Re: [ARCHIVED] Fire alarm but no fire (invisible fire/Fire inaccessible)
Hi,
I had the same issue with nonexistent fire and found out where it is.
In my case, and, I guess, others had the same thing - I created a basement floor, then built a house, deleted stairs to that basement floor, then forgot to delete that level, and after some time the fire occurred there.
This explains why the fire is not visible and why firefighters can't get to it and why people hear fire but don't see it.
So it all happened because I had an inaccessible basement
Solution - reload game from a previous save, then delete the basement floor or build stairs to be able to access it. That's the only workaround I found for the moment of writing this post.
Follow-up edit 1: the fire dissappears after some time and Sims get insurance compensation for destroyed furniture.
Follow-up edit 2: I have a swimming pool in my house and because of it, basement floor seems to appear because the swimming pool goes underground
