sims 4 mystery update release tease

With the latest confirmation from EA that tomorrow’s update will feature Burglars, we’re pretty excited for what’s to come in tomorrow’s patch release. Here’s when exactly we should expect the update to drop, and what the rumored features are:

Article Update: Expect Sims 4 Burglars!

EA and Maxis have dropped a brand new video teaser trailer for tomorrow’s update. Confirming our suspicion that the next patch will feature Burglars in The Sims 4! Check out the video teaser here.

The Sims 4 Burglars Update

So if you’ve been wondering when is the Sims 4 Burglars Update releasing on your preferred platform, look no further. Check out our full countdown below:

The Sims 4 Mystery Update Release Details

The next big Sims 4 Update is set to release across PC, Mac, Playstation and Xbox supported platforms on February 25th, 2025. The assumed release time for this patch is set around 8AM PT / 5PM CET / 4PM GMT. I’ve made this assumption considering that Maxis has to unlock the last week of Blast From The Past Live event just an hour after The Sims 4 Mystery Update Release.

We’ll keep you posted here in case the update turns out to get released at 10AM Pacific Time. Until then, this is when you should expect the next update to drop:

Linnie

XD

Shorty

noty

same

Shorty

So I’m guessing it be at 10 am instead of 8 ugh

Amanda

*screams in simlish* I’m excited but I’m also worried of more bugs and unaddressed bug issues.

Darkening Demise

I’m going to guess…

  1. The burglars will just do sit ups and push ups instead of steal anything. My sims will not care and just get a scared moodlet. Then the burglar will t-pose and leave.
  2. The burglars will actually work but only your Sims can stop them because we need to wait another 15 years for the police NPC to be added to the game now.
  3. They add in police NPCs too that fade onto the lot and will attempt to fight the burglar and if they win the burglar walks off the lot with the cop and isn’t actually cuffed or put into a car because Sims 4.

Honestly we need to stay realistic given this game folks. I’m excited to a degree, but also skeptical as to just how it will work if at all.

bexk

tbh in my game i have extreme violence so i dare the burglar to come to my home hahahahah

Tatiana

Not excited, because I never cared about Burglars. Hope we can turn this OFF. I wanted a repo man. But still not too fussed for those either.

GaiaP

There is a repo man, he is in uniform like sims 2, if you forget to pay bills he comes and takes stuff away XD

bexk

i thought they just shut the power off??

gleeai275

This is just a idea for next updated is it possible to bring back wild horses and wild unicorns where you can go upto the wild horses and unicorns and adopt them to your household it’s just a idea for next one maybe

Sarah

To my understanding, this isn’t an official EA forum. You might have better luck getting EA to actually read your comment on the EA Forum or their official Discord. Of course fans have been telling EA stuff for years and they don’t seem to take anything into consideration, so best luck ☺️

kitty

Not bothered about burglars but I need Darnell Levy in my game!

Lotje1981

It is already several minutes after 5:00 PM/17:00, bur still no update availeble.

We had to wait for another hour

Gudder

The Sims usually pushes their updates out at 11:00am PT/1:00pm ET… so not sure why the author of this article though it would suddenly change time? I’m sure if they were planning on doing something outside of the norm, a notice of some sort would have gone out….

Stefani Douglas

daniellebuilds confirmed 12pm CST on Facebook. She’s a pretty trustworthy source.

Amelie

You was wrong for the update countdown, it’s not 4pm or 5pm UK time it’s always 6pm for sims update for us UK players.

bexk

I’m UK i hope your right!! I’ve been sat thinking why hasn’t it updated yet but this now makes sense !

Amelie

Every update or new pack for the UK is always scheduled for 6pm, not sure why this website posted 4pm and 5pm. The Sims have also scheduled another base game update on the 28th ready for the new expansion pack which states 6pm for us also.

bexk

looks like my game is gonna break bad with all my mods 🙁

kaliedesco

That’s just the cost of having mods tbh I’m in the same boat but it’s always worth the wait for molders to take their (very precious) time to update things!

Stefani Douglas

UPDATE IS LIVE!

bexk

on the ea app? its not coming up for me:(

Kelly

Me neither

Kelly

In the UK and no update here yet 🙁
