Can't save sim from burning home. Anyone up for BBQ?
The_Goddess:
I ran into an annoying issue recently. My firefighter was unable to break down the front door to a house. He kept getting the "Can't get to it' bubble and stood there like a dummy. It was probably because the front porch was only 1 by 2 tiles and there was no room for the animations. This wasn't the problem; I simply chalk that up to a poorly designed house. Said house also only had the one entrance. The occupant has since been given notice that her home is a fire hazard and has added a second fire exit.
The problem was that I was unable to teleport into the home using testingcheatsenabled and the standard cheat. The option was available for any exterior location, but nowhere within the house. I remember someone mentioning here that they had to teleport to get to fires in un-routable locations. Is this is a new problem? I'm wondering if it was because it is not possible to teleport into a sim's home without first being invited, or if this is similar to not being able to ‘Build on lot' during a catastrophe. Either way, let it be a lesson to you to make sure your sim's homes are up to code.

Oh dear. Was that my starter house? If so I guess I'd better add a back door. :P
I haven't really played the fireman for any length of time. I find the new careers mostly tedious once the novety wears off and started a new game in another world. But if I have a chance to try the teleport thing I'll let you know what I experience.
The_Goddess:
No, it wasn't your house. The house of yours that I added to my world has a 2 by 4 tiled front porch and you have a back door, although that back porch is only 1 tile. BTW the world is done, I'm just playing one more night with it to make sure I haven't missed any major issues that the new world editor can't fix.

Must say I haven't encountered that problem yet, and been playing the firefighter a fair bit. Was it a custom house or an EAxis one?

It was a custom house. I can't remember where I acquired it from. The porch was arranged so that there was one tile between the door and a railing. I think 2 tiles are required for the kicking the door in animation, but I could be wrong.
Maybe the door was turned the wrong way. Do you think that would make a difference?
