwing hands immediately with the burglars XDDD Also the fact that burglars have their own hideout
If you build a fence around the perimeter of your lot burglars can't get in. In fact, they may not even show up cause I put a fence around my lot but burglars were a no go for almost 2 weeks in game, then I gave up and removed the fence cause I was tired of leaving my sims in isolation. Burglar showed up that night.
Also, this was Sims 3 if you're wondering.
4:05 they’ll also show up in the day if no one’s home
I appreciate how in the sims 2 there wasn’t an awkward pause paired with the sim adjusting them self into the right position right before an action.
i LOVE The Sims 1 burglar tune, it fits the game SO perfectly, oh, this soundtrack in general... i'm a huge fan, that's it.
''sims will get a negative memory from this''
Thats what we in the industry refer to as trauma
My anxiety started at the ripe age of 10 when I heard the sims 2 burglar soundtrack for the first time
If they ever add burglars into Sims 4, they gotta add a feature where if the police catches the burglar you will be asked to press charges or not, so you can let them off without getting reprimanded.
Meanwhile, in Sims 4, you can't confront Kleptomaniacs and no police to call to.
There's a mistake, you need Sims 2 Open for Business, not Free Time in order to build the sentry, it comes with the robotics station.
I love how happy the Sims 1 man was, when he talked to the police 😆 like "Hey listen, here is an emergency! Oooh Trudy, it's you. How's it going? Are the kids alright?"
And the screams from Sims 2 fights. 😂
they did not even record a new voice for that interactoin xD
Oh. I got a heart but edited the comment afterwards. So the heart is gone. Noooo 🥲
@@gabrielandy9272 😂 in the end they have a huge variety of screams that scare the hell out of you.
@@lylavati sims 1 is classic
Ahh burgulars.. the good old times! 😭😭 I do really missed them so much!
I remember in the sims 1 how I used to build a fence without a gate around my sims house when they were going to sleep. I think I was like 7 years old back then. That was before I noticed the burglar alarms though xD As for the music, I turned off the sound whenever they came. Sims 1 really had some of the scariest soundtracks I’d ever heard in a game.
Also, at 10:46 that looks hilarious, the burglar freaking out as if that cute kitty is Bigfoot😂❤
the sims 3 sound of a burglar approaching will always haunt me in my nightmares
The sims 1 burglar theme never fails to make me shit bricks.
I love how the burglar has full access to the house without having to pick locks or be sneaky, along with a bag that can fit anything in it. In fact, I'm surprised he doesn't just put the whole house in and be done with it.
