Firefighters, then where are BURGLARS?!

How has it been almost several years and yet we STILL HAVE NOT HAD BURGLARS?! As well as only now receiving firefighters when for years the ability was there already coded into our games so fires were able to be dealt with.


Like firefighting, we basically have all the code/actions for burglars and police, WE EVEN HAVE POLICE IN THE FORM OF AN ACTIVE CAREER!

So where are burglars? Where are NPC cops to come and whisk off the robbers who try to steal stuff our sims have worked hard for? (Or not but you know).



They're bringing back minor NPC's but fail to understand we NEED police, we NEED burglars, we need our games to have an element of danger, more than just that which comes with the fold-down bed with the possibility of killing our sims quicker and easier than the fire itself does!




No disrespect to the Guru's/Staff, I'm just tired of seeing half announcements, half updates, half packs, half of everything.



Have a nice day and keep simming
  • Well i'm not going to be buying the packs but i really don't want the game to get TOO realistic i mean it's just a game... they aren't supposed to be too realistic and already there are many situations that happen in the game that doesn't happen in real life and it's a lot of pretending, they're trying to make it more and more realistic for some fans that want it but i don't think it's possible but i personally don't want that and the sims feel real enough to me in The Sims 2 especially when they look at you... LOL, in theory putting real life situations into a game sounds cool but when you do it's just really boring, it's just like "Oh yeh... there's that sim stealing my stuff..." but because eventually you start making a balanced amount of money for your sim where they can pay for stuff but don't have too much money you can just rebuy what they stole LOL. Something about the Robbers though just makes it SO much more exciting and scared lol.
  • What we should be asking is...if we have got firefighters and repomen with this pack, what kind of pack will Maxis eventually put burglars in? I'm sure they'll come sometime.

    Given some of the mods by Sacrificial, I think that's actually possible. If burglars do come to the game, I think I'm gonna take full advantage of that. As I tended to do with vampire break-ins..... And I say I don't do anything in this game that I wouldn't in real life. Whoops!
  • I am so excited to see firemen in my game when the patch drops <3 <3 , but I really don't want burglars. :# :# Probably unpopular opinion, but I hated them in TS2 and TS3. They were annoying and stupid. I feel like if we did get them, we need a switch for each NPC and there could be a way to turn them on or off depending on whether or not we wanted them. :)
  • If you have Get Famous, stans pretty much serve that function, they invade your home, take your stuff, eat your food, swim in your pool...
  • Seeing as we're getting the Repoman, I'd say that code will help them code burglars; and then they can just update the cops in Get To Work.. however, they'll need to probably make a police officer for the base game, for those who don't have Get To Work..

    I'm just glad we're getting three new NPCS this update (well, maybe two in the patch, and one in Eco Lifestyle?). :) It leaves me optimistic for burglars and updated police. As well as other NPCS in future updates. <3

    Stans are pretty much burglars, you're right, but more self-entitled, instead of grab and go, it's more "Imma chill here, sniff your laundry, take a few trinkets and pet the dog", they're close but sadly, not on the same negativity level, they're bad! don't get me wrong, tho you can rid yourself of them by clearing the Stan trait, with burglars, you can't, even with alarms/dogs/brave sims, a thief could still take SOMETHING regardless of what you do to stop it.


    Stans are an option, burglars are like alien abductions, you can minimize their appearance but eventually, they'll show up whether you're ready or not.


    At least with burglars, they won't leave you any 18 year long annoyances.

    Well, repomen act like burgulars.
    It would be fun if the sims could fight the repomen.


    i always thought a trap door would be useful. in sims 3 i deleted the stairs and they floated in. so i guess i wouldn't work
  • I hope nPC police and burglars are next and I hope that our Sims can go to a rabbit hole jail or the one from get to work if we have it
