Please use this thread going forward: Upgraded fire-proof objects catching fire a lot | EA Forums - 5037638
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? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Season, Get to Work, Get Together, Dine Out, Parenthood, Laundry Day Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Cats and Dogs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Upgraded Fireplace
What happens when the bug occurs? I have full upgraded Fireplace in bedroom with autolight but also fireproof. When sims enter the room - light in the room catches on fire. Which will be put out with sprinklers. But then when sims return into room it will catch fire again. This also triggers random sims who may be in the area to say "I should really get going now."
What do you expect to see? Fireplace turns on with Autolight and Sims can freely be in room with no fires since the fireplace should also be fire-proofed through upgrades. Sims who are not on my lot should not give me the "I should really get going now." constantly.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.52.100.1020 when updated game has caused this issues.
I recorded the entire situation. Excuse my Sims I removed the Mods folder and so they have nothing on 🙂
This happens on PS4. I have an upgraded fireplace and it caught on fire. Burned the rug and everything on the coffee table. I had it a squared away from the fireplace, but the fireplace is upgraded so it should have never happened.
Edit: I had this happen in my game recently with no explanation. The fireplace isn't even on and the fire was nowhere near the fireplace. This fire couldn't be put out either.
I think its the auto light causing this, since i have stopped upgrading my fires I have never had a fire, caused by the fire. I just light mine and leave them on, all the time.
