[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
