*The Sims 4* has evolved significantly over the years, yet nostalgia often brings back beloved elements from its past. One such return is the iconic 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 elusive character in *The Sims 4*.
A hallmark of the early *Sims* games, the Burglar Sim would sneak into homes to steal valuables. With the latest update, Robin Banks is back, ready to prowl under the cover of night. She only appears during the late hours, attempting to snatch your Sims' prized possessions before anyone notices.
While the Burglar doesn't appear frequently, you can boost your chances of an encounter by activating the new Lot Challenge, Heist Havoc. This feature not only increases the likelihood of Robin Banks visiting your home but also causes alarms to malfunction, making her escape more probable.
