Who wants burglars, firefighters and police back?

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.
  • I'd really like firefighters back, it's irritating to have that fire alarm that doesn't do anything. Burglars would be fun. I kinda wish that they could make the criminal career more interactive, and if you have Get To Work it could interact with the Detective career more. I kinda wish that there were also social worker NPC's that came and took your kid and not just "we're going to magic them out of existence and it'll be impossible to every get them back in any way shape or form" cuz that's irritating
  • Wait, are there not firefighters? That explain why no one showed up despite the fire alarm. But why are there fire alarms then? My sim almost died until I realized they could go into the shower (they didn't follow my instructions when I told them to just put out the fire).
    The burglars I noticed right away weren't existing, as I was looking for a burglar alarm when playing in my first house, and I remember they used to show up ALL THE TIME in TS1 and TS2 (haven't played 3, skipped directly to 4 this year). So I figured when I haven't seen them after playing for a few days, that they aren't really a thing.
    I want a thrill in the game! They don't need to come by cars, just pretty please show up in my house!
  • I'd like them all to return. I'm still a bit sore about my very first play, when I set the kitchen on fire, sent my sim outside and waited like a schmuck for the firefighters I wasn't aware didn't exist in this game, while everything inside got reduced to ash. xD
  • 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.
