You can also find a list of known causes here: [CURRENT ISSUE] Constant fires | EA Forums - 12377588
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, and stuff packs are installed.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Every time the stove is used it catches on fire. There is no probability of fire. It happens every time with every sim, regardless of skill level.
What happens when the bug occurs? At first, I thought it was just the new stove that came with the Growing Together pack, but it kept happening again with a different stove. I am currently residing in Parkside Place. Not sure if it is lot related or not. I haven't tried it in other lots yet.
What do you expect to see? I try to cook, and every time I use the stove, regardless of Cooking skill level, it catches fire at the very end. Every single time with every sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It appeared after I downloaded Growing Together.
I think you get it.
No, but I did discover that it seems to only be happening with "homestyle cooking" not "gourmet cooking" or "baking."
It is happening with all my sims. And, all stove types.
My sim has a level 10 cooking skill and has an upgraded stove. No matter what she is cooking, it almost always catches fire. Yes, she does have a fear of fire trait... but what do I do so that we can eat something other than PBJ and take out? It happens on the grill as well. I had her husband cook burgers tonight to try to circumvent the issue and guess what... burned it all up and nearly caught the house on fire. It's a TAD (no really.... a lot) annoying.
