I edited my post with more details that should hopefully answer every question (and more...)

I hope it's sufficient now.

My lot is a rental lot, and has the homey lot trait and good schools lot trait. It is a lot in growing together. My plant objects keep setting on fire, no candles or fireplaces or ovens or ANY appliances are near them, has happened to floor plants, table plants, even a wall plant and they just all of a sudden set on fire. 4 have started whilst I’ve been playing, and have only been playing for an hour and half. 

plant just combusts and then is left in a ash pile.

Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

Hi, Thankyou for your suggestion. 

My game has no mods or CC downloaded and I do not play with them, so don’t think it has to do with mods or CC.

Try doing a factory reset as described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

@michaylavn  Did you ever have the Cursed Book event on this lot?

[michaylavn]

I have had it once but it happened a while before the cursed book event happened and also after.

@michaylavn  I was asking because I wondered if you had this issue:

If you think so, let me know, and I can merge your posts with that thread.

Does anyone else have the issue where there are fires everyday in game? A fire will randomly start without any type of trigger from use in game. The fire will start on random objects such as a the shower, table, bed etc. I was told to fix it that I should cure the "fear of fire" for all sims in the household. I have done that and nothing has changed. I have restarted the game several times. I am unsure how to fix this and find it very annoying.
