    @Megami195 It’s not a bug. It’s the downside of installing the compost container upgrade on a toilet. If you have a bug farm, you can feed the compost from the toilet to the bugs. But if you don’t, heat buildup from composting turns into fire. I believe it says this in the hover tip for the upgrade.

    Your options are to not upgrade your toilets with that upgrade/replace the toilet for one without or to get a bug farm to empty it often.

Ok, good to know. whenever I looked up answers for toilet catching fire the only thing that came up was seeing the little flame in the toilet, nothing about how to fix the spontaneous combustion

    Also, something to remember:  If you've earned Handy by completing the Nerd Brain aspiration, "Instant Upgrade" will do that upgrade, so you might not want to Instant Upgrade toilets.  And I don't remember if you said you use mods, but if you do:  Upgradios, a custom spell made by LittleMsSam, has been made to purposely leave that upgrade out.  It's supposed to be either composting container or water recycler, her spell chooses water recycler.  If you wanted composting container, you can upgrade that first like some common Muggle, then Upgradios the rest afterwards.

      Thank you so much, this has been bugging the hell out of me.  My main sim has been autonomously upgrading things, including toilets, so I didn't even realize it was done, that's really annoying, but at least I understand why it's happening now
