[FR] Objects randomly catch on fire after solved cursed book event

After getting the For Rent pack recently, things in my Sim's home start combusting randomly a bit after destroying the cursed book? I can't go 10 minutes without several fires? Some are like electrical but last night her entire unit burned down because the baby's changing table combusted twice within 5 minutes?? I tried a cheat code to stop fires but it didn't work and its like. unplayable. She can't even interact with her baby when theres a fire on the lot so it was just on the floor surrounded by flames. I had to close the game because it's so annoying. I know i can play my other saves but I spent so much time on starting this for rent legacy- it's a huge bummer because I got the pack for Christmas and I can't even play it. 

Is there any way to report bugs in a way where they'll get fixed?? or do I just have to yell into the void of a forum. the sims is like my favorite game and im so sad.

    Same issue here, I opened the game to a cursed book event, I destroyed it, my sim was cursed for 24 hours, fires started before the 24 hours were up (understandable if annoying) and they kept going.

    I had over 7 fires today in game (played for around 4 hours), these were the items that spontaneously combusted that I remember: Orbs ceiling light x 3, Stringvarius violin x 1, Subtle saucer light x 1, Photo (possibly was the thermostat)x2

    I have all expansions but Lovestruck, don't have bust the dust, play with only MC Comand Centre and UI cheats, on PC 

  • Every time I've played recently, everything is randomly catching on fire. My bed caught on fire at least 2 or 3 times before I finally just replaced the bed, thinking that was the problem. I love the sims, but at this point it isn't enjoyable anymore. My sims have no money to replace everything that's burned, and now everyone is scared of fire. I saw someone saying that happened after the cursed book rental event, I had that happen a few days ago but since then my sims have sold that rental house and live in and own different ones now. I never completed the event, so that could be problem.

  • Also having this issue since the cursed book event. I could never find it. Now I have fires every sim hour and it's unbearable. I've played this legacy save for 5 years.

  • On playstation 5 and this happening to me. I tried evicting them then moving into a different lot that didn’t work so I tried transferring all my sims into a different household and that didn’t work either. I’ve also disabled For Rent Events 😭 I’m also in the middle of getting 26 generations so i cannot just delete and re upload :(
