Just had a fire, and although I had an 'Extinguish fire with freeze ray' option, the Sim would not do so. There was no other extinguish option. Got him out of the house and clicking on a Stan or a Paparazzi gave a 'Fire!' option, which you would think would be warning them of the fire or asking for help, but no, it just meant my sim stood their panicking. 

When far enough outside the house there was a 'Find escape route' option when clicking on my Sim, which also did nothing. Moving my sim back into the house to again try to extinguish the fire just ended up with my sim on fire, able to try to extinguish himself, but by this point too in need of food and a toilet and failing.... because everyone knows that even when you are well away from the fire you cannot even pee.... Seriously?

Completely broken.

    2) The sprinkler system seems somewhat unclear, and regardless...

    3) Supposedly there are 'Extinguish' and 'Extinguish with Freeze Ray' options. The existence of sprinklers, even if they work perfectly, merely means there is a workaround option other than the far more obvious 'Put out the fire yourself' options that I just mentioned. If the more personal methods are no longer intended to work, they should take them out completely rather than have them as selectable options.
