8. Add the new 3 burglars - 1 female and 2 males into the NPC family, the finish product should be looked like Screenshot 4.

9. Save the neighborhood again, quit SimPE 6.0b and launch "The Sims 2".

To restore the default burglar NPCs, take the reverse steps by removing the 3 current burglars from the NPC family in the FAMI Editor (usually the last 3 on the list if you haven't installed other expansion packs or modify other NPCs during the meantime.)

For most default neighborhoods, add back "Jessica Ebadi", "Gordon King" and "Russ Bear" back, best to write down your 3 default burglar NPCs before applying this download mod.
