Like the title says when did kitchen fires get nerfed? Devs you've taken away meteor and falling satellites, we have to wall up pools to get a drowning. When I set my Sim to repair an electronic item they just develop the handiness skill. If my Sims get sick it's no longer serious. No guinea pig bites and no deaths by scary ghosts.Yesterday my Sim started to cook and then, as usual was distracted by something. This time a lump of clay. She walked away from the stove to fiddle with the clay and I thought uh-oh, better get her back here. Then my deviant nature kicked in and I thought....no...let's get some kitchen fire drama going. I watched and waited.....and waited....and waited. No smoking food, no fire...nothing. A suspicion touched my mind and I thought no....it can't be. I brought my Sim back to the stove to finish the meal....and I watched......yes......plum, plum, plum, plum!!!!!! She lit the burner and finished cooking!!!She, or something, had turned off the stove when she walked away!Aw come on devs! I keep trying to like this game and you keep making it harder for me to do that. ETA I did go back today and test. Yes my kitchen fires are gone. I tested with every Sim in the house and the burner was turned off each time.

These sims have gotten too smart lol first they learn to get out of the pool without a ladder and now they turn off the stove before walking away. All these fire prevention books in the sims 3 must have worked lol Now on a serious note, I do miss random deaths and challenges. It's like the have baby proofed the game....kitchen fires do occur but they are random and there is nothing you can do to start them. Also the chances of it happening are very slim...

I agree. They've made the game too safe for the Sims. It wasn't like a meteor or satellite killed them every few seconds. It really makes it pointless to have alarms at all. I miss the occasional burglar, too. Instead we get neighborhoods flooded with ghosts and clowns. I'm not liking that trade off.

If we had a cowardly trait....that actually worked.....and had scary ghosts we might see some fainting and scared to death.

There is a mod for more frequent fires and another mod for deadlier fires (they spread faster and they also kill faster). I believe they are available at Mod The Sims.

Who nerfed kitchen fires and when did this happen?

I'd rather see it where the game actually had consequences instead of living in happy, happy la la land and mods had to be used to prevent fires.

It seems that TS4 is the PC version of this. I guess this is the age group it's geared towards now.

IDK, I found the transform objects option on the freeze ray gun particularly flammable.

But I'm talking about just a plain old fashioned kitchen fire. It's unbelievable what's happening to this game.

I see why we don't have firemen. They won't have anything to put out.
