Can you be robbed in The Sims 4?

The answer to the question of whether you can be robbed in The Sims 4 is a bit complex: while there are no traditional burglars in the game, Sims with the Kleptomaniac trait can occasionally take items from other Sims’ homes, effectively acting as in-game thieves. In The Sims 4, the absence of burglars means that players do not have to worry about securing their homes with burglar alarms or dealing with the repercussions of a robbery, such as interacting with the police.
