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 to veteran Simmers, Robin Banks returns in the latest update for The Sims 4, available now on PC and consoles. Get ready to safeguard your Sim's valuables! She's a nocturnal visitor, typically 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, install 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 if they're quick enough, or… take matters into their own hands. The choice is yours.

The Sims team expressed their excitement about bringing the Burglar back, noting that Robin Banks is not only here to rob your Sims' houses but also to steal their hearts! What better way to celebrate The Sims' 25th anniversary than with this nostalgic yet fresh addition?

Despite being over a decade old (The Sims 4), and with the franchise celebrating its 25th anniversary, the game continues to attract a massive player base. Last year alone, The Sims 4 welcomed over 15 million new players. EA's Q2 earnings report highlighted the game's remarkable growth; reaching 20 million unique players in four years as a premium title, then exploding to 85 million total players by May 2024 after its 2022 transition to free-to-play. And for those eagerly anticipating it, there are currently no plans for The Sims 5.
