I didn't even know that was possible

Harvestfest made a dark turn for one of my families. While the father and son were already eating their feast, the father's girlfriend was supposed to repair the computer that just broke. I was looking after the two eating to take some screenshots when I got the notification that a fire has started.

When I looked at the computer, I saw this:

I didn't even know that was possible. I tried to put it out, but it didn't work. The sims appearantly can't reach the fire because it isn't on the floor but only on the table lol.

Now they are standing outside panicking because of the fire and I have no clue how to put it out :D

Uhm...help? How do I stop the fire?

Edit: There was actually no way to put out the fire. I had to wait until it extinguished itself.

    Whoa! Blue Screen of Death taken literally (it tries to kill sims)!
    In The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, when a sim got electrocuted there's a chance that the object the sim was repairing could catch on fire. Did the repairing sim have any moodlet related to electrocution (Dangerously Fried)?


    She actually had a dazed moodlet, but only after the computer caught fire. I don't know what it said though, at this moment I had more important things to do than reading it :D But I guess it was the one you're talking about.

    @Nindigo does the trait actually make a difference? She was the only available sim to repair the computer at this moment because the only other adult in the household was eating his feast :D

    Lesson: Never have a clumsy woman try to repair a computer ;)


    I forgot that Zoe Patel had a clumsy trait. :D


    You know, I never paid much attention to her whole household, now I finally did and that's what I'm getting back :D

    I'd imagine it does, but I don't actually know :)

    But I removed them from the traditions right a few days before the first harvestfest in my save started (this one was the second one) :D

    Did you have incense burning next to the PC? That's terrible for starting fires.

    Nope, I didn't. The only stuff that was on the table were two school projects. Well, I guess the kids have to make them again :D
