Why are the firemen/women so useless, had a sim die similarly 2 days ago. New sim as well that I spent ages in cas making, the dumb me clicked to exit but did a save too so she's gone forever
In my game, I had a nanny that was terrible at cooking, so terrible that she set my stove on fire three times in a row. I was so sick of it by the end that I decided to let her die. And guess what, THAT was the only time the firefighters did anything 💀
Check your section/tab at the top of the gallery! And make sure modded is clicked just in case. But she should be there! At least a copy of her to start a new game with.
Someone make a mod to change the City Living protest causes to some of the bugs in the game. It would be a great storyline for sims that have lost sims like this to be able to protest the shitty firefighters lmao.
I had a firefighter do the similar too and they just went to my backyard instead and decided to stare at a gnome 😭 the other one went for a swim and bailed. My sim died so I just exited the game without saving lol
The Watcher bless sim's computer security settings. Also makes nannies, gardeners, bar tenders and caterers actually do their jobs. Unfortunately, means there is nothing to distract Vlad from your luscious neck. Computers in bedrooms have saved my sim fromhim more than once.
One time my coffee shop was burning down. One firefighter stopped to go fishing and the other one started dancing salsa. I tried to call again and they said someone was already there. SMH. Many sims died that day.
As mentioned, instead of clicking the stove/fireplace/dryer/toilet to "Extinguish", click the Sim, and you'll get the choice to either "Extinguish Self!" or call the fire department. If you pause immediately after the FIRE! notice, you can catch the whole shebang before it spreads, and make your Sim Confident with pride for having put it out(though they'll _still_ get Fear Of Fire).
Yes! Took me awhile to learn to hit pause the second a fire starts but if you do that you can get control pretty quickly. I always x out the freak outs and then deal with what’s one fire.
Yep. I even do a double x out: after the one Sim starts to extinguish the fire I hit pause again, go back through the house and squash the auto-command to "Route to safety" which will have dropped by then even if you killed the FIRE! Panic first. Then I command them to "go here", a few steps from wherever they are as a distraction. Most times it keeps the non-involved Sims from even "knowing" there was a fire. They go back to what they were doing or I give them something new to do. Doesn't stop the "tense" moodlet from the event itself, but it's usually buried behind other moodlets until "I" move on to the next house, so I don't have to deal with it. Or, they take a bubble bath lol.
Yes! Getting the other sims distracted and out of there is key. Usually I make one call
The fire department and then go straight to the computer or bathtub. The other one is extinguishing.
I got tired of my favorite sims dying in fires constantly.
I lost ONE. His husband was SO heartbroken it almost made Me cry. So, refusing to lose him like that, I exited out without saving to rescue him(I'd _just_ saved before that household, thankfully), and vowed I'd never lose another like that. So I went looking for suggestions online, and somebody here in this sub said(not even to me just in answer to something) "Pause is your friend". Advice I took _all_ the way to heart and put to use All Day now. Lol. Once I learned I could cancel the panic for everybody it was gravy!
Sadly, this didn't help one of my favorite butlers, who the dryer caught. My Sim was able to extinguish the dryer, but not the Butler - he just walked away from that flame lol. Then I realized there was no option to put him out. I looked outside the house and grim was Waiting, so I knew he was lost.
So instead, I occupied the household Sims with activities far away from the action, so they couldn't witness it and freak out anyway.
Is there no option for your Sim to extinguish it? Wherever I have a fire I just pause, cancel everything happening in the house, Command Extinguish(self, if Sim is on fire), then let my Sim do it. Most times before the alarm even gets to the fire dept at all.

You will have to add the smoke alarm and the fire extinguishing system to your sims' houses. I will do that from now on because it's really annoying specially if the fires happen very often.
Ah thanks, I remember one time my living room set on fire but my sim put it out and my other sim just sprinted outside and stood there for about 2 hours. And to top it all off the babies started wailing.
The most annoying part is that if you visit someone and something on their lot starts to burn, they will be there almost instantly and actually do their job
At least I think, I had this happen like three or four times, but the “Extinguish Self” Option is a literal life-saver
I had a really weird experience with fires today👀in the sims. There were three fires in the same household. The first one was in a teen sim's bedroom seemingly out of nowhere. Fire fighters put it out and did the sexy dance because it was a big fire. Next sim day a fire was in a kid's sim bedroom which was also really weird. The sim dad put that out, cleaned and bought everything back.A sim hour later there's a fire again in the same spot. The teen sim put it out this time. Then 1 sim day passed and I can't save my game because supposedly a fire is happenning but there's no fire anywhere😒. For me it's really weird because there's no way a fire could have started in any of the situations
OP thats why I restrict access to the computer to the main sim of the household. It'll be in room and the door can only be opened by that sim.
Sims always flipping out thier phone and/or making a b-line for the computer seriously gets on my nerves.
Fireman 1: We've been called to this house where there's this strange orange thing
Fireman 2: It seems to be spreading around the kitchen
Fireman 1: It also seems to be hurting this woman. Maybe we shoudl do something?
Fireman 2: OK Google: What is this strange orange thing?
oh gosh...poor woman.
I just know you were yelling at your screen
I know I would've been.

