I need to kill Gunther Goth with fire cause according to mortimers memories in ts2 thats his cause of death and also i want his urn in goths house and i want it correctly as death by fire
...the problem is i never succeed at starting deadly fires in ts4 đŸ˜… it feels so impossible
I love your commitment to Sims 2 lore. :joy: I think the fireplace is usually what catches my Sims on fire the most. Maybe put something flammable right beside it like a chair or table too.
Let him do all the cooking. Get a bonfire for the backyard and a cheap grill. Not a park grill though, those never seem to catch fire. Have him light fireplaces all the time. Mess around with the cheap DJ booth long enough it will catch fire. Fire seems to be one the biggest killer of my Sims. it should not be to hard to do if you try for a while.
Lock him in a room completely surrounded by flammable objects/furniture such that he can't move even one square, and then Inferniate with a spellcaster all of the things surrounding him. Don't inferniate him directly, as Sims can't be killed when set on fire that way...let the fire spreading do the job.
For good measure, to make sure the fire department and other sims can't run to put him out...double wall the room, with no doors.
I've never tried this...but I think it should do the job.
@Stormkeep LOL, that is just so extreme, You had me cracking up. I have never had to try that hard to even accidently kill my Sim with a fire. That is so funny.

If you want to try the fireplace method, I suggest putting a wabbit tablet right in front of the fire. Based on my own experience with fireplace-induced fires, the wabbit tablet is the most flammable object in the entire game. It catches on fire if a toddler even walks too close to the fireplace for me.
Putting more flammable objects around, and under (a rug) will help the fire to spread and get larger.
@spend4zen, :lol: I figured I'd try to suggest something I was sure had no chance of failing to be fatal. Now that I've typed it, I really want to test it...

Haha good idea. I remember your flammable tablet thread.
@Simmingal You could also try lighting a bunch of those incense holders. Many of my Sims have caught fire trying to light those things and nearly burned the house down.

I don't know why this cracks me up. Maybe because I'm imagining them telling the story about his death later. "You see, he happened to lock himself into this room which was within other room with no doors and he had an obvious hoarding problem so he surrounded himself with so much furniture he couldn't even move and then this random Spellcaster set them on fire. Such a tragedy."

I do sometimes question if it was either the dragons or cornelia given her possible magical abilities and her not dying in the same fire yet not helping either so her casting inferniate... would probably not be too far off script :lol:
as for the stuff though... yes maybe he had strange private collection room... maybe cornelia simply was not fan of it... or maybe the dragons claimed it and he was caught by surprise :lol: remembering ts1 fires usually started with dragons for me and it wouldn't be too strange they'd have some magical pets as plus to their more ordinary pets
what i find more curious though is how cornelia later dies of fire too? is it coincidence? revenge from the grave? ill effects of dark magic? who knows :sunglasses:
in ts4 i just find the fire so slow it often gets burnt out by itself or put out by sim I'm trying to fry or then the sim dies of other causes before the fire so much as touches their foot or someone i don't wanna fry gets fried instead via glitch or passes out while im waiting and they are unable to do anything because theres fire on lot its so frustrating
and with cooking somehow i just never have fire no matter how bad i try i just end up making so many meals that they learn to cook and then its obviously no go
but i will try the walled in room i think yes i just have to figure out what is very flammable to put in it
@Simmingal, I just tried in the walled in room myself because I was dying to see if it worked.
I surrounded her with flammable furniture, and even used MOO to stack things on top of each other. I used a lot of the hay-bale seats and had her sit down on one before lighting it on fire. I kept cancelling out the extinguish action when she tried to put the fires out.
She survived the entire room and everything in it being incinerated.... .....
I always knew TS4 really toned down the difficulty and made it outright 'hard' for sims to die by accident, it's now apparent to me they also made it freaking hard to do on purpose. :lol:
Perhaps if the fire was started by something other than inferniate it would have worked better. I know inferniate on a sim won't kill them, they may also have found a way to prevent it if inferniate is the source of the fire in any way. In which case the best way that I know to start a fire is to use the large campfire, and snap seating to it, light it, and then just keep a sim adding logs to the fire. That starts the seating on fire every time, guaranteed.
Lighting incense over and over, as @Elliandre suggested, will also eventually start the sim on fire, so that's another option to try.
@Stormkeep omg hay-bale seats is a stroke of genius :joy: Don't they try to put themselves out though with little handheld extinguishers or is that only on aging off?
