So with City Living we gotten a lot trait that causes earthquakes and I was disappointed that they didn't really do anything major because have a camera shake and annoy the sims a bit (they don't even freak out). I wished we had a firefighter career and one that is more active so he could rescue sims that were trapped in an earthquake or fire, kind of like in Ambitions for Sims 3.
Do you think we will ever get anything like that? There is so much wasted potential it seems. Even with the police career and criminal career, we don't see any burglars or anything like that anymore. We need more fun and random things to happen again to keep the game from getting boring. Sims 3 wasn't my favorite (it is my least favorite, Sims 2 is my favorite); but even they had some random things like that happen.
I actually enjoy going with my Sims to work but the drawback is leaving Sims in the household behind. We can control those left behind to a certain extent but would like to see instead of "care for self" a sleep, eat and shower option. I totally agree with you that we miss out on fun and random things in the Sims 4. I hope we get more careers.

I hope so. It has been nice to have some more active careers in packs (like Get To Work, and the vet career in cats and dogs) so I hope we continue to get more. I've always found active careers and "hobby careers" (not sure what to call them but basically using the skills to make money, like writing, painting, fishing etc) way more fun and interesting than just sending your sims to some outside lot each day for a few hours.
I can't consider being a vet as an "active career" as in the sense that the game doesn't register you as being a Vet at all, just like it doesn't register store owners, and restaurant owners.
If I could think up a new active career that may be pretty interesting to work in, perhaps something in acting? That could have lots of interesting scenarios to play out on a typical work day.
I feel the Sims 4 could make so much more of the skills our Sims achieve and I am disappointed that the retail options in the game are not as good as they were in the Sims 2. I loved running a restaurant and finding numerous ways to make different retail outlets and sell many of the things my Sims made. It was a lot of fun back then. In the Sims 4 having to make career decisions at level 6 in all careers except the Get to Work where our Sims can't fulfill both sections I find restrictive and not sure why they did this.
