But, Sims 4 is rated T for Teen.

It's rated M though. I have never seen a game or movie with a rating such as "T" in my life.

In US it is Teen.

I'm fine with no burglars. I can't even go to sleep if i know/feel that my front door is unlocked, i don't need my Sims like that too, better yet it actually happening to them.

I loved the burglar. When my Sims couldn't afford an alarm it made the game difficult to replace things that got stolen when a Sim household was just starting out. And how their aspirations were dragged down with bad things that happened.

I loved it when an alarm was installed and the police would come along and try and capture the burglar, they didn't always succeed because it depended how "fit" the Sim was. Even a Sim in the household could try and tackle the burglar if they were fit enough.

I miss many of the NPC's that used to be in previous Sim games and how it was out of control of the player once a burglar entered the lot, a bit like when the vampire enters a lot in the Sims 4. Another NPC I really miss is the Social Bunny, because when things like the burglar appearing and items getting stolen gave your Sim bad moods and could tip your Sim over the edge. The Social Bunny would appear and pick them up.

RepoMan was a lot more fun when he turned up instead of getting a message now about water and electricity being turned off. To me these kind of "uncontrollable" animations was part of the Sims.

The Charlatan was another thing he would come on community lots and take from your Sim, I did find it annoying but when you don't have these sort of things in the game you do miss them. It made for some great pictures which I used to capture in the Sims 2 and the put them into the "custom painting" file so my Sims could paint it and sell it through Open for Business.

I don't like fires in my game but it was a whole lot more entertaining when the firefighters turned up. Now our Sims produce a magical extinguisher and put the fire out, no skill is needed. Not as entertaining as a fire truck or firefighters turning up. And I have had quite a lot of fires in the Sims 4 with more packs added, but not had a death so far. I am waiting on that, although I'm not sure I would like my Sim dying in the middle of my controlled game, although we all know there are things that can save a Sim from dying in the Sims 4.

These are just some of the things I miss in the Sims 4.

Only person that comes creepin' in your house are vampires, except they're here to steal your plasma and not your toilet. :p

Or to stand outside your front door until they die of sun exposure. :o

My sim is an early riser, she goes jogging each morning and invariably finds a vamp dragging itself home only to be stopped for a chat with my sim as she slowly lures the steaming vamp back to her abode. 'Lets discuss the finer points of heat exhaustion shall we?'

I don’t miss them. It was fun beating up the burglars, but my most recent S3 game they showed way way too often. Like several times a week often. Only marginally less annoying than paparazzi.

I couldn't stand the paparazzi, I was so happy when I found a mod to disable them!! I pray they DO NOT bring them back to sims 4.

I wish they would bring back burglars and firefighters as well. I mean, they're iconic to The Sims series! (Especially the burglar)

I miss the burglar and want him or her back. @PrincessrozeeS summed it up beautifully for me.

Burglars would be great. Actually, you know what be ever greater? Adding burglars and then having a burglar section in the criminal career of which you can join and you'd have to complete certain tasks in order to get into and out of the house without being caught. Things like disabling the alarm system, getting into the house buy a window, making sure that you don't go into a room with sim unless they're sleeping, sticking to the rooms that have the lights off. You would have to steal a specific item in order for the heist to be successful. I think it would be a fun addition. But really, just the addition of burglars would be fine enough, the rest of my comment is just a pipe dream.

And maybe, just maybe when/if they add cars they'll bring back firefighters (career opportunity?) and police NPCs. That'd be cool.
