Um? (Seasons fire glitching)

Now that is messed up. I would freak out a lot more over someone spontaneously combusting rather than simply burning an omelet.
To add insult to injury, I had to delete the damned stove (a Maxis object) to get rid of the burned, smoking pan. No Sim could do the cleanup, no matter how many times instructed.
MyPrecious:
Humm yes I have the hot tub problem too; I think I'm going to just delete them all and spend the money elsewhere.
I suspect that the designers are pyromaniacs; I have a fear of fire and can't find any upgraded hacks for the stove or fireplaces so I have sprinklers and alarms everywhere (sad I know).
I had a palm tree struck by lighting and burst into flame during a storm, a visiting Sim who was staying the night (so he could be at the birth of first baby) leapt out of bed looked out the window and ran for his life? ;D The tree went out and seems none the worse for it. I installed one of those lighting conductors and it seems to work, plus I get to watch the lighting hit its pretty cool.

I had 2 sims spontaneously combust after sitting in a hot tub during a wedding party. I would have loved to let them die but I didn't want the party rating to tank so the bride and groom extinguished the fires. I am pretty careful about keeping my playable sims out of the hot tub but visiting sims are always bursting into flames. I actually like having them combust. They piss me off when they invite themselves to my sim's house and sit in the hot tub until 3 AM. I realize I could just do away with the hot tubs but SHC is much more entertaining.
I also have a lot of trees getting struck by lightening which is pretty cool to watch. I learned the first time that the rain will put out the fire about the same time the fire company arrives on the lot.
I have had one sim struck by lightening. She was pruning the fruit trees during a thunderstorm. Fortunately it didn't kill her. I still send my sims out to garden during thunderstorms; I just can't resist the temptation.
NothingToSee:
A touch off topic, and I don't know whether it's down to seasons or some hack, but I've had 2 sims autonomously start extinguishing fires. (Also - yes - I uninstalled the Stop Watching Fires hack.)
One was a plant sim who started extinguishing a visiting sim who caught fire in the hot tub, another was a "normal" sim who burned her pankcakes.
I've never seen that happen before!

I use the lightening conductor, and though no humans have been struck by lightening, lots of trees have. The stupid Prima Guide said that there was only a 10% chance of rain in the fall, but the first Fall I played not only did it rain at least once a day, but there were severe lightening storms that set trees on fire every time it rained. Majorly annoying.
Because there was so much to do - with the raking and the composting and the planting and the weeding and the watering - I used two cheats a lot; in debugging I used "make sim my contact" (if you do it 5 or 6 times in a row, you can make even a passer-by your best friend without so much as greeting them) and "maxmotives". Of course, what good is stocking up on produce and fish if no one ever eats? Anyway...
On one of the daily fireman visits, I made the fireman everyone's best friend. So once the rain put out the fire, he asked if he should hang out - and I said "yes". So, since I was Maxmotive-ing, he stuck around for DAYS, with the firetruck sitting out front, lights going, while he played chess with a truant Orlando and racked up over $1000 in tips at the piano. Finally I just had someone send him back to the fire station.
Ok, *I* found that funny. Of course, I was home sick all week and heavily medicated...still...
