Criminal Simulator Controls: Sneaking, Loot & Tools

How the Main Controls Work

Getting caught can cost you stolen loot and a day of your run. Criminal Simulator controls center on crouching past residents, carrying valuables, and selling your haul at the hideout. In this Roblox game, getting comfortable with those actions helps you finish robberies before the deadline.

Focus on these actions when you begin:

  • Crouch: Move quietly through houses. Residents react to noise and can also spot you, so crouching still requires care around people.
  • Carry and store loot: Bring stolen items to your vehicle and store them there while you continue collecting valuables.
  • Sell: Back at the hideout, carry your haul to the selling area and use the sell action to receive money.
  • Use the hideout computer: Purchase tools, weapons, supplies, and character upgrades. Some purchases require a higher level.

Selling pays only a portion of an item's value. Keep that in mind when deciding whether your current haul will cover the required quota.

Practice the Robbery Loop in Regular Houses

Start solo in classic normal mode while learning movement and interactions. Higher difficulties offer better earnings, but regular houses give you a simpler place to practice before facing more dangerous locations.

Follow this sequence during your opening robberies:

  1. Look outside before entering. Items can be left outdoors, including on benches. Collecting those lets you bring in loot without entering a house.
  2. Crouch when exploring occupied homes. Watch for residents while moving through rooms.
  3. Prioritize valuable items. Look for diamond rings, gold watches, tablets, game consoles, drones, and gift cards.
  4. Store your finds in your vehicle. Use it to collect your haul before returning to base.
  5. Return to the hideout and sell. Put earnings toward equipment that expands your entry options or makes transporting loot easier.

You have only three days or nights to carry out robberies, and getting caught skips a day. Check your quota before committing to another house; an unsuccessful trip uses time you need for earning money.

Tools That Change How You Enter and Loot Houses

Entry equipment opens more routes through a property. Choose purchases around the obstacle you need to overcome.

EquipmentWhat it does
LockpickOpens locked doors, giving you access to additional rooms.
Glass cutterCuts through windows with less noise.
AC gasPuts people inside a house to sleep.
Baseball batProvides a weapon for fighting.
Card machineExtracts money from stolen credit cards.

Use the glass cutter when you want a quieter window entry. Buy a lockpick to reach rooms blocked by locked doors.

The card machine can travel with you or stay at your hideout. If you leave it at base, bring stolen credit cards back to use it there.

Two character upgrades also affect movement and hauling. Running shoes increase movement speed, while Lifter makes carrying stolen items easier. Consider running shoes for faster travel and escapes, or Lifter when moving loot becomes your main obstacle.

What to Do When You're Spotted

Leave the property quickly if a resident detects you. Police do not necessarily arrive immediately, so use that opportunity to escape before they reach the scene.

Avoid unnecessary fights, especially in houses and mansions with armed security guards. A baseball bat gives you a combat option, but guards can take you down quickly.

Move into more valuable properties as you gain levels and unlock stronger equipment. Keep returning to sell your haul along the way: getting caught risks both the loot you're carrying and another day of your limited robbery window.
