Can't save sim from burning home. Anyone up for BBQ?
Claeric:
doors can be knocked down from any direction.
Did you think maybe it was the direction because of how window fires work? It really annoys me that window fires go a certain direction, instead of being able to understand which side is inside and which is outside.

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.
Good! I made several versions of that house so I couldn't remember whether the one I posted here had a back door, lol. I am downloading the new version of Fargo as I type; looking forward to trying it out.
You've got me wondering now about all the mechanics of playing a fire fighter (I played one early on, but only up to level 2 in Twinbrook) so I'm really going to have to play another one - maybe I'll do that in Fargo. It would be a good way to check out the new layout.

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?
I doubt the door direction makes a difference. Not having enough space for the animations sounds like a possible cause.

My husband had a gnome invasion while playing the firefighter, last night. It was hilarious. The gnomes stand there and shout obscenities at you while you try to catch them. They disappear as you grab. You can kick them over before you take them.

That would almost be worth the random fires that come with enabling the firefighter career. Almost. My second incarnation of Abelline (unfortunately defunct as I have a corrupt sim lurking somewhere and I'm sick of trying to find them) featured an antisocial crazy inventor with an adopted daughter, a robot daughter, and at least three of each type of magic gnome.
Most of my houses have 1x2 porches. They are pretty much all you can fit on the tiny lots I prefer, but they do occasionally cause routing issues if too much is going on in the itty front yard when a guest comes over. It's quite likely that the animation simply didn't have room to run.
