I'm glad burglars are not in the game yet same with firemen and police it would be horrible to have a cop poof in your yard and poof out with the burglar we need cars the walking pizza delivery and repairman is bad enough.

Tech they didn't have at launch.maybe that's it @ChadSims2

I've never cared about burglars.Firemen on the other hand...I feel like they're needed. Sometimes my Sims are too dumb to extinguish themselves.

Click the shower and they will always extinguish themselves. I have never had a sim die from burning up as I always put a bathroom with a shower near my kitchens.

There's literally everything in the game we need to get burglars.I also find it weird that they have to prioritize things over basic things we've had since TS1. It also seems to be his favorite excuse nowadays - "We wanted to prioritize other things"

I have always loved the burglars. Love the fight's between them and law or the man of the house.

Is that what should happen? Burglars should sneak into your house, wake you up and drink your blood, and then take one object (get embarrassed if someone sees them) and start a fire? So the fire alarm goes off, and the fire gets put out and the Sims get reimbursement?

Clearly more than assembly is required.

Burglar alarms, for those who don't want their stuff stolen. Perhaps return the Brave trait so Sims can fight the burglars themselves. And maybe Sims in the criminal career wouldn't get burglarized because they wouldn't want to rob their future boss. :) :D

But he's saying that they've improved tech since launch to make it more viable now. Vampire break ins and the kleptomaniac trait weren't there at launch.

Note that he doesn't say WHY they haven't been implemented. The reason may be that EA didn't want to do it for free.

I think the game is missing the key element of surprise and reality of burglars and firefighters...I'm so happy that seasons is finally coming why not burglars too? Please bring burglars back and I will gladly shut my mouth and eat pie(cherry).

They should bring burglars back. I don't understand why people would be triggered. My brother and I always laughed at it and then we were pretty darn annoyed if we didn't buy an alarm or have a brave sim on the lot. If we did have an alarm or a brave sim, the joke is on the burglar! Ha Ha.

As a side note, if I have the gnomes lot trait on, it makes a powerful and sudden tune in the middle of the night. Many times, I have mistaken that for a burglar tune.
