[Mod related] Unexplained fires

[ Edited ]
★ Guide

I keep having random objects catching fire. Chairs, tables, toilets, garbage bin. There is seemingly no reason for the fires. The lot is off the grid.

@Viddeliten I was talking to the other user posting.

Did you test without mods now ? You're issue could be different to the other user since you use mods.

@Viddeliten Are you using mods/cc in your game ?

Any other lot traits ?

Hm, good point! I have quite some mods, including mccc, wonderful whims, shorter teens, preteen, better build/buy, Custom whims mod, career overhaul... Maybe one of those could be causing random fires?

 

As for the the lot traits, I randomize those and for this lot I got Celebrity home, Geothermal and Breeding ground. Lot challenges are Simple living and Off-the-Grid.

 

I remembered to go in here and have a look because today my plants caught on fire!

 

I will try and see if different lot traits do any difference, I am quite fond of having all those mods in, and I did update them the other day.

@Liebeslottchen Just anything or while you're cooking ? What lot traits does your house have ? Have you tested other houses/Lots

There are a few objects that are known to cause fires (like fireplaces and other objects).

@crinrict How do you interpret bushes catching on fire to me cooking? Do you mean there's a bug that if someone somewhere on the lot is cooking, plants in the garden could catch fires?

Sims always starting fires when cooking

★ Novice

Majority of the time when my sims are cooking it will end in them starting a fire, I'm using the Auld crow Wood-burning cookstove which isn't a cheap oven and even when changing the oven the problem still occurs. The plot is not cursed, none of the sims have traits that could contribute to the number of fires and when cooking the sims aren't tense. I was wasting so much money on replacing the oven that I gave all my sims level 10 cooking but still, they would frequently start fires. The game packs I have installed are Get famous, High school years and Island living and I don't have any mods installed.
