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.

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

Who wants burglars, firefighters and police back?

yes i really want them back! I found the thief annoying in the sims 3. But now in the sims 4 I miss them very much. I also want firefighters back, if the alarm goes off, because I "accidentally" burn people.
By the way, I have voted for "all 3", but we already have police?...Or not?

We have detectives, It would be fun if We got called to a museum or a expensive mansion that was in the process of getting robbed.
like the thief trips security, and the Police station gets an alert.

you get to the scene and you either successfully apprehend the thief or, the thief gets away and opens the chance to solve a robbery case to track down the thief, recover the stolen items and put the robber in jail.

With The Realm of Magic on the way I would like to be able to use my sim's Powers to Stop a thief. Same with Vampires and Hopefully in the near future, werewolves. I feel like if a Thief dare broke into my Sorcerer's House or werewolf's Mansion, it would be an epic scene! my sorcerer would roast the thief alive, and the werewolf, maim the thief.

I can do without the burglers unless after they are caught it puts the item back where they got it authomatically.

I would like them back like in the Sims3, where you can solve crimes, catch criminals, speak to victims, witnesses. Etc

@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.

I don't like leaving one of my Sims alone if I have a multi-sim household. It's a toss-up on whether the Reaper is there when you get back. Heaven forbid you go to work and have a toddler/baby at home w/nanny. Better find a way to kill the social worker. You won't see improvements to the AI, so yeah.

I really really REALLY want all those dudes back. it would add more spice and realism to the game.

Also, I don't want to have my sim put out fires
