Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 2.01
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except Cats and Dogs, Horse Ranch, Growing Together and For Rent. Game Packs: Vampires, Realm of Magic, Jungle Adventure, Werewolves Stuff Packs: Crystal Creations, Romantic Garden, Tiny Living, Cool Kitchen, Home Chef Hustle, Paranormal Stuff, Spooky Stuff Please note I DO NOT own Bust the Dust so this is not dust/filth related.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an upgraded fireplace with fireguard...at some point a nonsense fire will start.
What happens when the bug occurs? Fires start in nonsense ways, like on WATER PUDDLES or in midair with NO BURNING OBJECT.
What do you expect to see? I am unsure if fireguard makes fireplaces accident fireproof or lowers the chances of it, but either way I expect fires to not break out on items/places that shouldn't be burnable like the middle of the air or water puddles.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This has happened twice now in the past two days after patch 2.01.
All my fireplaces are upgraded with fireguard, which should lower or prevent (?) accident fires. The game description says "eliminate" which I assumed meant prevented altogether.
Either way, see attached screenshots. One fire started on water puddles my drown ghost left on the floor. The second fire started in midair. The floors are stone, and I do not own bust the dust so this is not a dust/filth issue.
Even if fireguard only lowers accidental fire chance (in which case the game text should be updated) it is nonsense for water puddles to be the object that is on fire.
I personally had not had this happen before the patch on Oct 22nd and now its happened twice. These fireplaces have set more fires in the past two days than any non-upgraded fireplace has in my households in the past month.
