Objects randomly turn burnt

I am playing on a Macbook Air, and ever since I updated my game for the February 3, 2026 update, random objects suddenly turn black and break as if they have caught on fire. I do see a super brief glimpse of a fire right before the objects break but it's not like a full on fire event. It happens so quick I sometimes don't even catch it until I look at the object and notice it's all black and my only option is to "replace" it. Also, it only happens on Live Mode. 

I have tried repairing my game and all my add-ons via the EA app on my computer but nothing has changed.

  • Could you please provide the following information

    • Does it happen on all saves/households ?

    I am not using any mods/cc in my game. Also, it is only happening on the save I made after I updated my game. Older saves don't seem to have this issue.

    Are you playing on a residential rental ? Ever had a cursed book event ?
