‘THE SIMS 4’ RUMOR: WHY BURGLARS ARE NOT PART OF THE GAME AND MIGHT NEVER BE
SEPTEMBER 21, 2017
Jansen Clark
The infamous black and white-clad burglar is one of the most glaring omissions from The Sims 4, and a new rumor suggests that Electronic Arts had a reason why they did not include the non-playable character in the game.

Some gamers who have been following the Sims franchise for a while now might find it odd that the burglars are still missing from the installment, especially since there were a lot of opportunities for EA to add them through the downloadable content (DLC) packs released for the life simulation hit.

The Sims forums member TOLKIEN, who has proven himself to be a reliable source of all things Sims-related due to his connection to an employee at EA Sports, has revealed that the exclusion of burglars, who sneak onto a lot and steal items from a house (but can usually be foiled with a burglar alarm), was done with sensitive players in mind

While this will seem like too much for some, especially since previous installments of The Sims featured burglars, TOLKIEN’s source noted that this has to do with the fact that the game was made “for a new generation.”

“A team of producers surrounded by people OF that generation [would] point out that the invasion of their home or safe place could create feelings of discomfort or possible even triggering.”

This could also be the reason theGet to Work game pack released forThe Sims 4 a couple of years ago only provided players the ability to investigate crimes and not necessarily experience one.

“If you look at the overall goofy nature of much of The Sims 4, I could certainly see some truth in creating a safer, happy experience forSims players. Certainly being the victim of a burglary would be the opposite.”


Whether this means that burglars will never find their way to The Sims 4 remains to be seen at the moment, but if this rumor is anything to go by, fans should not count on it.

Sims Community, on the other hand, made mention of the fact that in The Sims 4, vampires tend to knock on the doors of the players’ Sims in the middle of the night, which is deemed somewhat invasive and somehow in line with what burglars do. Of course, this warrants an entirely different discussion.

Either way, gamers should not get their hopes up about the burglars coming to The Sims 4, although TOLKIEN himself warns them to take this with a pinch of salt, especially since he has no clue “how much of this was embellishment on my friend’s part,” who he described as someone who loves to “make a point.”

The Sims fandom is infested with SJWs so I’m not the least bit surprised. Even the developers come off as being so. Burglars are triggering, but not your sims being electrocuted to death, burnt to death, or being abducted and impregnated by aliens. I never knew EA/Maxis was so cucked.

But I thought that burglars, like shoplifters, are just heroes battling the oppressive clutches of capitalism! What, are they also gonna erase African American culture by excluding street gangs and ghettos? Fuckin' genrtification-advocating shitlords!

Normally I’d say there’s no way a game developer would be retarded enough to completely remove a feature (instead of just allowing players to disable it) because it might trigger someone who doesn’t know the difference between fantasy and reality, but we’re talking about EA so it’s probably true.

It also treats its employees like slaves and is John Walker Flynt's favorite game company.

Origin was a mistake. Also, remember how they screwed a lot of people out of getting every Sims 2 expansion/stuff pack for free?
You’re not missing much with Sims 4. It’s all just overpriced packs with nine items in them each. They’re just now adding toddlers (for free, surprisingly.)

Do people even play The Sims 4? I see a lot of people play Sims 1 and 2, and a fair amount play 3, I've never heard of anyone mention 4 though.

I've never played the series but I've watched LP's and it's pretty obvious from watching any comparison of 3 and 4 that it was a massive step backwards, almost unbelievably so.

Sims 4 is a piece of shit.

Jesus Christ the burglar's theme music is the same as the raccoon's raiding your trash theme music. Was it that triggering to them? That shit's scary when you're like 9 and not paying attention but if you're an adult you might need to maybe, not be a massive scaredy cat?
