Who nerfed kitchen fires and when did this happen?

I miss those unpredictable elements as well. It made the game more interesting and enjoyable. Sure, it kinda stinks when your house gets hit by a random meteor, but it was also exciting! You could always go back to an earlier save if you didn't want to keep the disasters in your game. The new wishing well added a bit of a risky element to Sims4 though, so that's cool.
