Fireplace Channel??

Okay. How is the fireplace channel unlocked? Cause everything I've found says you have to upgrade the tv, but... here's the rub...

I'm playing drifter with a fellow simmer. We're on House 009. We both have the fireplace channel unlocked on our
tvs, but we for sure neither have upgraded the tv. For sure, haven't.

So, I thought, we'll, my sim has caught fire twice from that dumb dryer lint... maybe that was it. But her sims have never caught fire either.

And, she has a different tv then I have.

And, I have another save, not drifter, that is using the same tv and it doesn't have the fireplace channel.

So we are just really confused where the fireplace channel has come from. Any clues? We are on house 009, so the 9th generation. We have had previous heirs max handiness (her - house 001, me - house 005, I think it was) but that was a different house, different tv and far as I know she hasn't upgraded ANY tv's to show fireplace and I know I haven't.
  • @Evie0602 That would make sense. We are in winter. Thanks! It was driving us nuts trying to figure out why we had the channel.
  • I like to place a TV in easy view of treadmills at gyms and spas. Allows for multitasking in improving cooking or comedy skill while burning the calories. At one lot, nobody really wanted to use the treadmills much, but they would stand transfixed watching the Fireplace Channel. I am fairly certain it is the aliens putting subliminal messages into sims' brains.
    It was one of the large expensive TVs, and during the winter.
  • I noticed it was unlocked when I turned it on during Winterfest for one of my Sims before he could afford a real fireplace. What's really nice about it is that Sims who watch the channel get a 'warm' moodlet. Could come in handy if your Sims get caught turning blue inside from not having a thermostat in cold weather and haven't changed into cold weather wear yet. I don't know if it would be faster warming them up that way, but it's a nice little detail. :)
