I don't know if it is just the luck of the draw, but I haven't had a single spontaneous fire or burglary attempt on any of my lots since I installed Nightlife. I have considerable game playtime in since the install and should think I would have had some trouble by now.
I did check, and can create a fire in a toaster. I don't think I have any hacks running other than the coffee cup hack.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I've had a fire or two, but no burglaries. Then again, I can count on one hand the number of burglaries I've had since installing Uni, let alone Nightlife. They only happen so often and I have so many lots I probably just haven't played any of them long enough for the next scheduled burglary to roll round.

My story is different though I must say I resetted my game after I install Nightlife.
I had 3 or 4 burglaries, a few fires but I notice the appliances brake less often.

I didn't know fire & burglaries were a timed event. That maybe it, I only have a few sim days of play time on anyone lot. Since, I have mainly been updating my lots with driveways and cars, and the family's with attractions.

Ive had a pretty spectacular fire involving crepe suzette and a sim with lousy cooking skills. It was almost fatal.

You don't get burglaries if you only have the college installed, the game only generates burglars if you enter the main neighbourhood, so if you are growing sims up to start a new hood, they won't get burgled. I know because I noticed in SimPE that this hood hasn't regenerated any burglars since I deleted All characters. and when the burglars do appear, they''ll all be turned into babies - then they can't burgle! (Only works for burglars, I'm afraid, Uni characters still come and visit your lot and lie on the portal!) works for any really annoying delievery persons who don't deliver properly, or say you haven't paid them when you have! But as soon as another sim orders groceries, the game replaces them. I think it works for burglars because your sim doesn't normally call to order a burglary!

Now that you mention it I have not had a single burglary. I have played many different families and played each individually for log periods of time. It could be just luck of the draw, but it is weird.
I have the no fire hack so I don't get those.

I hate them because of the way the kids get so upset and you have a real job to get them to go to school the next day!

Yes, I've been leaving hot sports cars outside lots with no alarms. Still no burglaries. I have a custom n'hood and did deleteallcharacters so I guess I have no burglars.  |

I am playing a custom neighborhood and am going on my fourth generation with only one fire and no burglaries. I started off the neighborhood by deleting all the chars but regenerated all the NPCs. The theives' file are there, they just haven't come around yet. You don't get burglaries if you only have the college installed I thought burglaries weren't supposed to happen at Uni either, but in my pre-NL neighborhood my Greek house Sims were robbed. It shocked the hell out of me and the whole scene played out very strangely - the cop came and handcuffed the burglar but he still got away - and my Sims didn't receive a memory of it happening. |

Burglaries were always rare in my game. I don't care one way or another..I find them annoying lol
Fires...I've had a few since installing NL...mostly w/ sims with low cooking points as normal.
Oh yes...and one generated by a dumbass attack. I had a poor family who first burned their their entire kitchen. All the money they had left that could barely afford a new fridge and grill. I didn't realize that if you tried to stick a grill inside it would lead to fire breaking out each and everytime a sim tried to use it.
I guess a few things are like real life in that respect lol

I started with a clean install with Nightlife, began a custom hood for a brand new legacy, and was burgled within the first sim week. And had three fires within the first two sim week. Both events are more frequent for me; before Nightlife the only burglary I had was the preset Caliente one (which I played just to see it happen) and my sims generally only have one fire per sim.

P.S Did anybody got a car stolen yet? I was really looking forward to a good joyride! Well the burglar try to stole one of my Sims car but it was equipped with an alarm. One thing I notice is that the Sims did not wake-up because the car is outside. I wonder if I place it in a garage if it would wake them up or not. |

Ah, so your sims believe in JM's statement that sleep is for wusses.  I haven't had a burglary since Nina & Dina Caliente strangely enough. I do put a burglar alarm in each house and with NL, I get an alarm installed in each car. Paranoid that way I guess. I just had a fire today at the Tri Vu house. Tiffany Sampson was making spaghetti and nearly went up in flames. Had to keep telling the twit to get away from the fire.  |

Here is something for ya: Daily and weekly burglaries I haven't used it, however. I've never had a burglary. Not once. Maybe because I only make my Sims sleep when their energy is low, no matter what time of day it is, so a lot of them tend to be nocturnal. Maybe one of these days I should download one of those hacks just to experience what a burglary is like. |

the thing is... when the burglar steals the car, they stuff it in the bag like everything else - they don't get in and drive off, which is really quite disappointing!

Yes it would have been a good idea to make a special animation for the car that get stolen. Maybe in a future ep they will change that.

But it would hardly even need a special animation. The existing animations would have sufficed if the had programmed them in. That's just EA being lazy again. |
