Okay, so this has been going on for awhile now and I keep forgetting to troubleshoot it.

I have the Fire Mod installed, I think it's by midgethetree, but I can't remember... Anyway, it's supposed to make learning Fire Safety useful. However, every time I have a fire on my lot, anyone who has learned Fire Safety will try to put it out, as intended, then the game will throw an Object Error at me, resulting in me having to reset the Sim.

I'm not on the PC right now, so I can't get the specifics of it up yet, but is there anyway to tell what's going on?

If you want to know what's going on, you have to turn on testing cheats to figure out what the object error is.

I would also run the HCDU as well, because I don't experience this issue with the mod. Perhaps you have a conflict? Maybe you have another mod that affects fires or fire safety that you forgot to remove when installing Midge's mod, etc?

Sounds like the same error that this person had, it was the more dangerous fire mod that is missing a value for extinguishing fires, though you can add it in SimPE.

The only other mod I have that affects how fire functions is, in fact, the More Dangerous Fire mod. So, I'll have to add a BHAV in SimPE? I followed the link in post #3 and I don't get how to go about doing that. I've never edited a mod in SimPE at all, and when I do go to do so, it looks quite intimidating

I'm comfortable with SimPE when it comes to memory management, altering genetics, TOs, etc. but just not when it comes to mod creation and alteration.

Is it just the case of adding a new line, giving it a name, a value, and confirming the changes?

If you manage to fix it, could you share please? I use the More Dangerous Fires mod, and the firemod by Pescado, which sounds like it does a similar thing.

I downloaded the mod and made a quick edit for you guys - you can get it here. I put the value as 12 which is a bit stronger than normal according to Midgethetree. If you want to change it open the package in SimPE, click Tuning - Extinguish and then click line 6 (0x6) on the bottom half. On the left of that, you'll see it says 0x00C in Hex and 12 in dec - change the dec value to whatever you want, then click commit file on the right and save the package.

Thank you so much!

No worries, have a good day!

Thank you for this

hey, having the same issue but the above link is dead. anyone have an updated link?

Making the edits the previous poster explained, here's the edited version. Link above was dead, so I'm dropping it in a file here, hopefully it should be more accessible now. The final BHAV is set to 12 for sims who've learned Fire Safety (For reference, normal sims are 4 and NPC firefighters are set to 50) and after testing in my game I no longer get the error when a sim tries to extinguish fires. A little late, sure, but hopefully this will help you and anyone else who's having this problem!
