July 2022 and it’s still happening. I tried different lots and different saves. If you buy fireworks from the computer and try to light them, nothing.

A year later and the problem is still there. Also x option to watch fireworks is missing

Unfortunately it is still not possible to light the fireworks. They are still bugged.

This issue seems to only be present in older saves as if a new save is started, they go off without a hitch (and without simvasions fix) Is there a reason why this happens in only older saves?

I didn’t know about this issue until last month when I tried lighting fireworks in my current save to complete a holiday tradition. This save is only a few months old and I have visited the Finchwick fair once, which I think may have caused the issue (same scenario with the rocket building).
However, my main save is over 5 years old and fireworks can still be lit (seen NPCs lit them at the city festival while my active Sims lived in an apartment nearby). Never have visited Finchwick fair in this save.

For me this glitch is still happening (playing in older save as well) now even the npcs at the humor and hijinks festival glitch when trying to light a firework
