After all these years, something new and very odd happened in T2 today

Hi Fellow Simmers! I'm back to playing t2 again, loving every minute.
Something very strange happened today. I was playing a new sim I made in CAS. I put him in a lot that I've had stored in a folder on my desktop for years. I can't tell you how many times I've played it, but yesterday I had to start a new game again, so I just used an old reliable lot for my new sim. Don't know if its the game, the tons and tons of cc & mods, or my computer, which is very old now, that caused this mess, but it was very new to me!
So, I get this new sim in the lot and he's learning skills. Looking for a job. I think I was able to play him about 2 sim days, just doing the normal Sims stuff when I directed him to put the newspaper in the compost can. He suddenly combusts into flames. I wasn't too worried, I "x-ed" out the flames and told him to extinguish himself... except he just suddenly is gone up in flames. The Grim reaper appears and that's that. There was no other sims on the lot, so he died.
So strange... Nothing like that ever happened before in all the many years I've played this game.
So I figured, I'd just go back into CAS and make a new knowledge Sim to put in that house, they always like seeing ghosts. So, I play this new sim for a couple days, and then the paperboy ignites into flames! He too is dead. That time, I had my sim run to the scene and beg the Reaper to let him live! But no go, my sim lost the game, so the paper boy was gone.
After Grimmy leaves the lot, my sim walks immediately to the kitchen, to get something to eat. He did this autonomously, and there, at the refrigerator, he too catches fire! Thank goodness I had a smoke detector in that room! The fireman came and put him and the room out. After that, I packed up his stuff and moved him out to a new house!
My goodness that was an exciting time, lol! What do you guys think of that? Has anything like that ever happened to your sims? I just was flabbergasted that this game could still surprise, excite and blow me away!

I have had this happen!
"There are two kinds of temperature; Sims' internal temperature and outdoor temperature. The outdoor temperature is affected by the season and the weather, and affects how fast a Sim's internal temperature will change when they are outdoors. Unlike outdoor temperature, Sim internal temperature is different for each Sim, and can be affected by what the Sim is doing and wearing. Sims who are too cold can freeze, Sims who are too hot can get sunburned, and can even have heatstroke. "

My sim was on the treadmill and over heated and poof!
Cinebar, I know there are those mods to check stuff, but I'd have to do a lot of research to try to remember what to use. I sure wish Darkraven still played this game and came on here, she knew so much about this game. Happy Holidays everyone!
However, is there a way you perhaps can upload said lot? Would love it as the ultimate home for my Knowledge Simmies as I feel bad for killing ugly NPC's to grant their wish or even take the risk of killing- and bringing back them to life to fit another wish of theirs.
I would have loved to, but this morning when I tried to load up my game, it just sat there and I had to reinstall it again for the second time this week. I'm now going to try the Ultimate Ts2 now to see if it will work any better.
I do still have the lot as it was originally, but I don't know if it will be "cursed" or not. I'll let you know if it is and I'll put it up on mediafire, if it is. But remember, the original house was made by some simmer that I don't have any idea where it came from. It's quite a nice English Cottage type of house. But it's very tiny, I always have to fool around and make it larger.
I'll get back with you, once I'm done setting up my game.
I'll let you know how it goes, but don't hold your breath about getting new ghosts.
Oh my! I thought I knew about all the mods, but I've never heard of that one. Do you remember where you got it? I usually just cheat to give my sims the bookcase from the Education reward, but I like your method better!
I found it at mts, but it's for t3 not 2. At least I couldn't find it. But thanks anyway.
Pretty sure it's this or a close match: http://modthesims.info/d/293562
Hahaha, or fire sprinklers in every room, that would eliminate the firefighter having to come over, but also in the same token, make water puddles.
Ah Ha!! That's great! Thank You!! I was looking for Book of knowledge not talent. That's where I went wrong, lol. But I'm glad to have it in my game now. Thanks so much.
