‘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.”

[El Garbage]

They just couldn't be arsed to program the character in the base game, and the "get you stuff stolen" DLC failed the target demographic test.

I’ll be completely honest I had no fucking idea there was a Sims 4.

I often forget it exists.

Isn't this the one were you can make trannies or nonbinary snowflakes? Like you don't have to assign a gender or something. Because that's triggering.

 

[Bassomatic]

This is a really really awkward way of saying we couldn't skin burglars to be black.

Sims4 is basically tumblrina simulator.
I think the gender selection screen had a fuckton of options (and possibly an other/ type your own) whatever.

I just want to fuck around with my ugly creations and brutally kill them off one by one, is that too much to ask for?

I only had the PS2 games and pretty much just walled people in and collected tombstones. I had a town full of children dressed in witch costumes and the adults were all work drones in matching pajamas. When I was finished with them they went into the walls to starve to death.

I heard you could be nonbinary but I didn't know it was that extensive. And the overwhelming majority of people who pick those selections are just tumblrinas with made up genders anyway. Some day that game is going to look absolutely pants on head retarded. At least I hope so.

And they require connection to their servers to play one player games then shut down those servers because they just aren’t feeling it anymore.

They've been pioneers of absurdly cunty copyright protection schemes since the '80s. Needless to say when people pirated them they generally removed that shit, so the only people who suffered from it were those dumb enough to give them money.

Because tumblr esque kids play Sim games and everyone knows that tumblr basically is so in love with the fantasy of a sexy vampire going to rape them. So why not?

 

[A Straight White Male]

im sure someone will make a mod

Someone more creative than I am should make a mod to where the burglars are only glow in the dark CIA niggers. I mean, if you're going to trigger SJWs might as well go all out.

 

[Elysian]

Spoiler: ffs my images are always super big

This is the Sims 4 gender settings screen.

 

[Ruin]

This is a really really awkward way of saying we couldn't skin burglars to be black.

Like those security company commercials where the home invader is always a good looking white guy which is the least realistic thing possible.

Can you still barbecue babies?

This. Were it any other publisher, I could believe the reason they gave was truthful. But considering how much other stuff was missing from The Sims 4 at launch and had to be either patched in later or included with expansion packs, most likely EA just can't be bothered with programming it in.

 

[Hiragana]

You can work as a criminal in the Sims 4, but not actually be burglarized yourself.

 

[friedshrimp]

What sheltered white people first world suburban shit is this? Once you're in the real world a burglar is like the least of your worries.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

No pools in the base game

correction. there are pools

 

[Hui]

I guess all good things must come to an end.

But seriously? Doesnt one play the Sims to escape reality?

NO! You play the sims to stop time when guests first meet you as you move in, build walls and then watch them shit themselves. Later starve to death and become fucking ghosts.

 

[AnOminous]

>not adding rapists

 

[CWCissey]

NO! You play the sims to stop time when guests first meet you as you move in, build walls and then watch them shit themselves. Later starve to death and become fucking ghosts.

Or you just shove a Persian rug in the fireplace.

 

[Hui]

When can I shove cows to the fireplace?

 

[OJ 473]

Why have no other companies tried making a Sims clone? Is it just too big of a task and not worth the effort? Sims 4 is a huge let down for people that have been long time players.
