However, if this happens after the burglar has stolen something, it will still be necessary to call the police. With Open for Business, Sims with a Silver or Gold Robotics Badge can use the Robot Crafting Station to craft SentryBots, which are designed to patrol a house and shock any burglars that may enter with an electric current, causing them to run off the lot.
Depending on how long it takes for the officer to reach the burglar, the burglar may have time to steal an object after the police cruiser arrives. If the police officer and the burglar cannot get into a position that allows them to fight, the burglar will flee with their loot.
When the police arrive, the officer will attempt to apprehend the burglar by fighting them if successful, the burglar will surrender, but if the officer is defeated, the burglar will escape. If someone in the household encounters the Burglar, they will often react with fright. Some Sims, particularly Fortune Sims, often have "getting something stolen" as a fear. Even if the burglar is captured before taking anything, all Sims on the lot will also receive the "Burglar!" memory, unless they have received it previously. They can use a phone to call the police, but cannot interact with the burglar.
Unlike The Sims, Sims will panic when they witness a burglar entering a lot. If the burglar trips an alarm, this may give the police time to respond before the burglar can steal anything. Their arrival is announced by a "stealthy" tune. A burglar can steal aspiration reward objects, and will consider the number of aspiration reward points needed to buy the reward as its value. In The Sims 2, a burglar who enters a lot will "case" the house and lot, looking for the most expensive items. Sometimes, a family will be reimbursed for an item that the burglar did not manage to steal. These items will be taken as evidence and not returned, but the family will be reimbursed for them. Despite this, the burglar may have already taken one or two items by the time the police officer approaches him. The police officer will thank the family and will pay them a §1000 reward. Installing a burglar alarm in the home will not prevent a burglar from entering the lot however, if one happens to do so, the police will arrive shortly after the alarm goes off to arrest him, where he will surrender peacefully. This can further be proven during rare occasions when a Sim is awake while one arrives on the lot Sims cannot directly stop the burglar as there are no available interactions, and they will not react to one at all.īurglars will steal the closest and most expensive objects they can find. This is most likely because the game has programmed burglars to only appear when a Sim is asleep. Even if the player does this as soon as the burglar appears, it is not certain that the Sim will be able to call the police in time. If the player tries to wake up a Sim while there is a burglar, it is unlikely that the Sim will wake up, get to a telephone, and call the police in time to catch him. The burglar cannot be interacted with in any way, except by the police, and was specifically designed to rob houses while the entire household is asleep. The burglar will usually appear at around 3:00 AM, and even appear as late as 9:00 AM if the family is sleeping, and his arrival will be announced by a few bars of intentionally frightening music. In The Sims, burglaries are fairly rare and will most likely appear if the selected family is wealthy or has expensive objects in their home.
