Eyyy, thank you! I'll make sure to include your translation in the next update :3
Good catch with the mistake in the Czech translation, too. Love it!

This mod made my game difficult and I like it! Burglar was too easy to avoid, I didn't even know that babies consider as non sleeping sims and prevent burglars to appear...Thank you for interesting mod

I'd love to test it! Can it be safely removed later if necessary?

@mila1195 - yes, this mod can be added and removed freely at any time, and the different versions (standard, no-Fires, Arsonist) are also interchangeable! There is no risk of interrupting any process since the game doesn't let you save during a burglary, and whatever extra data gets added by the mod is otherwise unused.

Thank you so much! So I can't wait to see my sims despair during the burglary.

I had a burglar break into my evil warlock sim's home for the first time since I installed this mod. My sim and his toddler son were asleep and the burglar spawned successfully. However, she only managed to take a few steps into their home before running away. Right after she left, my sim woke up. Is that supposed to happen? She didn't steal anything...

Hmmmm... This sounds like something a different mod might do.
Do you have any other mods relating to witches/warlocks and/or burglars?

And a few other questions concerning how the burglary went down:
1. Did any alarms go off?
2. Was there any dialogue displayed in the top right (such as "The burglar got away")?

Thanks in advance!

PS: If you'd like to do some extra testing to see if this issue happens with other households too, and you have never played Pleasantview before, you can enter the Caliente household and play until the first night, where a burglar is guaranteed to spawn.

For the witch/warlock related mods, I have Midge the tree's edited version of creature fixes, child-toddler witches, hereditary supernaturalism, and epi sims' witch lifespan mod.

For burglar related mods, I have your mod and AnyoneFightBurglars by reaper with no name, here on MTS.

1.) I don't use alarms in my game so no alarm went off.
2.) There was no notification saying the burglar got away. She took a few steps into the house and ran away. I tested a brand new pleasantview and the same thing happened in the caliente household. Gordon King came in to their home, lingered for a few seconds and ran off. In fact, I had to spawn him in myself

Huh, interesting.

That should never happen in this specific scenario. A brand new Pleasantview, unless you use a version that removes all scripted events, is guaranteed to have a Caliente family robbery in the first night.
I find it unlikely that my mod is causing these issues, as I do not change anything about how a burglar spawns and routes to their first target object.

I managed to get the burglar to spawn in the caliente household and after testing a million times, I found out that object freedom by fway was the culprit. I've removed it from my game for now, but I've messaged fway to let them know

Hi! I was wondering if I have done something wrong or if I've just been unlucky with the odds. Since installing this mod, zero of my households have been burgled. It just doesn't happen. I have smarter ep check, and I downloaded the tuneable, default version of the mod.
The mod itself actually works when I manually summon a burglar (Russ Bear set my sims bedroom alight and my sim died lol), but without manually summoning, it just doesn't happen. I know it's not supposed to be super common, but before I had a decent amount of robberies. I play rotationally through the seasons and I've played approximately three seasons across 18 different households. Do I need to manually tune the mod? If so, how do I go about doing that? Many thanks
