I can't light the fireplace

When I click on a fireplace to light it, the action disappears after a couple seconds and the sims just stands there with no further movement. 

It first happend when I went on vacation with my family to granite falls. I tried it at home again an it won't work either.

    Did you test multiple lots with fireplaces to see if they all have the issue ? Also with multiple Sims ?

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
