How To Find & Catch the Burglar (Robin Banks) in The Sims 4

The return of a classic Sims villain! This guide details how to encounter and apprehend Robin Banks, the Burglar, in The Sims 4.

Making a comeback after a long absence, Robin Banks (the Burglar) is once again targeting Sim homes. She only appears at night, attempting to steal valuable items. While infrequent, her appearances can be boosted by activating the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge, which also increases the chance of a successful getaway.
