I started noticing sudden fires and didn't know where they were coming from.  My woman was all black from being on fire.  Then later there was another fire.  The toilet and bed were black from being on fire.  Then I finally spotted where the fires were coming from.  My man was peeing in the toilet and a fire started.  Then my boy was and it started a fire.  I removed all mods.  I just noticed it with the last update.

@savedasims Do you upgrade your toilet to Composting Container ?

@savedasims : Also, according to the patch notes for 1.65.70 (Nifty Knitting Stuff pre-patch from July 23rd, 2020)...

• Has this ever happened to you? Your Sims are in the privacy of their bathroom, and suddenly there is the smell of smoke? If your Sims have experienced a... “burning sensation” while satisfying their Bladder need - no more! Thanks to F1xABuG*. F1xABuG deals with all symptoms of flammable bladder functions, patch today!

*F1xABuG will not relieve all fire related incidents while in the bathroom, Sims still will possibly experience flammable encounters if they are Angry or have had Spicy Food. Fire may also still be experienced if Simmers have installed Eco Lifestyle and choose to Compost upgraded toilets with no Insect Farm on Lot. F1xABuG is not responsible for any other side effects, such as Reticulating Splines.

Are Angry moods and/or spicy food possibly involved, too?

Apparently I did without reading the details. Now I feel like an idiot.

@savedasims : It's okay.

This happens if you have Eco Lifestyle.

If you have a Sim with the "handy" trait from finishing the Nerd Brain aspiration and they instant upgrade the toilet, it applies the "composting container" upgrade.  Or you might have added that upgrade manually.  Either way, that toilet almost certainly has a composting contaner. 

If you have a composting container and don't remove the compost the toilet catches fire.  The option to remove the compost doesn't appear unless you have an insect farm, however. 

If anyone wants to see this in action, LilSimsie's short lifespan legacy includes one of these toilets.

@acoxshes Did you add the composting container upgrade ?

[xochiquetzl_xkvn]

@acoxshesIf you're not sure if you have the composting container, click upgrade and see if that option is already checked off.
