When will the thief come?

The appearance of thieves seems to be random; if the cheat code is not used, there is no guarantee that the thieves will appear at a specific time . It is precisely because of this unpredictability that alarm systems are particularly important. We will go into more detail later, and the alarm system will notify you immediately when the thief enters the plot.

will only appear at night. Don't worry during the day. Most Sims go to bed at night, so you should be able to catch the thief on the spot.

How to prevent thieves from stealing

• In real life, you will use security systems and alerts to protect your home. The same is true in The Sims 4. In the build/buy mode, you can find a sirens that will wake everyone in the house when the thief breaks into your house. The The sirens themselves are called the

  Alertz anti-theft alarm, which costs you $85

  . You don't need to buy a siren for the entire house, Each door leading to the outdoor needs a separate siren. The same applies to plots with multiple buildings. All in all, just place an alarm near each door that the thief may enter. Build/buy mode will be disabled when the thief enters the plot! You cannot quickly purchase siren at this time. If someone is at home, you should act quickly, but if everyone is working, then

  you will have to watch the thieves steal.

  When the thief enters the plot, the sirens will sound, Wake up all the people currently at home (if they are sleeping). The alarm should be enough to scare away the thieves, but you can also resist for the sake of security.

  Fight!

  Alarm
  • Confronting the thief
  • When we first saw the thief, we sent a strong Sim to fight them. Our Sims eventually won;
  This caused the thieves to be scared away. It is OK to call the police, but the thief may eventually steal.
  • The police's reaction time is not instant, so you will still witness the thieves stealing.
  Confronting the thief
  is not the most effective way to stop the thief

  . We recommend either fight them or call the police. How to close the visit of thieves
