Re: [FIXED] [OR] Campfire causes too many fires

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all except 3 kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? light the horse ranch campire/firepit
What happens when the bug occurs? it immediately starts a fire - every single time it's lit
What do you expect to see? not nearly that many fires - it's essentially made the item unplayable
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. horse ranch patch I assume since the firepit came with horse ranch...

‌

I can't have my simes use the firepit because it is constantly causing fires

    Yeah, I’m playing on a prebuilt lot with a campfire and they’re incessantly setting themselves on fire and scaring the horse. Even if they’re not hungry they insist on roasting marshmallows 24/7. Sadly, they’re spellcasters and keep reparioing the burned chairs and roasting more. 

    I remember an event where a family of musicians went to Granite Falls and insisted on standing IN the fire to play and burned up all their instruments. Any time the camera wasn’t focused on them they were lighting the campfire and standing too close with a guitar or violin. Luckily one of them (grandma) had finished the botanist aspiration, so she was a total bad*** extinguishing everyone so no one died.


    Even my Sims with the Naturalist reward trait (from freelance botanist) incessantly burn their arms roasting marshmallows 24/7.

     It’s just excessive. My mantra has been “I’m taking that 🤬 campfire away from you…”
