The Sims 4, a game that's constantly evolving, recently reintroduced a classic element from earlier titles: the burglar! Now known as Robin Banks, this mischievous Sim makes nighttime appearances, attempting to pilfer valuable items from unsuspecting households.

While Robin Banks' visits aren't frequent, activating the new "Heist Havoc" Lot Challenge significantly increases the chances of a nighttime break-in. This challenge also amplifies the likelihood of the burglar successfully escaping with their loot, adding an extra layer of challenge.
