Stove catching fire regardless of skill level

@ggibbons Merged your post with the general thread on this then.

My sim has a level 10 cooking skill and has an upgraded stove.  No matter what she is cooking, it almost always catches fire.  Yes, she does have a fear of fire trait... but what do I do so that we can eat something other than PBJ and take out?   It happens on the grill as well.   I had her husband cook burgers tonight to try to circumvent the issue and guess what... burned it all up and nearly caught the house on fire.  It's a TAD (no really.... a lot) annoying.

In sims 4, every time i cook food on my oven, it starts to burn. i get so mad. it doesnt matter what oven and how good my sim is.

Is anyone else having problems with your sims trying to cook on a stove? I've tried cooking with each of my sims and every. single. time. the oven catches on fire. I've spent almost 20,000 sim $ on new stoves My sim is the highest-level cook, and I have one of the more expensive ovens. I no longer have any mods or cheats. This just started since the new update with infant capabilities and options. All of the past threads I've read were far too old to apply to this problem- TYIA

(I've also had issues regarding infants such as bath time bubbles don't disappear from the bathtub when the task is completed or the baby constantly has a black cloud around it from when it was rummaging through cabinets, etc)

@AmeliaSCooper Did you test this without any mods/cc installed ? there are various reasons for constant fires, outdated mods (or even a funny feature of a mod) can cause this too so that's why you need to test without mods before reporting in the bug forum.

Hello. I am new to the Sims forum. I wanted to say that I have a similar bug to this that is really affecting my gameplay. Fires spontaneously start around my sim, and I don't know why. It doesn't matter if she is cooking a salad, getting the mail, or even if she is in the shower or sleeping. At seemingly random times, she stops everything she is doing and catches on fire. I have to keep replacing the furniture around her, and she can't get her mail, or the fire alarms in the house won't go off, and she will die. I don't know how to fix it and would love some help.

I should also mention that it only happens at home, it has the homey, good acoustics, and celebrity home lot traits without any of the lot challenges, I play on the computer, and my game is modded. I disabled all mods and cleared my cache and it keeps happening. My sim moved three times after it started happening, and it happened everywhere she called home, so it isn't the lot either. The fires don't randomly appear on the lot—only the sim lights on fire and anything in a very close radius of her.

@gilifo Did you test without any mods/cc installed ?

All reports in the bug forum must be on vanilla games.
