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

Who wants burglars, firefighters and police back?

So long as you can stop the Burglars, or the Police do, because my inability to get my stolen stuff back in The Sims 3 made me despise them.

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?

Do you consider detectives, police? They're a hybrid that has a jail. Do you want the police to be a career, or an NPC job? If it's a job, do you want it to be an active career like detectives?

I'm honestly glad burglars are not in the sims4, was one of those things that was fun to have happen 1-3x but after that it just got annoying, don't really remember much about the police actually....
firefighters are the only ones I missed, but not that much either.

I would like to have all of them in game. I liked how they were in Sims 2, haven't played Sims 3 so I don't know if they were better or worse in there.

Also would like to be able to do something when sim with kleptomaniac trait is stealing stuff from my store for example, it's annoying to just watch them to steal your stuff and not be able to do anything! (It's been some time since that happened, so I don't know if that thing has changed.)

Have anybody else noticed that all paparazzi sims always have kleptomaniac trait?

I don't think everyone of should have that trait.. it would fit better with that stan(?) sim (both from Get Famous EP). I was thinking that it was supposed to be their trait or something but there was mistake made and now all paparazzi sims have that trait.. I don't know.

Does anyone has that happening in game? For me it's 100% of time, and I have more than one game save that I play and that happens in all of them. I always delete them or change their traits, since I don't too much kleptomaniacs in my game especially because you can't do noting when you see them stealing stuff.

Burglars used to make me anxious... haha! However, I'd like firefighters back as my Sims tend to start alot of fires (accidentally, of course!) And I'd rather get my sim out of the house and let the firefighters put it out. I also like the idea of making firefighter a career.

Make it 40% chance of a villain showing up on the community lot you are in so it doesn't happen constantly , you can phone the police, fight them back cartoon style lol, make you sims praised from the other sims on that lot if you did ? and I know my human sim has 3 that is her friends lol , maybe have mugging etc in your interactions but they are consciences if you do lol

I love this idea. I really feel like sims need something like that. And they more than anything they need to REACT. Fight back,call cops,protect their loved ones, whatever.
What I find most frustrating about sims is their lack of reaction.

I know the game is rated 12, but I feel theres nothing wrong with pushing the boundaries a tiny bit, keep it to the cartoon violence nothing too extreme, the urbz was rated 12 and it did have mugging etc, it's all in how they do it @Babykittyjade
