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.

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 feel like if these three were added, they'd have object "cars" that function somewhat like NPC vehicles in Sims 2, in that they'd drop off the NPC who would use them while they're on the lot, then drive off and that's it. 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.
I don't like leaving one of my Sims alone if I have a multi-sim household. It's a toss-up on whether the Reaper is there when you get back. Heaven forbid you go to work and have a toddler/baby at home w/nanny. Better find a way to kill the social worker. You won't see improvements to the AI, so yeah.
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
I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking things were just too peaceful in this game, lol. I never thought I'd actually want there to be a possibility of my sims being mugged but jeez, give us something. Vampires aren't even a threat in this universe, and they're vampires, come on now.
Burglars added that little bit of thrill that TS4 lacks. Imagine interactions with Cats & Dogs, with pets trying to defend their home or running away scared, depending on their traits.
And I really thought firefighters were a thing in TS4, so the first time a fire started in my house, I was there waiting for them to show up... my kitchen was destroyed and one of my sims almost died...
Also, I don't want to have my sim put out fires
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?
firefighters are the only ones I missed, but not that much either.
like the thief trips security, and the Police station gets an alert.
you get to the scene and you either successfully apprehend the thief or, the thief gets away and opens the chance to solve a robbery case to track down the thief, recover the stolen items and put the robber in jail.
With The Realm of Magic on the way I would like to be able to use my sim's Powers to Stop a thief. Same with Vampires and Hopefully in the near future, werewolves. I feel like if a Thief dare broke into my Sorcerer's House or werewolf's Mansion, it would be an epic scene! my sorcerer would roast the thief alive, and the werewolf, maim the thief.
My Mood:
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.
