Almost entire family burned to death, including child - why?
Zazazu:
"Info...LTA milestones" can add LTA points for marry-ins, who somehow don't get points for becoming an adult or graduating or having their first woohoo even though half the 'hood has had a piece of them.
"Fix...Flashing blue" can be used for quick appearance changes on anyone, residents and townies alike, even if the lot doesn't have a mirror.

She annoyed me.
I've killed kids off by flies before, but that was using Rodney's Death Creator, and hence isn't necessarily an indication of what is actually possible in-game.
Yes, Marsha always used to be "storyline fodder" when I still played with default townies. Aged up, she really did not have great genetics anyway. I think I'll have to try default townies again sometime. I miss killing off Goopy and the rest.
Rodney's Death Creator has been an invaluable tool for ridding myself of excess population in interesting photogenic ways.

......... I don't know how to use the lot debugger, so that's ruled out. I'll just have to let the lot go.
The lot debugger is very easy to use. Why not download it and look at the options available? Next time it might be a family you care about.
Here's a few of the self-explanatory options to whet your appetite
Nuke has options to fix an awol headmaster & lost fishing spots
memory has an option to delete the attraction markers that cause assorted bugginess - sims act frigid for example..

Thank you for the information. I did have the Lot Debugger at one time but once I realized I had no clue how to use it, I uninstalled it. Now that you both have elucidated some of its features, I will give it a try. I did think that it would have been a very different situation if I had actually wanted to keep the family in the game.
Just as an epilogue, I went back to the house with the intention of moving out the one remaining family member, the grandmother. I clicked on the computer so she could find another place to live. While I was doing that, she caught fire and died. Then the Grim Reaper sat down to watch tv for a while, while the cat ran around the house. Eventually someone from Pet Adoption Services came over to take the cat away, since there were no sims left to care for it.

Snapdragon, I had a child spontaneously combust just from walking from the front of the house (after getting off the school bus) to the back of the house to play on the swingset -- it was a playable child, but from a different family. That was before I added the Seasons patch and then added JM's warmthfix mod. I was surprised as well because I had always thought that only teens on up could even die in the game. But yes, children can die by fire. Oh, and I don't have any games newer than Seasons, so mine was not a Free Time glitch.
Hmmm... Guess it's a Seasons glitch. I never download the patches anymore, so my game isn't patched. My solution for this issue is to save my game often, so if I do get another family wiped out by fire, I can quit without saving and still have most of my recent game. I'm crossing my fingers it was just that one borked lot and not a game-wide glitch.

Why would you want to play with a buggy game? Patches fix stuff that needs fixing. Just look at the fix lists on the BBS. Don't think you're covered by adding new EPs - you're not. Also modders make hacks and fixes for a patched game - the fixes for old bugs aren't around any more
