Fires occur very often when the clothes dryer is started.

Hello,

I have noticed that in my game fires are occurring quite frequently when using the clothes dryer. The sim turns on the dryer with the clothes inside and it catches fire.

I don't know if this is already intentional in the game or a bug that is causing fires to quite frequently when using the dryer.

    @wallaosg  In addition to @crinrict comment about cleaning the lint filter, both the washer and dryer will break down a lot.  If you want to stop that and the fires, try upgrading them.  That seems to stop both breakdowns and fires.

    Lint Tray is a common culprit - but also keep in mind that the AI Doesn't like to do it on it's own (I've run into situations where AI-Controlled Sims forget to clean the lint tray after drying and start a fire - which I believe was related to my earlier thread on "soft-crashing deleting characters" although the circumstances in that case included Player-controlled Travel in addition to the washer/dryer fire by AI Behavior.
