[ROM] Can't repair fridge after repairo failed

Fridge broke. Sim's magic Repario failed. FIRE!  Extinguished the fire. After the fire was out the fridge still had electrical sparks.  I don't remember if that is normal or not.  

After the fire, clicked on the item to replace. Photo above shows the only item option was Magic.  ???
Meh, I'll try it.  2nd time clicked the single option, Magic then Repario.  2nd FIRE!   
Extinguished fire, again.  

Had to open Buy/Build, sell the burned fridge and buy a new fridge.  I didn't notice how much it paid for the burned out fridge.  I didn't receive a notice about an Insurance payment.

    Note2Self: My Original title was Fridge Fire UI Problems

    Titled to reflect that the burned fridge only offered one selection - Magic. The normal options were missing - no Replace.

    1. Unable to "normally repair" the fridge because clicking on it only gave one option - Magic.  i.e. no option to Repair or Replace appears after the fire.  
    2. Normal UI broken which is why I submitted this bug report. 
    3. The spell is not the problem.  Spells fail sometimes and cause a fire.  The problem is that after extinguishing the fire, options were missing from UI.  Reproduced twice before I reported it 19 days ago - Missing UI.  

    You asked me to: "... start a new save game with the same Sims, cheat the deviance aspiration to get the option to sabotage, then sabotage fridge to break it" 

    Heh.  Is that all?  Just find spare time to research how to do things you asked, that I've never done before in game, to repeat the bug a third time?  No thanks.  I've given details and shown the problem in pics.  It happened. I'm letting EA and other players know about a potential problem. I'm moving on.                     

     

  • Hi TA1111​ 

    • Could you test if the same happens if you normally repair the fridge ? 
    • Do you have issues with the spell on other objects and is it reproducible if you try again ?

    (easiest way to test is start a new save game with the same Sims, cheat the deviance aspiration to get the option to sabotage, then sabotage fridge to break it)
