It has been widely known for decades that Sims are not particularly smart, and least of all when it comes to house fires, during which they'll run up to 1 tile away from the fire and scream at it for no reason whatsoever, often resulting in them catching fire too.
This mod aims to make Sims far, far smarter and far less screaming, even to the point they can competently and expertly put out any fires.
The mod does this by:
• Changing the age availability of "ReactToFire_IGameObject" to the non-existent value "F", so that in no cases would any Sims or species panic.
• Massively increase the values for Sims to autonomously put out fires, whether on a lot or on a Sim.
• Massively increase the values for Sims to put themselves out, whether in a shower, swimming pool, dive well, ocean swimming, or all-in-one bathroom.
• Some bonuses, such as Sims being more keen on cleaning stoves, and making mermaids less inclined to use umbrellas (while SimBots are more inclined).
In some aspects, the mod is offered as-is: Autonomous shower-in-a-can doesn't seem to be done by the Sim that is on fire, and it's anyone's guess if the applicable autonomous object repairs are done, or if non-butlers call the firefighters autonomously.
v1.2 adds fixes for critical bugs, hastily critical enough that it wasn't feasible to spend time on updating the changelog below. v1.3 further fixed some remaining issues by removing dive well autonomy entirely, as the values for dive wells seem to disregard the weighings of other autonomous actions and to even disregard its own weighings.

# Notes
• While the gamemod bears faint similarities to Friendly Fires! No more panicking! **UPDATED FOR AMBITIONS** by jadaytime, this gamemod by me is far more detailed, covering game aspects all the way up to Into the Future and Patch 67, and very likely Patch 69 too. Nevertheless, this gamemod is base game compatible.
• If there is both a lot fire and another Sim on fire at the same time, it is fairly possible for a Sim to prioritise the lot fire instead.
• Known conflicts with other gamemods include with:
• • Enhanced Witches - Players with both gamemods can delete the "CastIceBlastTerrainFire" file in either of the two gamemods with S3PE as they see fit.
• • Usable Deodorant - Players with both gamemods can delete the "UseDeodorant_Deodorant" file from Competent Handling of Fires with S3PE.

# Changelog
• 13 May 2024, v1.2, which fixes:
• • A catastrophic bug wherein certain "Actual" values in "GetInPool_Pool" were so high, that it would instantly reach some kind of internal treshold for when Sims would get fatigued and complain about drowning.
• • Further reduced the dive well weighings heavily.
• 3 April 2024, v1.1, which fixes:
• • Fixed that Sims would use staggering amounts of showers-in-a-can autonomously.
• • Fixed that Sims would constantly use dive wells autonomously. This could cause problems for Mermaid Sims, for whom dive wells are one of the few livesaving things they want to use autonomously if it's not disallowed for autonomous use, but I couldn't find any ways around it.
• • Fixed that in rare situations, the game would ask the player a prompt for an entirely different NPC on a different lot, to dive through or rise up from a dive well that has a target destination assigned to it. Also causes the same problems for Mermaid Sims as above.
• Thanks to Algester for giving a heads-up about 2 of these tips.

# Notes
• While the gamemod bears faint similarities to Friendly Fires! No more panicking! **UPDATED FOR AMBITIONS** by jadaytime, this gamemod by me is far more detailed, covering game aspects all the way up to Into the Future and Patch 67, and very likely Patch 69 too. Nevertheless, this gamemod is base game compatible.
• If there is both a lot fire and another Sim on fire at the same time, it is fairly possible for a Sim to prioritise the lot fire instead.
• Known conflicts with other gamemods include with:
• • Enhanced Witches - Players with both gamemods can delete the "CastIceBlastTerrainFire" file in either of the two gamemods with S3PE as they see fit.
• • Usable Deodorant - Players with both gamemods can delete the "UseDeodorant_Deodorant" file from Competent Handling of Fires with S3PE.
————————————————————————————————————————————
# Changelog
• 13 May 2024, v1.2, which fixes:
• • A catastrophic bug wherein certain "Actual" values in "GetInPool_Pool" were so high, that it would instantly reach some kind of internal treshold for when Sims would get fatigued and complain about drowning.
• • Further reduced the dive well weighings heavily.
• 3 April 2024, v1.1, which fixes:
• • Fixed that Sims would use staggering amounts of showers-in-a-can autonomously.
• • Fixed that Sims would constantly use dive wells autonomously. This could cause problems for Mermaid Sims, for whom dive wells are one of the few livesaving things they want to use autonomously if it's not disallowed for autonomous use, but I couldn't find any ways around it.
• • Fixed that in rare situations, the game would ask the player a prompt for an entirely different NPC on a different lot, to dive through or rise up from a dive well that has a target destination assigned to it. Also causes the same problems for Mermaid Sims as above.
• Thanks to Algester for giving a heads-up about 2 of these tips.
