My current save has had so many fires since the last update. I don't know if its coincidence or what. Especially with the campfire. Pretty much catches chairs or whatever my sim is cooking on fire every time, and her cooking skill is quite high. Her guitar even caught fire when she was singing around the camp fire. Is it just me or is this happening more frequently since they added firefighters? Also, I thought there used to be a trait you could get with aspiration points where your sim was like fireproof, or their house was fireproof, am I imagining that? Or was it in the Sims 3 or something? Anyway I am playing an off the grid style home right now and it sure is annoying to have so many fires. Just thought I would see if others were experiencing the same issue. Thanks guys!

Fireproof was a Sims 3 thing, the reward trait for maxing tthe Firefighter Career, IIRC.

LOL, I had one sim cooking once, and he caused a fire. So, yes, maybe they wanted to have more fires because we got the firefighters? :o If so, my sims will eat more salads...

I had three kids catch on fire in a row from I think fireflies? Lol :D

There is a reward trait that protects you from fire. It's called Naturalist and you get it after you complete the Freelance Botanist aspiration. :)

Add the Cursed lot trait and you'll see a lot more fires. :smile:

Has the frequency of fires gone up since the update?

Oh, I forgot about the firefighters. I have playing since the patch came out and I had no fires in my game today. Kind of disappointing in a way. lol

I think definitely, my sim caught on fire cooking hamburgers and put herself out. Then when I had her resume she caught on fire again right away. I have never had that happen before. I was laughing so hard. She’s living off the grid and she had to take like 6 tepid quick showers to wash all the singe off.
