Few more bugs I've realized EA games

The first bug working the architecture job, get to the final level of the job sim comes home get an error.  Did not get a screenshot.  The second bug I appreciate we can educate or sim about fire safety to stop them from dying.  It is not exactly useful when I encounter a fire and attempt to extinguish it I get an error when trying to use the fire extinguisher.  The fire department can come and put it out with no problem though.  The third one is probably a fluke, adjusting the audio as I'm listening to a podcast, the game randomly crashes...  How are we doing on resolving these issues?

  • Fire Safety is known to be bugged and not work. Simler90 made a mod in 2019 to fix it. Description:

    There are a few problems with fires in the Sims 2. This mod fixes them:
    - Studying Fire Safety does not do anything. This mod makes it so that sims who have studied Fire Safety will never panic, and will try to extinguish fires. If a fire tile is already being extinguished by someone else, the sim will not attempt to extinguish the same tile, and will try to extinguish another tile if there is one. This makes sims who have studied Fire Safety very valuable assets to any household or even the entire neighbourhood, as this mod allows sims who have studied Fire Safety to extinguish fires even if they are non-selectable visitors on a lot.
    - Ghosts can be pushed to react to fires, which makes the game delete the ghost and show the notification "Sim has died on another lot". This has been fixed.

  • I appreciate the reply, I think I have that mod but I’m not 1000% have to take a look before I play again. They would really be cool if that just fixes it.  I guess in theory it would make sense. Normally they panic and you can’t do anything regardless I just thought it was something new but I’ve been out of the sim realm for a long time.
