Fire: Difference between revisions

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

[[File:Fire!.png|left]]'''Fires''' can break out in Sims' [[residential lot|homes]], burning furniture and objects. FiresIn general, fires can start from [[cooking]] accidents, using objects that use fire, inventingmachinery on the [[Scraptronic™ Workbench]]{{vgversion|TS3:A}}malfunctioning, or [[magic]]. Fires cannot start on [[community lot]]s, but ''can'' start in [[business|owned businesses]].

'''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 4'', Sims that catch on fire will receive a [[tense]] "I'm on Fire!" moodlet. If the Sim isn't extinguished in 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.

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. In ''[[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.
