Don't. Don't thank them for something that is a core gameplay feature. A core gameplay feature that's been missing for 6 years.

It's nice to have, but this is something they should've included on day one, or at least in the first year, after they brought back pools and ghosts.

Thanking them tells EA that this is okay, and that if they do it again in TS5, the community will lap it up.

No saying thank you is a good thing and people should be grateful for work someone does even if they are getting paid for it they worked hard and they deserve some gratitude

Grateful.

For giving us something that should have been in the game 6 years ago.

Six.

Years.

No. ???? 'em.

I'll thank the devs for the improved bill system. I'll thank them for making wood items more flammable than others. I'll thank them for making items generate electricity and water.

I won't thank them for delivering on releasing what are the bare minimum features expected for a Sims base game.

Then don’t lol

Ok. Wasn't planning to.

Look, at the end of the day, thanking EA for this sends the message that it's okay to do this.

It tells them that they can cut features out of Sims 5, and people will be okay with it, because they'll release them half a decade later.

It tells them that they can do whatever they want, because the Simmers want one thing and one thing only: to give them money.

Am I glad firefighters are back? Of course I am.

But I also don't want this to happen ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again, and neither should you.

The devs add many things I don't want and have left out many things I did. This is not Sims 2, this is not Sims 3. We can't look at those versions of the game and say "I want all aspects of them here again". Sims 4 is different in good and bad ways from it's predecessors. We also can't look at the game at launch, say "This is wrong that these things are missing!" because we don't know if they are always going to be missing or if they are going to be added later. We also can't say something is missing if they never promised us it would be added. They are also under no kind of obligation to add anything to the game that the community asks for. No Sims game has ever been completely fleshed out at launch - ever. Since this thread deals specifically with firefighters - they weren't in game until the Sims 3 and even then not at launch but through the Ambitions expansion pack. We didn't have playable firefighters in the Sims 2 unless we somehow managed to get them into our household and even then they weren't firefighters anymore. The last thing is, what you want? And what you place as high priority? Someone else will say "meh" because they won't want that at all. And even if they did implement what we want it may not be done the way we would want to have it done. Every expansion, game pack, stuff pack, free content update, adds to the options of my gameplay on this version of the Sims. For that I will say "thanks".

(So as not to derail the thread - I think it's neat that firefighters are making a comeback. I hope that burglars will too.)
