Re: [FIXED] Constant kitchen fires with fear of fires trait

@Carlieseuss You may be experiencing the old bug ... or you might be dealing with the new one that started up with the school xpac. The fears bug. Look in your sims traits and see if they have acquired a fear of fire or something like that. If your sim has it, they will burn down the house everytime they touch anything cooking related. Unfortunately, toggling off the wants and fears option will not fix it. As soon as you travel or start a loaded game, despite being toggled off, your sim will still get the bug.

    Yeah they definitely have the fear of fire. Which also ruins the kids campsite kit because they can’t light fires. 

    I guess I’ll have to live with it till they fix it. It’s only been happening semi recently.

    Unfortunately due to an issue with the graphics card on my laptop, I can no longer play sims. 
    I believe it started after one of the last few patches. Maybe been happening for a few months. At first I thought it was just rental locations, but it happens at home as well. 

    no mods, latest versions. All packs except most kits, and Star Wars/vampires
