How has it been almost several years and yet we STILL HAVE NOT HAD BURGLARS?! As well as only now receiving firefighters when for years the ability was there already coded into our games so fires were able to be dealt with.
Like firefighting, we basically have all the code/actions for burglars and police, WE EVEN HAVE POLICE IN THE FORM OF AN ACTIVE CAREER!
So where are burglars? Where are NPC cops to come and whisk off the robbers who try to steal stuff our sims have worked hard for? (Or not but you know).
They're bringing back minor NPC's but fail to understand we NEED police, we NEED burglars, we need our games to have an element of danger, more than just that which comes with the fold-down bed with the possibility of killing our sims quicker and easier than the fire itself does!
No disrespect to the Guru's/Staff, I'm just tired of seeing half announcements, half updates, half packs, half of everything.
Have a nice day and keep simming

I hope they do come eventually though.
But given we have firefighters, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sims team is working on it.
Technically cockroaches were added in city living. With the needs TLC lot trait you can get rats, roaches and a series of other issues. I do hope they expand that and make it so roaches are released from that lot trait. I mean you can have rats without it I believe in Cats and Dogs they give you the option to out a mouse hole anywhere and it actually has mice spawn. So they should be able to do the same with roaches
Yeh it doesn't make sense to just be in City Living when there's a whole entire world in this game with garbage and greenery where rats and cockroaches could realistically be, in their attempt to Theme everything i think they have to pay more attention to those smaller those if it's just better in just the Base Game or just in a Pack. I guess maybe keep rats in Cats and Dogs cos Who will catch the rats if there's never an Exterminator?.
It would be fun if the sims could fight the repomen.
It isn't as if Guru's can defend it with the "Not wanting to upset simmers", because again, VLAD! Stealing, violence, death, poisoning (Technical murder), assault, really, I cannot see the issue with having another negative element to the sims 4, especially when I doubt they'd bring back the creepy music from older series or the stereotypical outfit of our beloved burglars.
It just feels a bit ridiculous, it's been several YEARS and still no burglars, nowhere near as many NPC's as we used to have in the sims 2/3, and as much as I understand they need to switch things up to keep the game series fresh, there's nothing fresh about giving us half plum content that has nothing to do with what we've actually asked for.
It shouldn't take YEARS to make something simmers can basically create themselves in-game, just because it doesn't suit their agenda/content plan.
To have an inactive kleptomaniac Sim walk in to someone's house (reused vampire break-in) to perform existing interaction (Swipe an item), and police to perform fight interaction on them and walk with them off the lot if they win else run away.
I mean, there's barely anything tedious for developers to do to my understanding. Sure, might take time to design outfit for burglars and animate being handcuffed, but everything else can be reused (which would be reasonably understandable) if reinventing things is an issue.
here's the tweet I would love it if they came back and if we had npc police and if the burglars were also an active career and are sims could
go to jail in a rabbit hole or gtw if you have it
me to
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
Given some of the mods by Sacrificial, I think that's actually possible. If burglars do come to the game, I think I'm gonna take full advantage of that. As I tended to do with vampire break-ins..... And I say I don't do anything in this game that I wouldn't in real life. Whoops!
I would so love that in Sims 4.😍
