Random Fires - Inconclusive Cause

Continuous fire caused by cooking, would progress to another counter and then after my sim would put it out another counter would randomly combust, even areas that were already out. Firefighters wouldn't do anything and all sims needs decayed. Had to immediately leave the save after trying to stop it after about 5 sim hours to try and save my save file. Never experienced this before after an insane amount of hours playing this game so I'm super confused.

Could you please provide the following information

-  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
-  Do any of these apply to you: Constant fires | EA Forums - 12377588 ? 

Hello, I have played this sims 4 for a very long time but just only joined the forums However after adventure awaits has came out I have had random objects catching on fire so it stared with the toilet then the computer now the highchair. I just wondering if this is happening in anyone's game or not?

I do have mods only MC and UI they are both updated.

If anyone knows what it could be that would be great. 

thanks

The fires keep breaking out; it's impossible to play like this. Every in-game hour there's a fire, and my Sims spend their days stressed and surrounded by flames. I've been dealing with this same bug for over two months. I'm getting less and less inclined to play. Things that shouldn't are catching fire (carpets, countertops, cribs, lamps). It makes absolutely no sense. This forces my Sims to constantly spend money fixing things, and I have to use cheats (even though I don't want to). I beg you to fix this already. I play without mods or custom content, and I'm constantly repairing the game. This has to stop now. 😠

Hi paulacb2000​ 

I merged your post with the main thread.

Could you check if any of the causes here could be your issue: 🗂️[INDEX] Constant fires | EA Forums - 12377588 

I saw a recent uptick in this, only to find I had an outbreak of fear of fires. I used to have trouble getting rid of the fear because I rarely got fires. Now there are constant fires, and if I have several adult or teen sims in the household, the fear spreads, sometimes even to people who were the ones who were "confident" for putting out the fire.

The last time this happened was in a household of 5 adults (one of the households I'm shoving my non-married sims into on my rotation save to try to decrease household bloot). Thankfully, two were casters with the reach, so I finally got rid of most of the fears by sending one of the sims with the fear out to the edge of the neighborhood map and then having one of the casters cause a fire on the ground close to said sim so the sim with the fear could put it out. For some reason, this would not work with one of the casters, though (maybe because she set the fire herself and then put it out), and after 3 tries, I just had her take a fear-removing potion.

My family live in a rental unit and there is a fire everyday at least once a day. It used to be the dryer (despite cleaning lint tray) so I deleted it. Then it was the oven, so I had to delete it. Now countertops will catch fire.
I even had a fire start on my infants highchair and my beloved infant got taken away instantly! 
How do I stop this? It’s not fun, I lost my infant and my house is ruined. 
Please help
