Yeah, since the photography sets demands a picture of one, it's strange they haven't made their appearances more frequent.

Thank you very much!

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Is this mod compatible with More Money for Apprehending Burglars (2.5 + Higher including Ambitions)? Her Mod states: "This Mod is NOT compatible with any other mod that edits the Police_XML File." So...I am guessing your alters a different file? Or is it all included in the same file?

Police_XML is different than mine. Mine is the Burglar_XML.

What ???
In my game the thief come very ofte, once a week or so. There's a female thief named Twyla Summers and often she steals things that are outside, the car, the garden furniture, the windmill, etc. I do not know how to prevent it. Often she wins the wrestling if the police come as well. I do not have any mod at all that affects neither the police, the burglar or something else in my game. It happens so often so it's annoying.

I wonder if you can place an alarm (or two or three) somewhere on the outside of your property, like a decorated wall, or a fence, or even the outside wall of your front and back door? Didn't this work with Sims 2?

It's funny that you've never seen one. I've owned my game for one week today, and have seen 2 burglars, I only have two families I play with in game.

Looks good - I'm going to give this a try. I wouldn't mind seeing a 5% version though. Just a thought.

One time I made this sim, and without your mod, she got robbed on the first night. And all he took was her toilet. He took a frigging toilet. Then left. It was the funniest thing I ever saw a burglar do. xD Now I'm getting the 75% chance mod to see if he takes another toilet.

I use-

THE GIMP
SIMPE
and of course...
SIMS 2~

Somebody already made a mod for no chance of burglar. It's here on mts.

Great! Only seen a burglar once... was disappointed to never see one again!

Eh... so the two Burglar mods listed on the related pages are compatible with yours I assume? Obviously not all three, but this one and one of the others?

Cheers.

It's not working for me. I even took out every other mod i had and still nothing. Also, when you use the lets say 75% mod, is it like 75% of the time the burglar will come every few hours after sleep, so if he doesn't show up the first few, there's a 75% chance he'll show up again in the next few?

edit: i tried both 100% and 75% several times and got nothing, it's like i never downloaded them.

I don't see why i shouldn't use this mod for that. It also would be nice if the creator of this mod would give some advice for me finally since he was kind enough to do it for the other ppl.

I like this! Though I do have to say, burglars come to me ALL the time in the Sims 3 X.X I don't know what's wrong with me, lol. I don't have any mods for it or anything.

But I like it, even more often would be awesome, lol!

I've had this game for about 7-8 months now and among all my families I've seen maybe 3 burglars. I like to see what random stuff the burglars decide to take but they never show. Not to mention I have a brave sim who would just LOVE to take a burglar down herself =p Thanks for this, I'm gonna try this out.
