Fire: Difference between revisions

|caption= Fire spreads rapidly. This is a very serious problem in ''The Sims''.

[[File:Fire!.png|left]]'''Fires''' can happenbreak out in Sims' [[residential lot|homes]], burning furniture and objects. FiresIn general, fires can start from [[cooking]] accidents, using objects that use fire, inventingmachinery onmalfunctioning, theor [[magic]]. Fires cannot start on [[Scraptronic™community Workbenchlot]]{{vgversion|TS3:A}}s, orbut ''can'' start in [[magicbusiness|owned businesses]].

A fire can spread from its original tile and will eventually burn objects, but if it is extinguished early enough, the objects can be saved. [[Gravestone|Urns or tombstones]] cannot be burned. Fire makes the [[build mode|build]] and [[buy modesmode]]s unavailable, so Sims or objects cannot be moved out of the way, and fire alarms can't be bought.<ref group="n">BuyIn and''The buildSims mode2'' cannotand be''The enteredSims when a fire is on the lot in normal gameplay3'', and the only ways toplayers enable buy and build mode is by using a mod such as the [[InSimenator]] to enable buy and build mode, or by using a cheat such as [[Testingtesting cheats|boolprop testingcheatsenabled true]], and then shift-clickingclick on the firefires to delete it.them, Doingallowing this will allow the playerthem to enter buy and build mode, and buy amodes fire alarmtemporarily. NoteIn that''The Sims 2'', the fire will immediately reappear once the game is unpaused.</ref>

In ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 4'', and [[The Sims 3 (console)|''The Sims 3'' for console]], the player will not be able to save the game when there is a fire. However, in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', the player can save an [[business|owned community lot]] during a fire and the owner can leave, although fire will automatically break out at the same spots whenever a Sim visits the lot. In ''The Sims 3'', a warning will appear if the player tries to save when there is a fire. In ''The Sims 4'', players alsocannot can't go in toenter [[Manage Worlds]] or [[Build mode (The Sims 4)|build mode]] during a fire.

[[File:Fire (The Sims 2) Icon.png|left]]The mainmost common way for a fire to start is through a cooking accident. A Sim is more likely to start a fire when cooking a meal for the first time, or one that they have just enough cooking points to be able to make. Even a Sim with 10 cooking points may start a fire when cooking a very difficult meal like lobster thermidor or bakedBaked alaskaAlaska. Also, Sims can set themselves on fire when lighting the flambé on a bakedBaked alaskaAlaska or crepesCrêpes suzetteSuzette.

'''NOTE''': In ''The Sims 3'', fires are ''much'' more likely to start when using cheap fireplaces, grills, or stoves. Leaving a fireplace burning for more than a couple Sim days is not advised, as it increases the chance of the object catching fire, unless they standardly have or have been upgraded to no longer catch fires.

Fire in the room causes a Sim's needs to drop quickly, and Sims will panic, stopping all actions to run ''towards'' the fire and complain, becoming completely useless. While the player can cancel the "Fire!" action and tell the Sims to move away from the fire, they are likely to ignore that command and go ''back'' to the fire. Sims who have learned [[Life skills#Fire Prevention|Fire Prevention]]{{vgversion|TS2:AL}} or have the [[brave]] trait{{vgversion|TS3}} can be partially immune to this. In ''The Sims 3'', Sims are smarter and give the player more time to choose an action, although choices are limited as many interactions are disabled. In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' and, ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Realm of Magic]]'', evil [[witch]]es, warlocks and warlocks[[spellcaster]]s will not react to fires that they start.

In ''The Sims 3'', fire will no longer cause a Sims' needs to decline, though a burning Sim will receive the "On Fire!" moodlet. If not extinguished within 1 game hour (30 minutes if the Sim was already singed) the Sim will die.  The Sim will have the "[[Singed]]" moodlet for a while after being put out. The singed Sim's hair will also be very messed up. In ''The Sims 3'', Sims can walk around while on fire; burning Sims can use a pool, shower, or showerdive well{{Vgversion|World Adventures}} to extinguish themselves.

In ''The Sims 4'', Sims won'tthat have their needs declining, if witnessing a fire. If a Sim catchescatch on fire, they will receive a [[tense]] "I'm on Fire!" moodlet. If the Sim wonisn't extinguishextinguished themselvesin time, they will die. The Sim will have a tense "Singed" moodlet for 18 hours after being put out. When a sim puts out a fire by themselves, they will gain the Confident Moodlet.

Babies and toddlers<ref group="n">While toddlers cannot be ''on'' fire, there appears to be a game glitch in ''The Sims 2'' which may allow them to die if left '''in''' a fire for too long. See [[Talk:Ghost#Ghosts' ages (Sims 2)|this talk page]] for discussion. A mod intended to address this is available [http://cyjon.net/node/426 here].</ref> cannot die by fire. Many adults will autonomously carry babies and toddlers out of the house if they spot a fire. Sims who live in an [[apartment]] will autonomously get out of their apartment until the firefighter arrives. If the apartment has no fire alarm, the landlord will eventually call the fire department.{{vgversion|TS2:AL}}

In ''The Sims 3'', if the house of the family that is being played catches fire, neighbors may take notice and will stand outside of the house acting worried. Additionally, if a house next door catches fire and a firefighter{{Vgversion|Ambitions}} goes to put it out, the other playable Sims on the active lot will run outside and panic as though the fire is on the home lot, and basically do nothing else aside from panicking. This can be considered as an annoyance to some players.

In ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', one of the [[Crystal Clear Ability Rocks]] can give magical Sims the ability to summon a cloud that will quickly extinguish a fire. This may save the burning object, but the Sim may be fined if non-magical Sims see it happen. WithIn ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', a good [[Witch#The Sims 2: Apartment Life|witch]] can use the [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Good" spells|Exflammoexflammo spell]] to extinguish fires. In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', [[Witch#The Sims 3: Supernatural|witches]] can use an Iceice Blastblast to extinguish fires.

Sims who die by fire will have a flame as their grave symbol.{{Vgversion|TS3}} Death by fire has its own [[ghost]] type. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the Sim appears red and smoking.; Inin ''[[The Sims 3]]'', they appear orange with an animated flame and smoke "texture".; Inand in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', they will emit smoke from their body. They will sometimes swim in pools or in the sea.{{Vgversion|Bon VoyageTS2:BV}} While these ghosts are not always angry or violent, they are more likely to be unquiet, causing them to sometimes get easily angry at anybody. In ''The Sims 4'', ghosts who died by fire will also set off continuous fires when they're [[angry]].
