It is to "be in a fire" and in the wish's description  "leave a fireplace on or cook on a cheap stove."

I remember that one now.  I think that is one wish I would rather not grant for my sim, lol.  I have never gotten that one.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Hi jerseygirl.  Does this Sim have the Daredevil trait?  They like to do things like this. 

I don't think just lighting the fireplace will work.  Your house needs to catch fire to fulfill the wish.  Many times cheap stoves catch fire because they're just cheap.  Fireplaces that aren't fireproof will also cause the house to catch fire.  I've also had fires from using an outdoor grill.  Unless your fireplace is fireproof, you can leave it on all the time and there will eventually be a fire.  Usually at night while your Sim is sleeping.

Be sure to have a fire alarm installed close to where the fire will be and be ready to call the fire department on the cell phone.  Your Sim can also extinguish the fire himself.  Just click on the fire and select Extinguish.  You'll probably have damage to the house and Sims can actually die in a fire.  So, be careful.  :)

But the fire already happened, and the couch near the fireplace caught fire. I had that definite Sim extinguish the fire by himself to make sure that he enjoys the event.  :D  But after he extinguished it, his wish was still not fulfilled! (Yes, he has that trait.)

The only other thing I can think of is that maybe he wants to catch on fire himself.  That's a little more tricky and I'm not sure it would even satisfy the wish.  But if he's near the fire and not putting it out, he could catch on fire.  More risk of death that way, of course, but you can often extinguish a Sim by sending him to the shower.

Maybe get the inventors table and put a shower next to it.  Mine always catch on fire, even ones with 5 or 6 skill points.  Not sure what else will work.

That's a good idea, Salty.  Inventors catch fire sooner or later.  Mine always make it to the shower in time, even if it's downstairs.

Oh, I've caught a Sim on fire once, and they have a sim hour to get to a shower, if you want to be daring, Jersey, or just don't like/have inventing.If you want to make absolute sure they won't die, grab a death flower- But it's a lot of work for a small wish.  :-[

I don't think I have the inventor's table, I don't have expansions.
I have something else that I do not understand. When a Sim improves or master a skill, the note that appears on the top left says "check (sim's name)'s skill journal to find challenges or to refine the skill" or things like that. What is that journal and where is it?

Look under the Skills tab.   You will see all the skills listed that your sim has, and how many points in each.  On the right side is a circle - click on that and it will open the Skill Journal.  There it will tell you what the skill challenges are for each skill and what your sim needs to do to master them.

So, I have these 2 sisters living in the same house with their husbands .... one of them got a girl the other got a boy, so I was thinking about making the girl and the boy fall in love and eventually get married!  Is that possible, to be cousins and living in the same home, and get married?
and if so, should I start getting them closer since their childhood or would it make a difference when they turn into YA ?

I believe if they are blood related, then there would be no romantic option even come up.

My Gen 5 Spare could do Romancing with his Mothers Cousin but they were not listed as family.

In Relationships there can be several different Symbols under the portrait (The Left Side)

The Family one is an Adult hugging a child - You can't go Romantic on these relationships -

Grandfather,
Grandmother,
Mother,
Father,
Son,
Daughter,
Grand Daughter,
Grand Son,
Brother,
Sister,
Uncle,
Aunt,
'Cousins'  ??? I have never tested had many cousins in any of my games so I don't know...

If these Icons don't appear you can Romanticise them...  8)

The game will show them as cousins.  I don't know for sure if it excludes romantic interactions, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it doesn't.
