You know what I always wonder about - what's the point of the fire alarm in tS4? It's not like anyone's actually gonna come extinguish the fire for you, right? So is it just like an alarm to make sure sleeping sims wake up & get out??
But yes, burglars & firemen NPCs all the way!
Well I think that's how smoke detectors usually work. Most smoke detecetors are single station and just make noise to warn you (or your neighbors) of a potential fire. Of course some high end detectors (and also some public area smoke detectors) are also connected to a sprinkler system and to a monitoring company that can alert the fire department but I don't think that's usually the standard in most homes.
In TS4 when the alarm goes off, sims drop anything they're doing and run to the fire and freak out, so I guess it's pretty realistic lol I just wish they could also call the fire dept instead of (I) risking their lives to put out the fire or (2) let their furniture burn.
