Firetrucks on a loop

Post by LisaDKG » July 14th, 2019, 11:08 am

I have a weird situation in my game that maybe involves a mis-aligned version of a mod but I swear it has just started recently and without having changed anything else in my game. Whenever the game summons the townie firetruck to a non-active's home, the firetruck arrives, the firepeople enter, freak out, and leave in the truck only to have the whole situation spawn again - charging the non-active family $400 (I think) each visit! This cycle will not stop until that non-active family is made active and one of the active sims calls for Services to cancel the Fire Dept. Depending on when in the cycle the call is made, they may have to call again.
I can't figure out if I look to rectify this in Careers, Go Here or if it's a routing issue? I have removed all mods and redownloaded them in case it was a conflicting version but that didn't help. It really is new for me and if that's a recent change and it's supposed to work like that then no prob. Has anyone else seen this?

What a dork I am! Just played and realized I missed the memo on these services being optionally recurring under Register. Sorry! Move along...nothing to see here...

As in, you accidentally set the fire service to be recurring? The things I let you guys get into... :P

I think some players do that because their sims enjoy the company of hot, athletic dancers perhaps not quite realizing that the party dancer Service Sims are not really firefighters. :)

Clearly one of the inactives found one of the firefighters super hot and felt the best way to get to know said firefighter was to repeatedly set the house on fire. I mean who doesn’t set the house ablaze to flirt with the hot local firefighters....in game of course that would just be crazy irl....:D
