Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

@crinrict Okay, so I just tried doing all of this. The fires are still constantly happening.

    @Seventopia Would you mind sending me one of your saves ? Instructions in my signature

    @Seventopia I tested your save and I think there's a pattern. They start fires when they get tense and since your main Sim has constant tense moodlets from some lifestyle, she starts fires a lot.

    I tested another household and that was fine.

    Could you check if you see a correlation between the tense mood and starting fires ?

        @Seventopia yes, I tested your save. See my comment in the post above yours about the tense moodlet.
