EDIT: Regarding needing cooking skill 2 to make a PB&J sandwich... I just had a sim flub making one, and start a fire in the process. O.o What the plumb was that sim doing?!

Now that takes talent (of a different kind). I've seen sims mess up simple to make recipes that do not require cooking and the food ends up being of poor or horrifying quality, but I had no idea they could set things on fire that way. You sure it wasn't a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich (Showtime, Level 5 cooking) or there wasn't a lit fireplace nearby that was the culprit? Or an annoyed sim in the household with magical skills who did NOT want peanut butter and jelly for dinner AGAIN so they set the dish (and maybe the sim) on fire?

I'm going back to my ice cream argument. Almost half the problems society faces today began early in our evolution when we started cooking our food before eating it. :p

While I have Showtime, it was disabled. Don't even have the deep fry cooker in the household. And what sort of raging lunatic puts a fireplace on a boat?! Certainly not the prefurnished houseboats in IP.

No idea how Ranko set fire to a PB&J sandwich that isn't even being made close to the stove. I'd added a couple more counter tops, and she'd chosen to make it as far away from the stove as possible. Then again she'd earlier (at 0 skill) caused a fire when trying to make waffles. But put it out fast enough that the stove wasn't damaged. The current stove has since been upgraded to be Fireproof to hopfully prevent future pyroclastic events of a food nature.

That said, she was outside fishing when a thunderstorm rolled in unexpectedly (the forcast said sunny all week). Got struck by lightning. It's raining cats and dogs (meow). And Ranko felt the need to run inside and jump into the shower to put out the fire burning on her rear end... that was already out before she even got half way around the houseboat due to the pouring rain.
