@Nuke615 I've tested this in my game with a basic 4 story structure, and I am seeing smoke coming from the chimney. I'd like a few more details on your build, or better yet, if you can upload it to the Gallery for testing, I could take a direct look at it. Just call it "Test Chimney Smoke" or the like, if you are willing to have me test it. If not, then please describe or post screen shots of the layout of the build, especially as it pertains to where the fireplace is located on the first floor and what the floors above the fireplace look like (how rooms and stairs are placed) as well as which lot you're using for the build. Also, if you haven't already done so, please try the following steps: 1) remove any mods/CC, 2) clear your cache, 3) repair the game via Origin, 4) create a new save, and 5) test the problem in the new save.
Here's the lot...it has a basement too. The smoke will not show with the 1st floor fireplace lit, but will for higher floors. I have not tested the fireplace in the basement yet. I will test this again from this upload.
I just tested it again too...I am having smoke now with just the 1st floor lit...I tried it with and without mods. But If the smoke stack is moved, it will stop producing smoke. That might be what I was experiencing when building the lot, as I was moving things around.
