Wii fire code violation?!
So I'm trying to build a house on an empty lot and when I try to place it, it says "You are in violation of the fire code. You have reached the maximum number of objects you can place on the lot. I...

I tried it on another save and it worked, but there were a couple variables that may or may not have contributed to it working.
First of all, it wasn't the same house. Since you had asked me to try it on a different save, I just started a new game and immediately went to buy the house. Since I didn't take the time to get a job or earn money, I couldn't afford the same house that's giving me the problem.
Second of all, in the save that's giving me issues, I ran out of free space because prior to attempting to build a house on an empty lot, I lived in the mansion-style house. In that house, there is no free space available probably due to the size of the house and the amount of furniture in it. Even after selling some of the furniture in that house, though, there was STILL no free space available. That was why I wanted to move in the first place. Therefore, it might be a problem from the free space issue with the other house that's somehow affecting me building a house in an empty lot as well. In the new save that I started, I obviously didn't live ANYWHERE before I attempted to build the house on the empty lot, so I never had a free space issue before attempting to do so.
I hope this all makes sense. I'm not sure if any of that makes a difference or not, but I just wanted to state those variables just in case!

Community AdminTry putting a fire alarm in every room of your house. Once done with that, remove all of the alarms (unless you wish to keep them of course). If this doesn't work, go back to playing mode then switch back.
- I cannot put a fire alarm in every room since I cannot place my house due to the fire code violation.

Unfortunately that sounds more and more like a corrupted save file to me. Do you have the possibility to move your family out and start with them in another neighbourhood?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I thought the problem was fixed. Since you suggested that the file itself might be corrupt, I decided to start an entirely new file with a new family. Everything was going fine. I built the house that I wanted, set everything up, and by the time I was done, only about a sliver of the free space bar was filled up. Then, my Sim had a baby, so all I needed to add in the house was a child's bed. Now all of a sudden when I go to buy a bed, the free space bar is completely filled up. I'm starting to get quite frustrated.
I am having a similar issue. I created a family eith 6 members on the Wii U. It consisted of a mom, dad, child, and 3 teen girls. The child was taken away because I was new and couldn't find out how to feed her. A fire started in the kitchen and a teen used a fire extenguisher to put it out. A few sim days pass, and i get a message that i have violated the Fire Regulations and have a fire extinguisher on hand. I am suck of the family at this point and let the fire kill the husband. It goes out on its own. It happens again and kills the mom and 2 teens leaving 1 unharmed. The house is about to burn down, so the teen (who has aged to an adult, it happened in her birthday ) moves out into a new, pre built house. Looking back, the fire in the old house made since beacause i had filled it to the brim. A few days after the new Adult moves into the house, i get the notification AGAIN. I remove some unnecessary items and install fire extinguishers in each room. I get it AGAIN a few sim days later. What is going on?!?!-Kat
