Those three NPCs have been a huge part of the game since day 1 in the sims. Burglars and police added harmless drama, added a tiny bit of threat aswell. I've got to admit I miss them lol firefighters add realism.

Nope...Burglars are just Sims 4 vampires that wake you up and are easily stopped by putting an alarm outside your house. You end up with a negative moodlet in Sims 3 and it'll end up like the noisy neighbors in apartments.Police... is this supposed to an active career? We have detectives where you throw people in jail, but kind of pointless and buggy. If you mean random NPCs that fight burglars, they're worthless, too. They get beat up by the burglars most of the time.You make some good points. I voted for all 3 but really what I'd really like to see is some major updates to the npc's a.i. It'd also be really nice to be able to leave your sims at home without coming back to find them all half dead. They really need to improve whatever controls "self care" for sims because it's really terrible. If they improved the a.i. then maybe firemen, burglers and police would actually work. Most likely that's the reason they aren't in the game in the first place.

I want all 3 of them to return but cars must return before them otherwise I don't want them. I need firemen to pull up to the lot in a firetruck with flashing lights and for the police to be able to put the burglar in the backseat of their car and not just poof.

I'd be happy with just that much, though having cars back in their entirety would be ideal.Anyways, I miss all of these characters. Burglars were an ordeal to deal with, but added just that much more depth, playability and random zaniness that made the game so engaging, and cops and firefighters were also a fun touch.

They can have them coming out a helicopter, but cars would be better, the police can show up if a kid or teen is over there curfew aswell lol

I just want a little bit more drama added to the game and those 3 NPC did just that. The sim world is far too perfect ?Or know what else would be cool in the urbz they were villains that mugged people etc. It was okay for 12 year olds back then so why not lol

I want them all, it would be hilarious to eat at a restaurant and from a distance outide see a cop chasing a thief that stole a llama statue.?????
Or a firefighter climbing a ladder on his training the as you can follow them to work.

What is the point. They are not needed. They were in past ones. Enough. Modern times we have sprinklers. Police have their own hands on Careers. It's good the way it is.

@TheIntrovertSimmer Agreed... the odd events that happened in past iterations is what made things much more immersive and unpredictable. The playstyle is so linear now and consequences rarely ever occur that make a huge impact on a Sim's life. Whether towards the entire household or as an individual in public areas and home lots.
