I Just Want Burglar, Fireman, and Police NPCs.
I know this topic has been beat to death on here, but seriously. The game came out in 2014. It's been 5 years. I don't understand why these basic NPCs aren't part of the game.

I don't understand how someone can have pleasure playing a game that's so easy. No fires, no burglar. I understand how Vlad showing up in every first gameplay night can bem annoying, vampires are supposed to be hard to find/become one, but realistic things?! I want my Sims to HAVE to wash their dishes, otherwise they would attract bugs and cockroaches. I want my sim tô be more careful/afraid to cook by themselves for the first time, otherwise they'll set the house on fire. I want the Unsavory Charlatan + Burglar tô make my gameplay harder. I want to have to wash their clothes, pra make their beds. Clean puddles. Etc. Etc. Sims 4 life IS to perfect, everything makes my sim happy, there is no reward in trying to make them feel pleasure, but its also Impossible for them to feel bad even If i wanted too. Like... This is why I mainly build/design Sims... I wanted to bad to play A GAME, but there is no playability if you don't even need to cheat to have a rich sim/happy sim/a good relationships/attraction/etc
I totally agree - burglars, firemen, repo man etc. were all adding unpredictability and variety to the game in other versions. Without them there really aren't any meaningful failures or consequences in the game, like not paying your bills for example.
Yes. Real Life is not easy and I don't admire a game where teenagers, who the game is aimed at, don't get any consequences for stupid actions, like not having a fire or burglar alarm and be able to magically make things better. I was always annoyed with myself when I got burgled in Sims 2 but it educated me to play better and avoid burglars in the future. Fires in this game can also be annoying and difficult to avoid. They last too long and everything else stops. The last barbecue fire I had set fire to the fence and slowly went all the way round with neighbour Sims walking past and taking no notice at all. We must get the fire brigade back.
The whole emphasis in the game was 'This is life. Deal with it' with all it's problems and there are consequences to what we do and we need to get back to that. Those 13 year olds in 2014 are 5 years older now Maxis.
