You can sic your loyal dogs on the intruder, or unleash the supernatural powers of spellcasters, vampires, or werewolves to deal with the criminal. And if you're into futuristic gadgets, why not freeze the burglar in their tracks with a special ray?

The best part? This exciting burglars update is available right now, and it's completely free for all players to enjoy. Dive into the action and see how you can protect your Sims' homes from these crafty thieves!
