Why do we have a fire alarm but no fire department?

I guess they made the fire alarm object in the game and then decided not to code in the actual Fire Department NPCs? At least they then added in the actual fire prevention device to put out the fires.

Why not add Servos back to the game? I loved him in the original game. Some of the later versions became alittle too "human" for me but the original robot design was handy.

Maybe they plan on adding back an interactive Firefighter career at some point ... that would be awesome

Yea, I miss firefighters, and I don't know why they were left out. The alarm is more like a decoration now.

The fire alarm is an alert to let our Sims know there is a fire. They gather children and rush out to the curb. The sprinkles put out the fire. A Sim can also help extinguish the fire.

I don't use mods and fires in my game are very realistic. IMO we don't need firefighters. In past games my Sims usually had the fire out before they arrived anyway.

To hard, to expensive?

This is just another example of the watered-down game that TS4 is. TS1 had firefighters, TS1 had burglars, I could go on and on!

Same reason for a lot of lacking NPC's. They simply didn't have ''time'' to finish it.
Instead they were just rushing to release the game as fast as possible....

Remember the teaser trailer? the one with the social bunny, tragic clown and all that stuff? That teaser trailer was another example of how NOT to advertise a game.

Oh, neither would I, but if that happens, I hope there are a few hot lady firefighters while they're at it. *drools*

IMO the missing NPCs are not needed because of additional/extended game play. It has nothing to time to finish the game. (hearsay anyway)
