Re: [NEEDS SAVES] Excessive fireplace lighting

@crinrict I currently am only in one house right now but I have two fireplaces. Every sim spanning across generations have wanted to light that fireplace because they think it’s extinguished. I haven’t upgraded my second fireplace just for this reason.

Yes every time they walk into the room it’s lit but they always feel the need to light it again

    @GridironGuy88 Did you try uploading it ? You might need to add it unlisted to youtube or upload to google or one drive and put the link.

    As long as one can see something on it, it's fine.
  • I’ve tried uploading the video several times through different mediums it’s just not letting me do it for some reason. 

    The main problem is that the fireplace lights whenever a sim walks into the room and goes out whenever they walk out

    @GridironGuy88 That's what auto-light does though. They shouldn't try to lit it on their own though cause it's already on.
  • @crinrict Yea that’s the problem I was having, they shouldn’t try to light it but they do anyway for some reason.

    I ended up not upgrading it anymore and just to replace it with another one that stays lit all the time

    @PoptartJuniper Yea that’s what would happen with my sims. Seems like every 10 minutes they would obsess over lighting the fireplace even though it’s already lit. But at least they’re getting their exercise in lol
  • @crinrict Yea I’m hopefully getting that taken care of soon

    @crinrict  I did update to the latest version and that seemed to correct the problems I’ve been having. Thanks for all your help!

    My tent-living Sim had a “house party” in Oasis Springs in the summer. Everyone started to overheat in their party outfit. We rushed around asking to see everyone’s warm weather outfit. 

    She interrupted this action to light the fire pit.

    🙄

    I paused and used MCCC to change everyone’s clothes and queue up extinguish fire pit for her.

    I assume the game thought I was on a murder/suicide spree, but really we were trying to complete the last stage of her mixology aspiration.  😉 (Mostly kidding, although that would be a reason for the game to ignore queued actions and go make things worse, lol.)  Seriously, though, why light the fire pit if you and everyone around you are overheating?
