My most recent fire disaster happened this past weekend, while playing a round at the Ramaswami household.
It was 'Lover's Day' (courtesy of
Phaenoh's calendar with holidays). So, I decided to have Priya (who was pregnant) make a nice dinner for she and Sanjay, and light the fireplace as well.
He gets home from work while she's still cooking. Thought it was going to be such a sweet moment. The fireplace was going, sunset had set in (lightning mod). He walks in, immediately queuing up some ACR related wants. Then bam...a fire breaks out on the stove. Priya, is jumping all over the place. I'm shaking my head saying "You've got to be kidding me."...then I realize I don't hear the smoke detector and the fire department had not shown up.
It takes me a minute before I realize that though there is a detector in the kitchen area, it's not within the part of the kitchen where the stove is. I'd used one the flat landscaping fences to separate the wood flooring, from the tiled flooring.
I sigh, and try and get Priya out of the area...yeah right. Of course she ignored every command. Finally managed to get, Sanjay, calmed enough to make the call to the fire department...hoping they'd get the spreading fire under control. They show up, the fire gets put out.
Of course dinner is ruined, and Sanjay and Priya were both in the red on hygiene, fun and hunger by now. Priya, who was on her first bump at time, tanked in energy as well. I get both of them fed (with leftovers) and cleaned up. Priya, went off to bed and Sanjay played a computer game. So much for a romantic evening.
And just when I thought things couldn't get worse (No, the fireplace didn't start a fire that night, but it did the next day.) The game camera jumps up a floor to Priya, getting out of the bed, holding her belly and moaning. She was suffering a miscarriage (yet another mod), which only added to her stress. She went into aspiration failure, of which I couldn't get her back to green, or yellow, before the round at their home ended (I do not use cheats for motives and such, always play with freewill on, and only focus on wants that Sims roll).
So the next round at their home, should be interesting.
