“Alright I’ve seen enough, I’m giving her my house key,” u/hahahentaiman joked. “My Sim greeting her with a candlelit dinner when she breaks in,” u/agaywarlord said. “I will prepare items for her to rob,” u/Sty_Walk added. “Got me thinking about blowing up my Sim’s whole life for her,” u/ragworts commented while, I imagine, clawing at their screen.

Robin Banks is among esteemed company, too, as fans have compared her to everyone fromTaylor Swiftand Catwoman to Rhea Ripley, Victoria Chase, and Aurore Castel fromCyberpunk 2077: “No wonder sims keep swooning while getting robbed,” summed up u/yellowfang04.

If you’ve got a crush on Banks, there are a couple of key things you should know: dogs scare them away, so it might be time to ditch the poodle if you want to have a meet cute with your local kleptomaniac, and if you’re a vampire, you may snack on her before commanding her to leave. But I’m guessing you’ll want her to stick around, eh?
