    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No idea. Fires just start randomly. No lot traits or challenges to make a fire start or lights to flicker.
    What happens when the bug occurs? My house catches on fire randomly, no reason a fire should start. No fireplace, candles or lot traits or challenges. Flicking lights all the time.
    What do you expect to see? No fires just starting. and no flicking lights constantly happening.
    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. High school years

    Since I started the HSY pack, my household is constantly plaqued by random fires and flickering lights. It keeps my family in constant fear state. The worse happened a few hours ago. My house  hallway randomly caught on fire, once again. 2 of my 3 sims died even though they routed to safety but burnt to death. Also 4 firefighters died and 2 random sims trying to put out fire died also. In 2 sim days there were 3 fires. I suspect it has to do with the wants and fear system to help them overcome fears. how can they if it keeps happening every other day.

    I downloaded a mod to stop the fires found on the modder Zero's Patreon.. always free content ... a mod to stop all fires on lots. Haven't had one in months. As far as the flickering lights no solution yet. Until this is fixed I pray the mod stays updated. I didn't even have to start a new save.
