I upgraded the fireplace so that whenever a sim walks into the room, it lights. The Sims just think the fire is out whenever they walk out of the room so they frequently go into the room to light it again. This interferes with their other objectives which are time sensitive.

- @GridironGuy88 Does this happen with every Sim in every household or just with certain Sims/all fireplaces ?
Do I understand this correctly that they walk up to the fireplace to lit it although it's already lit ?- @crinrict I currently am only in one house right now but I have two fireplaces. Every sim spanning across generations have wanted to light that fireplace because they think it’s extinguished. I haven’t upgraded my second fireplace just for this reason.
Yes every time they walk into the room it’s lit but they always feel the need to light it again- @GridironGuy88 Would it be possible to add a video of what you're seeing ?
I see this also on PS5. Sims do it with any fireplace that's out. They really do it a LOT with the fire pits. I stopped upgrading my fireplaces because the sims just keep trying to light them each time they are out.
If the fireplace is not upgraded they light it once and then it just stays on.
No option for upgrading firepits, however. They are like Moths to flame!
- @PoptartJuniper That’s what I ended up doing too is stop upgrading the fireplace and just replace it with a new one that just stays lit all the time
