[BY DESIGN] Fire DP doesn't show up, grim reaper does nothing
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Get To Work, Get Together, Vampires, Dine Out, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Fitness Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Holiday Celebration Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a fire in an apartment building with fire alarm
What happens when the bug occurs? After the fire starts and the alarm goes off, the fire department does not show up, you die, and the grim reaper just stands there for hours doing nothing while your apartment burns down.
What do you expect to see? The fire dept to show up and my sim not dying, or if he/she dies, that the grim reaper doesn't just stand there and the game finishes so that I can at least keep the apartment the way I decorated it.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
Well, my sim tried to cook and set the stove on fire. I had the alarm installed right above the stove but the fire department never came, so my sim died, and the grim reaper showed up but didn't do anything. Tried speeding up the clock, but nothing short of leaving the game without saving worked. Kind of a bummer, cause I really liked how I decorated the apartment.
Hi @mrs_dork
This is by design. There's no Fire department in Sims 4. You need to extinguish the fire yourself.
There's also sprinklers you can install.
The Grim Reaper standing around usually points towards a problem where he can't get to the dying Sims. Resetting the Grim Reaper and the dying Sims usually helps with that.
You can try loading a backup by clicking the restore button on your save.
