Re: Sims not being able to put out fires
Click on the fire and select "Extinguish fire". If your Sim is panicking cancel that first.

@jpkarlsen I clicked on the option, and canceled out the Panic thing, but she acted like she couldn't get to it, when there wasn't anything near the Fire but the campfire
Did it say "Extinguish fire" where you clicked.
Yes, it did.
Do you have any Mods or CC? If so move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.I have no Mods/CC @jpkarlsen
@daddynadz @jpkarlsen I have had the same thing happen repeatedly with the OR campfire. For some reason, it will set invisible things near it on fire and that fire cannot be put out. It has to burn itself out. It's pretty strange to see as the flames appear to be in mid air. You can't click on it either. You can click on the campfire but that does nothing as all the usual options are gone until the fire goes out. And if an object, like one of the OR log benches, catches on fire during the event, it can't be extinguished either. You just have to let it burn.
@daddynadz Yeah unfortunately many others have been having problems with these Outdoor Retreat fire pits for a long time now. Here's a link to an open Bug Report on this topic if you'd like to read more:
Okay, thanks!
I just never had this problem before, and I use them ALOT
@daddynadz In my game the problem appears somehow to be tied to specific lot types. I am able to use them just fine on "Generic" lots and in the common areas in Granite Falls, but if I use them on "Residential" or "Rental" lots then I have problems with accidental fires. Are you generally able to use them on Residential lots with no problems?
I don't know about normal Residental, but on a Tiny Home Residental, it doesn't work (mirco home)