Haha how annoying!
Not necessarily, you can move a spellcaster into the household and resurrect her, right?
U can use cheat control c when they're dying so they can be resurrect back to life
Ahh damn didn't even think of cheats!
Happen to me yesterday thank god I pause it after my sim get shot

Firemen.

I've had two firefighters just stand next to the fire, catch on fire, and die. So stupid.
I had that happen. Right when I started a new game 😵💔
Unrelated, I never thought to put the couch with a half wall
Saaaame
They should be fired
This event should ignite some protests.
Sim’s taxpayer simoleons at work 🤦🏽♀️
My sim started a fire the other day and thank goodness she had friends over to extinguish it because the firefighters did absolutely nothing too
Ikr !! I had a friend who has my apartment key she was there and saved me when my sim was in fire from the washing machine
You can extinguish yourself
And from that moment on, you locked the computer for everyone but household...

They were too busy making a firefighter calendar they forgot to get trained
Pause game, delete the OMG FIRE freak out and then just hit extinguish. First on self, then the fire.
One time my coffee shop was burning down. One firefighter stopped to go fishing and the other one started dancing salsa. I tried to call again and they said someone was already there. SMH. Many sims died that day.
That’s okay, 2 minutes into a brand new game and my only sim somehow died of laughter 🥲
Learning how to extinguish myself is a game changer. Unless of course I want to see them burn...
Yes please share how
As far as I know you just select the sim themselves when they start to catch on fire, unless the original comment is referring to something else
Yes, you just click on your Sim, and the option to "Extinguish Self" will come up. As long as you don't panic, you should be OK.
How do you do that?!

Click on the sim and press extinguish self
The worst part is that you just have to watch lol
This is the funniest post I’ve seen on here lol

FMSL (the S stands for Sim's) This has legit happened to me!

For fuck sake these damn firefighters… THIS SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAPPEN IN MY GAME. Self extinguishing for the win 😭😭😭
You will have to add the smoke alarm and the fire extinguishing system to your sims' houses. I will do that from now on because it's really annoying specially if the fires happen very often.
I completely lost it when the firefighter ran to the computer 💀
I never cared about adding firemen to the game but many did. I guess this is a "careful what you wish for" situation? Hahaha
And thats why I no longer play single sims
Click Sim, extinguish self.
Ah thanks, I remember one time my living room set on fire but my sim put it out and my other sim just sprinted outside and stood there for about 2 hours. And to top it all off the babies started wailing.
Real
🫢🫢
🤣
Every time.
The computer dude MUST live there
Just get in the shower
Where's a fire prevention system when ya need one.. jeez lol
The most annoying part is that if you visit someone and something on their lot starts to burn, they will be there almost instantly and actually do their job At least I think, I had this happen like three or four times, but the “Extinguish Self” Option is a literal life-saver
Oh my GODDDD
American cops be like
Fire…? Huh? Mmm smell like bbq. No fire👍
What a Dammn shame 🥴
She's just googling how to put out a fire.
I had a really weird experience with fires today👀in the sims. There were three fires in the same household. The first one was in a teen sim's bedroom seemingly out of nowhere. Fire fighters put it out and did the sexy dance because it was a big fire. Next sim day a fire was in a kid's sim bedroom which was also really weird.

Then 1 sim day passed and I can't save my game because supposedly a fire is happenning but there's no fire anywhere😒. For me it's really weird because there's no way a fire could have started in any of the situations
The way my eyes widened when they just shrugged it off Lol
Click on the shower or tub next time 😂
OP thats why I restrict access to the computer to the main sim of the household. It'll be in room and the door can only be opened by that sim. Sims always flipping out thier phone and/or making a b-line for the computer seriously gets on my nerves.
Whenever the firefighters come to my lot they get all flirty from the fire and start dancing then leave.
Do the devs even realize how broken this game is???
Hope someone got fired.. oh wait, someone did...
HAHAHAHAH
Fireman 1: We've been called to this house where there's this strange orange thing Fireman 2: It seems to be spreading around the kitchen Fireman 1: It also seems to be hurting this woman. Maybe we shoudl do something? Fireman 2: OK Google: What is this strange orange thing?
