Fire department?

No~

(post body count too short)

WTH?

Why did I just give the franchise another $60.00 for expansions when something as basic as a fire dept isn't available? What was I thinking.

Game has been out for far too many years to not have fire fighters, police or burglars. A total waste of money on my part. I was hoping for so much more with the expansions.

I don't understand it either. It's very disappointing!

It is sad. I shouldn't have said "what was I thinking" I should have said "what was EA thinking".

This is just ridiculous and feels like a shell of a game. Here I thought, buy some expansions, and flesh out the game... Not with the expansions I bought,.

Sad that I can't refund expansion packs or I would.

Shame, EA, shame on you.

The Fire Prevention System Utility Panel, when placed outside your house, can pretty much activate the sprinklers within a few seconds. Some suggest having the fire prevention system in the room where the fire risk is higher. I would be surprised that the fire prevention system hasn't been installed in the apartments. In real life, apartments have to have a smoke detector and a sprinkler system linked up.

Don't rely on thoughts. There's tons of information available on all the expansions so there's not really much of a reason to make assumptions over what you're going to get for your money. The power is very much in your hands.

Yeah I guess I just (here we go again) "thought" that fire dept. & police were in the base game. I've rarely played TS4, spent most of my time in TS3 so just assumed (you know, made an ass out of me) that something as basic was in the base game.

So by the time that I had my first kitchen fire in TS4 it was after buying the 3 expansions that I just bought.

I miss police officers and firefighters as well. Roasted a sim accidentally before I caught on to the prevention system and wonky sim response dynamics. At the end of the day this game is the gurus'; we get what they think we need (although they give largely token efforts to make it seem like it's the consumers') and I can only hope they decide it's something their story needs.

Sorry for laughing but yeah fire men NEED to be in this game.

Not all of my sims are brave souls who put their fires out themselves. Its completely unimmersive.

Sprinkler system puts out the fire fast. Didn't you install the sprinkler? Lots faster than fire departments - besides no roads for fire trucks or police either so no point in having them if they can't get to your house or apt.
