FYI, The firefighter career isn't as broken as we thought.

My sim is in level 7 (almost 8) and never had anything else but fires so far. Hope that isn't a glitch...

Hi guys, I tried someone’s advice on here which was implying the issue is the firetruck. I tried that and it worked. When you place the fire station into your town and edit the building you’ll find that the truck is not placed properly. It seems to have been placed on moveobjects on, meaning it needs to be moved to a place where it fits with the cheat off. I just moved it and I am able to extinguish small fires now.

Well I wish someone would tell my game that, because it isn't working at all.

The first emergency call I answered by clicking the alarm, and everything worked the way it should (the house was nearby). The second day the call was removed before my sim could get there. So the third day I didn't click anything, sent my sim there (a tip I read on here, by indeed igazor if I recall correctly) and that worked. There was no fire when my sim drove there (in the fire engine), but as soon as she got there a notification showed up and she could run there to put out the fire.

I'm playing this career in IP by the way and I was curious how that would work. So far very well. The carpool teleports to the fire station and so far all the fires took place on the island where the fire station is. Curious how that will work out in the future.

These events maybe occur randomly. While I played with firefighter previously, my sims got the Evil Plot Backfire for several times but no other events at all in hundreds days.
Moreover, I'm not sure about these events will occur in combined rabbitholes. If you don't mind to use cheats, "testingcheatsenabled" with shift and click on the rabbitholes can activate the events.

For the most part, the firefighter career still works beautifully for me. There is a short period of time where events cancel out when I click on them, so during that time I have the sim focus on building other necessary skills right there at the fire station. If they have family that is free I sometimes bring them over as well and everyone hangs out and gets hotdogs for lunch. Once that weird moment of cancelling out is over it is back to business as usual with fires and the other stuff like catching gnomes.
