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? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.105.332.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Greenhouse Haven Kit, Blooming Rooms Kit, Simtimates Collection Kit, Little Campers Kit, Outdoor Retreat, Everyday Clutter Kit, Book Nook Kit, Bathroom Clutter Kit, Modern Luxe Kit, High School Years, Modern Menswear Kit, Seasons
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Purchase a fire pit and have your Sims use it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Fires from any of the fire pits seem to happen far too frequently. A fire starts nearly every time the pit is lit for an average amount of time or logs are added.
What do you expect to see? Fire pits to only very rarely start fires on the lot, potentially with higher chances if Sims "Play" with the pit. Not nearly every time the pit is lit.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

This isn't the previous issue from a few years ago where Sims couldn't route to extinguish the fire, there's just way too many fires starting from these things. It intrudes on gameplay and makes it nearly impossible to experience certain features of the pack, such as spending time around the fire pit or earning gold on a Weenie Roast event. The frequency of fires starting from fire pits just needs to be tuned down.

    It happened to me quite often and I think, if I recall, a cc creator had check into the code line of the game to see why it was happening and only the campfire chairs from Outdoor retreat were tagged fire resistant or something like that... I think I will test that out, but yeah... there was something about only a certain amount of items were tag with a fireproof or resistance code line...

    Campfires will stop causing so many fires on the lot. Campfire spreadfire was triggering a 50% chance every 10 sim-minutes to burn objects other than chairs in the area. We removed that to only focus on when Fireworks trigger (which we all know is the real danger).

    Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92
