Re: [Mod related] Unexplained fires

Majority of the time when my sims are cooking it will end in them starting a fire, I'm using the Auld crow Wood-burning cookstove which isn't a cheap oven and even when changing the oven the problem still occurs. The plot is not cursed, none of the sims have traits that could contribute to the number of fires and when cooking the sims aren't tense. I was wasting so much money on replacing the oven that I gave all my sims level 10 cooking but still, they would frequently start fires. The game packs I have installed are Get famous, High school years and Island living and I don't have any mods installed.

    I have this bug (?) too. It's almost impossible to cook anything other than a salad because 99% of the time the stove is bursting into flames. Cooking lvl 10, no cursed plots etc as well. I also have all of the game packs you mentioned, I can't pinpoint on whether it started before or after I got high school years. Hopefully this is patched in the next update, because it's getting increasingly more annoying to deal with. Glad I found someone with the same problem and my game isn't just dumb haha. 

  • I am having an issue in my Sims 4 game. Multiple fires a day on the stove while sim is cooking. Also fireplace already lit starts a fire.

  • No Sims with fear of fire. Cooking Level at 10. Base game stove. Happens everytime they cook. I do not have the High School expansion pack, but I did notice a recent update a few days ago and this has been happening since then.

  • Mine seems to have stopped after deleting all saved games and turning off mods. I think it may have been a mod I was using. Thank you for your help.

  • I am having this problem. It doesn’t seem like there is a posted solution here so I’m hoping for an answer.

    We have many exp packs but no mods or cc on the game. Playing in moonwood mill. Two adults both light the stove on fire every single time they cook.  The teen does as well. Can’t cook ever without a blaze and sim catching fire.

    Lot traits are bracing breezes, convivial, creepy crawlies. We’ve tried every drive and same thing each time. Tried putting the fire prevention system in as well as a hood. No change. Cook=blaze 100% of the time. Is there any fix for this save?
