link directly to this cheatBeing Robbed! Avoiding Burglars Tip #2

In case you are robbed early in the game and you haven't had a chance to buy alarms, when you see a man in dark clothing sneaking slowly down the street, quickly wake up your sims and get them to call the police. If you catch him, the police will come, you will be rewarded for catching him and get any things that were taken back.

link directly to this cheatNever be Robbed Again

Want a fail-proof system to keep burglars away from your house? Use what I've dubbed "burglar alarm posts"! Go into build mode and build a wall right up against the sidewalk at both ends of your property. Then head to buy mode and put a burglar alarm on each of the posts. The police show up before those crooks even get to the front door.

If you're on one of those corner lots and you have four entrances, you have three options. The first one, and the only one that doesn't requrie the cheat box, is to put a burglar alarm post by the place in the sidewalk where the four paths cross, though depending on the house it may not work before he robs you (though the policewoman will show up before he gets away). Another way is to use the "move_objects on" cheat and build a burglar alarm post by each entrance beyond your property lines. Or with the same cheat, in buy mode you can click on the end of the sidewalk where the visitors appear and you'll pick up something called "*portal-pedestrian". Delete it and no burglars (or anyone else for that matter) can come in from that place. As you can't get those portals back, I don't recommend that method, or at least not on any more than the odd-placed sidewalks.

- Press the 'Edit' button. You'll go back to the Edit menu.
- Now you make an adult of your kid, Choose the wanted clothes, face; your wanted Sim. Press 'Done' again and in the menu screen (when you're ready, you can also make some other Sims) press 'Done' again. So if you'll move your Sim into a house, he/she will have some Skills already!
