Gardener/Butler NPCs keep dying a fiery death
I started out hiring a gardener and he perished in the afternoon by spontaneous combustion which I'm pretty sure is heat related. But it's Fall in my game? Anyway, I fired that guy and got a butler. Well, about 4 butlers now as they all die during the gardening part of their duties. It's very disruptive to my sim's afternoons and just plain annoying because it is literally every sim day some dude is dying on the lot. I can extinguish them but only once as the second fiery explosion on their buttocks is the fatal one.
I've tried to Google for different stuff but I wasn't having a lot of luck. I'd prefer not to disable heat deaths across the board but I will if it's all I got. Maybe something that prevents NPCs from dying on the job? Any help or response would be appreciated.
