What do you expect to see? Approximately 1 out of 5 times a sim trys to cook a meal on the stove it catches on fire in the world that came in the Horse Ranch expansion pack. It does not matter the sim's cooking level, it has caught on fire at all different sims cooking levels.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Don't have at this time.
I have tried the Schmapple oven, London's Choice, and Hinoki Accent Stove. I even tried getting rid of any fear of fire in the played family on the lot and turning off fears. 1 character has level 10 cooking and it still keeps catching on fire. It is next to impossible to cook anything that uses the stove or oven at this point.
