things constantly going on fire more than they're supposed to. [ Edited ]

More often I expect and I'm cool with that. Every time they try to cook when hungry, is ridiculous. 

Hungry, cook up a healthy meal for 8, FIRE. Extinguish self, get rid of fire, repurchase stove & counter tops. Try to cook healthy meal again. FIRE. Extinguish self, get rid of fire, repurchase stove & counter tops. Try to cook healthy meal again. FIRE.

I forgot about this issue, and 3 days later while on a honeymoon with new wife, same Sim tries to cook a healthy meal. FIRE.

Time to level up another Sim's cooking skill and get them the healthy eating trait.

Edit:

I have no mods. I'm playing on Mac OS. I'm on version 1.97.42.1230. I have no new version available.

Same issue. my sims all have a fear of fire now and im afraid they are going to die because of it. Its insanely infuriating. cooking or doing laundry starts them. I hate it

I have exactly this issue but with a child. He cathes fire all the time. It started with a campfire, last time it happened it was the toilet that caught fire and him as well. They dont have fear of fire. House is in a quakezone.

Same here, every 3-4 day the stove catch fire and i have top replace it $ 1500,00 plus, it's not funny any more.

All sims are cooking level 5 or higher, stove is troweback stove.

So how I fixed this is I used the cheat codes to get more satisfaction points and then bought the Brave trait from the rewards store and this fixed it completely! Hope this helps

Finally got a friend to try Sims 4, they're super excited to play. Brand new install, brand new game, no mods, only base game in starter lot in Willow Creek, and literally every time they try to cook something the stove catches on fire. No fear of fire trait at first. Friend is very frustrated that they can't make money in the game because they have to replace the stove multiple times a day. At this point, the sim got to level 7 cooking, and it's still happening for every meal.

Hola.

Muchas gracias,  lo pondre en práctica, a ver si a mí también me funciona. Cierto que llevo mucho tiempo con incendios constantes y es un rollo porque los Sims se bloquean muchas de las veces.

I’m losing it. EVERY time a sim cooks now in my save file, there’s a fire. It’s been like 7 times in a row now.

Sims with a Fear of Fire will no longer be tormented by constant, unavoidable fires starting while they are cooking.

Fixed in Patch 1.103.250/1.84
