Re: [OPEN] NPCs won't extinguish 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? Origin
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Get to Work, Get Together, Dine Out, Kids Room Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to NPC lot with a child, have fire start.
What happens when the bug occurs? No-one puts out the fire and you cannot leave use phone or anything because of fire.
What do you expect to see? An NPC put the fire out.
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? No

Can't believe this is STILL not remedied.

NPC sims wont put out fires, meaning you can get stuck on their lot unable to leave until the fire burns itself out. At least as a kid you cant. Happened in an apartment so not sure that even an adult who did not live there could resolve it, but this should be handled by NPC.

wtf happened to firefighters in Sims 4??

My kid was there stuck there overnight and well into the next afternoon on a school day.

    My kid was visiting a friend's house when a fire started. Everyone ran outside. I couldn't get my kid to go home. Since she's a kid she couldn't try to put out the fire. This was on a Sunday. I didn't want to close out because I hadn't save recently, but after 3 days of the fire continuing to burn I had to shutdown. Something needs to be done about this. Either firefighters or have the npc characters do something. The family my kid was visiting went to work and school while my kid was stuck and dying because she couldn't get food, sleep, or a shower.
