Service

Services are NPCs that your Sim can call to perform specific tasks.


 * Fire Department: The fire alarm should alert the fire department whenever there is a fire, but if you don't have one, it is best to phone them up quickly. If you prank call them when there is no fire, you will get a §100 fine.


 * Police: Call the police if you're in the process of being burgled. It helps to have a phone in the bedroom near the bed to minimize the distance you have to walk to make the call. If you have a burglar alarm, the cops will come right over. If you have to call them manually, they probably won't arrive in time. Calling a false alarm to the police station results in a stern warning. However, in The Sims 2, you will get a fine of §500. If you do not have enough money, they will take away 1 piece of furniture.


 * Pizza Man: Pizza isn't very good at satisfying a Sim's Hunger bar, and it costs §40, but it is useful if the fridge is bare or if you're having a party.
