my sims lot has been on fire for 3 days now! the fire goes out but comes back a minute later. its killing of the town members one by one the ones who run over anyways! now the town is almost empty due this fire and story progression {they keep on dying of hunger according to the newspaper}!! this happened once before and the family died off eventually of fire or starvation. i have no idea what to do!! I cant edit town when there is a fire and the keeps coming back so i cant edit town.my sims are also dirt poor :| *sighs*The fire doesn't go out!! i finally manged to get the sims away from that lot even though half the family is dead but as soon as i got them out the mom got hit by a meteor such a horrible coincidence. the lot is still on fire even though the sims are moved out and people are still dying :\ A tribute to the sims who have died due my glitch:Beverly Castor Milly pidginAlma DrillMorgan AshlandJeffry CastorDeAndre WolfLeslie AshlandSammie Ashland Michelle AshlandSkeet BaylessTay baylessand all the unlucky ones who keep dying and coming back to life

This probably isn’t helpful as it has been so long but...ages ago I had this problem and I put a sprinkler down and that fixed it after a long period of time. I couldn’t do the pool tactic which someone said above as I had a basement underneath. Sadly I have this issue again and it isn’t going but you could try what I said above. Hope this helps.(I wrote this ages ago but forgot to post it so I will try post it again to see if it could help anyone)?

when you moved them out try testingcheat and shift click on the house then object delete see if it will delete it. or call fire fighter if the fire is causing deaths then the fire is there so the firefighter shold put it out. if you have moved them out of the house you should beable to edit town from there new house, i know you can't if there on the lot the fires on cause it says you can't edit town while there a fire on lot.

if you use mods there allways twallan super computer this can be set for moving sims to another home without editing town, there a add sims , you can click your family then add them to another lot then edit town and delete the lot. or you can switch to another household in game then edit town evict the sims and then delete the lot.

I have NO mods, and little custom content. I had had this bug since World Adventures. I once took a trip to France, the fireplace caught fire, kept sparking. I went home early. Waited a few days, went back to France. It was still burning.

Last night, I had a bad one. I let it go in REAL time from 10pm till 4am, as I wandered off for bathroom, munchies, read a book, and more. I caught it when it stopped for a few moments. Deleted everything on fire. Removed floor tiles. Put a wall up. Later put new floor tiles back. Had about 9 Sims die of fire or starvation. 2 others had Loser or Unlucky, and the Grim Reaper kept bringing them back to die again. The fire alarm would go off, the firefighter would come over, would say "I can't reach it, hopefully it will burn out on its own" even after I removed everything in the room! What the heck is it catching on?!?

The fire raged on for over a Sim week before I got tired of watching it. I remember for Sims 1 and 2, there was a cheat to reset the entire lot. Is that cheat still out there? Might it work?
