So I started playing the Sims 4 again and to no avail a fire starts in the home. Whatever no big deal i'll just get my sim to to put it out...
that would be a nope. Obviously there is a routing an issue and my sim won't put it out. And guess what ain't no NPC fireman coming to do so either. Oh and you can't enter build mode when a fire in on the lot so can't go that route either.
This has been an issue since the beginning of this game, can we please get it fixed.

BUT...
One of them accidentally stepped into the fire and it caught. When she extinguished herself, she extinguished the fire around her. So I put it out by walking her around all the flaming spots, letting it catch, and having her put herself out over and over.
It was...disturbing.

It protects every floor of the inside of the sims house and do it much faster than when we used to have fire departments. I love them.
ETA - the only place it does not help of course is outside the house - Sims have to put out fires outside on their own - but I keep cans of the fire sprays in my sims inventory from JA before they have an outdoor event and those cans generally put barbeques and campfires out quickly with out sims getting burned.

While this family pictured was patched in that home under the freerealestate cheat, I don't usually play with cheats. But it's like @katrinasforest said... Everytime a new family is started this happens and usually that family doesn't have the funds for the sprinkler system when starting out.
@AprilDawn thank you for letting me know bcuz I was about to report it.
@Simburian it was coming from the fire place. I wasn't using the thermostat bcuz it can cost bills to be high and my family here only had starter funds.
@Techbilt that's awesome you haven't had any issues. Though I do believe this is an ongoing bug in the game when it comes to fires. And like all bugs some it affects others it doesn't. You're lucky it hasn't happened bcuz it can be so annoying to the point where you don't even want to play.
It's just that I've suffered from carpets starting fires myself! Good luck.
Earlier this day she discovered she wasn't prego and was super sad but she tried to push through it and cook a grand meal for Harvestfest... The day did not go well.
While in a sense this is kinda comedic in that a fire on Harvestfest day couldn't be far from what happens IRL, however another fire with a new family.
Yeah, reading the cooking skill book ahead of tie helps. Also, you can just let your Sim live on salads for a while until their cooking level improves.
What is everyone doing?
I also like wandering the hills.
Oh yeah they do spread faster now by default. Like that a lot! Just not spontaneous enough for my tastes, I get tired of basically setting my Sims up for a fire. There’s not much fun in always doing that.
I use the More Deadly Intense Fires by Weerbesu Flavor 1, with his fires on any lot add on so fires can breakout on community lots as well. He offers 3 flavors and another add on called Extreme fire spread rate. I have tried all of them but stick with the two I mentioned above because the others make nearly impossible to put the fires out at all, and it can literally take 2 in game weeks to burn itself out in which case without the UI Extension Cheats mod your Sims will die of hunger since the entire lot locks down during a fire. Flavor 1 increases the spread rate, and it's a challenge to get it out by it is possible.
Agreed
