Product: The Sims 4Platform:MacWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)What is your current game version number? 1.67.45.1220What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions some game some stuffSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim use the bathroom about a few times.What happens when the bug occurs? Toliet will catch fire, also possibly catch your sim on fire as wellWhat do you expect to see? No fireHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure My sim will use the bathroom and then the toilet will catch fire. I never had this in my game until recently. It is getting annoying because I am constantly putting out fires and having to cheat the bathroom. Is there a mod fix for this or a fix coming soon because my toilets are always burned and almost every time, my sim catches on fire from using the toilet, Please help?

I have had this issue a lot recently.Literally normal toilets will just spontaneously combust.It's really annoying at this stage.I have no CC or mods.I do have the eco pack but not the compost thing that is being mentioned.

None of my toilets are upgraded whatsoever. I've never had a toilet catch fire this often (like once a sim day) until the December patch. I have no idea what's going on.

newest update has my child burning every time she uses the toilet. Never had this bug before. changed toilets, still happening. adult sim uses it fine. I have used insta-upgrade on it, which doesn't change to the compost or recycling fuel cell. so it shouldnt have the chance of fire due to not cleaning compost. I never installed any mods or CC, but this is the first thing i could find after googling a bit. Maybe one day this small indie team can get this game working to its full potential. LMFAO its a joke, im a * I know.

@scorpiosunxIm sorry. I have nothing of value to add to this post either then the fact im dying right now of laughter. Toilets catching your sim on fire... who knew ....... : D

@zolee2020 OMG, I was having the same issue and it happened every time my roommate used it, but not my sim. I kept wondering what the hell she ate that kept making it catch on fire. Cause I was like, damn she has some fiery poops or whatever she was eating kept making her have diarrhea from hell or something. Apparently, I had upgraded the toilet to the compost version. This happened at least 5 times or until I googled it and came across this post. So, yeah even I was in the same boat a you. Laughing my butt off trying to figure out what was happening.

@scorpiosunx did you use the Composting Container upgrade on the toilet ?

If so, that's normal and not a bug. That has a chance to catch on fire.

I never had this problem when it was trendy, but since the Dec. update I am. Right now I'm using the Eco Living toilets in the apartment my sim lives in but they aren't upgraded. Both of her roommates have caught fire lol... the toilets are not upgraded, btw.
I'm going to swap out toilets to see if it still happens, but if it weren't for the stressed moodlet, I'd find it completely hilarious (until it happens to my sim and not her roomies, at least).

Did you ever resolve the issue? I’m having it randomly a year later… It’s happened twice in the past 10 mins with the Sweet Escapes Country Toilet, it’s fully upgraded too.

@AL40491 You need to delete the toilet and apply all upgrades EXCEPT the composting container, or buy an insect farm and regularly clean out the compost to feed to the insects.

I actually don’t have the eco pack so I don’t get that upgrade option.
