So will we finally see firemen?

«1
This is probably like the biggest cliche, but with pets coming out ... will firemen come back??? Especially if dogs have careers.

    I can't remember and am too lazy to find the tweet - but a guru put a pole on her twitter asking about which NPC people miss the most. I'm sure it has nothing to do with bringing NPCs back in *cough* or it does *cough*

    ETA: this is what I was talking about

    Sure that we will, cause we already got nannies and butlers back. I think we may hope on something new too, cause we already got cooks, barmen, piano players, gardeners and so on.

    Don't know about firemen but if we can have firefighters it would be great :) prefer to have both male and female ones. Could see one or two of my girls looking for a cool firefighter lady.

    I don't want firemen to return till cars return firemen poofing on the lot does not cut it for me.

    Curious about this too. Any confirmation either way?

    I think we'll get firefighters around whatever time they decide to give us burglars and cops as well

    Well, pets are uncontrollable. So, no, I don't think there are pet careers.

    They were in uncontrollable in TS2 too but still had careers.

    Maybe with seasons? Was just thinking last night how firemen might have to come with seasons - I remember having some epic fires from lightning hitting trees :|

    I mean when you think about it, the sprinkler already in game puts out a fire very quickly so adding a fireman at this point almost feels like they would be working backwards.

    Sims 2 pets were uncontrollable and they had careers. It is controllable pets that can't have careers and why Sims 3 pets did not have them. Besides there was talk about the pets having careers but I don't recall where I saw it. It might have been an interview during Gamescom. Not much was said about it - it was just mentioned as being like in Sims 2.

    Sims 1and 2 both had what is considered uncontrollable pets - only Sims 3 had controllable pet Sims. The only pets in Sims ever to be a controllable sim. So sims 4 pets are as controllable as Sims 1 or Sims 2 pets.

    Regardless of whether or not they add back firefighters, I hope they at least make fires more common/more ferocious, because at the moment they hardly ever happen unless you've practically set one up to happen, and when you do get a fire they don't last very long.

    I disagree, instead of it being a rushed no effort feature like the sprinkler that adds no game play or story options you would have a fireman rushing in to save the day not to mention I have seen a few simmers desperate to have their Sim marry the fireman which does not work so well with the sprinkler. Do you also feel the same way with dating options and feel what we have works well since a sim can chat it up and a few minutes later be woohooing and married and adding in something more complex would be going be going backwards since its just so easy now?

    At this point with no cars I'm in no rush for firemen but if they ever do come I would hope fires happen more frequently have only had 1 happen.

    Seems like the most involved part of adding firefighters would be designing uniforms and deciding to what extent/how they should operate. I mean, they'd probably just poof on the lot, the way any invited NPC arrives, then run to put out the fire. But should they just use the extinguish interaction? Are people hoping for them to have a firetruck and a hose? What's the hope for how they would function?

    yes, it's in the same place where you find the smoke alarm.

    There should still be firemen or burglars in a patch, I believe some icons were leaked not too long ago? Regardless, I miss burglars and firemen they've been in the game forever and add both help and a challenge, and burglars would work really well with GTW.

    I do believe they will give us burglars and firemen at some point. There are way too many complaints about them being missing. They're just taking their sweet time as with most additions to this game. It don't really care about how long it is taking though, I'm convinced they'll be here someday (I'm an optimist).
