Fires Require Wood ~ Add on Mod
Add on for the Hunting & Foraging mod to use the foraged wood to light fires.
This mod will not do anything on it's own. You need to have the collecting wood.package in the Hunting & Foraging Mod.
----
This mod overrides** Lighting and Extinguishing of ALL:
Fireplaces
Campfires
Bonfires
**This mod will conflict with mods altering lighting & extinguishing fires.
It should be compatible with cc fireplaces, bonfires and campfires.
In game:
When directing your sim to light a fire, you need to have the foraged wood in the sims inventory or the option will be greyed out.
When lighting or adding a log, 1 firewood will be used.
I have changed the 'light fire' animation to add a log and the 'extinguish fire' animation to pouring a bucket of water to keep it more rustic.

any issues let me know..

i’ve downloaded all that it says is required for this mod but there is no option for my sims to collect wood and i’ve tried everything.
Hi, your sim can collect wood via the Sign Post that you place on your lot. It’s under the forest activities 😊
Are you planning on adding an add-on so that stoves and ovens require firewood, too? .. and possibly grills? because those would make sense, too.
I'm working on my own custom hearth oven as otherwise I think it would conflict too easily with other mods if I were to override the stoves.
Can this download be added to the ye olde cookbook file I have in my mods file or are they incompatable?
The ye olde cookbook kit mod is retired and will not be compatible. I'm slowly going through and updating each part.
I am having so much fun with this mod. I think I’m going to do a video on it.
Is there any way to make the firepit stay lit longer would love to use it as a heat source for my medieval sims.
You’re killing it with these! I’m so excited to get this into my Henford on Bagley lot. I downloaded and have been playing with the foraging mod and it has revitalized my playing! I was in a sims rut but not anymore!
Love this! Does this require the full foraging mod or just the collecting wood package? Thanks 😊
You should be able to have only the collecting wood package (along with the main package) I've made it where you can pick and choose what parts to have. If there's any issues let me know!
So cool!
Amazing!
Awesome 😎
