Fire in Granite Falls.

It gives a lot of trouble, that every time my sims are on vacation in Granite Falls and try to roast a little "skumfidus" (Danish), the chairs and benches around the fire are catching fire, and they are in panic and can't do a thing. This happened at least twice a day, when I recently had a family on vacation. I am hoping for a patch to fix it, so that it happens more rarely.

    I've been having the same problem. Too many fires and no way to put them out. I don't know if this is intended or not, but it'd be nice if it could be tuned down a bit. I'd like my Sims to have a peaceful sit around the campfire without everything going up in flames.

  • If they are panicking, queue up "Extinguish Fire" on your Sims, then X out "React to Fire" on their queue. Once you remove the "React to Fire" they should then start to "Extinguish" it so you can carry on with their vacation.

    I tend to get a camp fire from the lot the Sims on that has no lodging and have them use a tend. Never fails on the first day there's a fire though (i don't out chairs around the camp fire either) the ones outside the lot don't seem to. Had an odd glitch where my dim couldn't put out the fire so I just let it burn out and they panicked still after routing to safety.

    Mine finally ignored the fire and just messed around on her phone. :/
  • Ah yes, I would get fires every time in my game... I agree with others about moving the chairs and using higher quality.

    Me, however, I like the extra drama in the game so I would leave them as is lol.
