Re: Sims 4 Fire

So at the moment, a fire has burnt down half of my sim's house, hence why i'm here. I cannot click on anything (i get no options but rather a floating red message that says something like "cannot perform action as there is a fire on site"). It says the same thing when I try to go to build mode, hoping to buy something that'll put it out, and when I tried to click manage housholds because I was giving up. Sooo, yeah, I can't do anything and none of these comments (that I've seen so far) seem to work in my current predicament. I don't know what to do! Suggestions?

Exit the game, you can't save it, and then come back in and it will not have happened, of course, you may lose things up until then, but at least you don't lose as much when your house burns down!

I had the same issue. I couldn't extinguish or do anything else. I ended up pausing the game and using the move objects cheat. I was ale to move the grill (that was on fire) out of the way, then I was able to click on the fire and extinguish it.

Something I'd suggest is keep saving. Save every achievement. Might seem like too much, but in case of a fire, or sim dying, etc., you're going to be happy you saved. If that's not enough, do it when you have a major accomplishment. Frankly, I had that problem myself with the oven. First, I went to the shower, then clicked a burning tile, extinguished it, then the oven. I bought everything back with ease. (prooooobably because I used cheats to get 5 million, but whatever. 🤓 How does one get a ton of money, you ask? Go into Live mode, pause it if you need and press Ctrl+Shift+C. After you do that, type in Motherlode to get 50,000. Do it enough, you'll be good on money for a looooooooong while.)

Hope what I said helped. 🙂
