Fireplaces and preventing fires

Question

Eco brought grades of fire resistance on flooring. I understand that stone or metal is better flooring than wood. But how many floor tiles must we cover? Is tiles under the fireplace enough? I think 2 tiles from the wall looks a bit naahh, but if 1 tile is not enough I might need to get used to having naahh livingrooms.

I would say you need to cover the footprint of the fireplace and 1 tile around it.

just what the fireplace touches has been good enough for me

I just upgrade the fireplaces basically immediately if I don't want an issue I think it's called fireguard? I think there was an issue with fires for awhile with this but it's been sorted out.

Thanks all! I didn't even realize I can upgrade the fireplace, hopefully it won't take long :)

Btw, had not a single fire from fireplace yet, although some are on wooden floor and very close to furniture and rugs.

Wait fireplaces can catch on fire now? My sims leave that thing burning 24/7 :joy:
