I'm getting frequent fires (not every time, maybe every other time) without tense moods, clumsy traits, or cursed lot traits since the trait overhaul/bunk bed update. I've started only making cold meals (salads) or using the Island Living bbq pit as a work around. It's obnoxious, but far from some of the more game breaking bugs introduced with updates.

No matter who cooks on my lot, there will be a fire. Can be on the stove or on a BBQ. Has started since moving to the Old Salt Mill House in the spice district. There is no cursed trait. My main sim has level 10 cooking. Not sure why this is happening or how to fix it.

I realize this thread is from at least last year, but I'm having this issue and it's driving me CRAZY!! Out of nowhere, my Sim's stove started catching on fire - every. single. time.
This is absolutely maddening. I've had to Rosebud my character Simoleons to replace the appliances. I don't have anything in my kitchen I haven't had in there a million times before. I just can't figure out what going on.

Thanks a bunch! My Sims can finally get some food that's not salad, BLT or chips and salsa 😁

This has just started happening to me over the last month or so, unrelated to mood or fears. Sims with level 10 cooking skill, flash fully upgraded ovens, no fear of fire, confident and inspired are catching fire at about a rate of 50/50 when using their ovens or grills. Happening in all households I've played with across current game. It seems that to cook, they have to not be hungry (Sim this just happened to had high moodlets excepting a yellow bar for hunger, Level 10 cooking skill and Level 8 gourmet cooking and using a Schmapple Oven). Both Sim and oven or grill are catching fire. I'm genuinely irritated by this and I'm getting tense every time I send a Sim to cook, which is not a fun way to play. It's not interesting to make everyone prepare salads instead of hot foods, especially during a blizzard!
