Hi, I was playing with Sims where it was very cold and there weren't many things to warm the Sims up. I used the campfire, but it doesn't stay lit for very long. Is there a mod or something that would make it take longer to go out? Thanks a lot.

I use Carrigon's Forever Burn Fireplace mod. Now, I don't know if if it works on the campfire, but you can try it. It requires the Pets expansion. To stop the fire, you have to delete the fireplace and then put it back.

Hi, that mod doesn't work for campfires. I tried it tonight and nothing. Anyway, thanks a lot. A modified campfire would also work. And if no one has made one, I don't think that mod turns off the fireplace. Is there a fireplace created by someone, something very rustic, similar to a campfire? Perhaps one from custom content would work. These Sims sleep without a house (no roof or walls), so they need to keep warm with a campfire or a very rustic fireplace. I suppose I'm not the first to ask for this (or am I?). Thanks.

So @Missdabone I wasn't sure whether or not to mention Sun & Moon's All Fired Up! 2.0 because it does way more than you're looking for, but I think it might be your best bet.

Pros:
1. ALL fires will last 8 hours
2. There's some pretty niffy custom fire pits and campfires you can choose to add in the set

Potential Cons:
1. ALL fires also require 3 piles of Tree Branches OR 1 Bundle of Firewood (or tinder box, I think) in order to be lit.

This is probably the biggest drawback, if you were looking for something simple. Like other Sun & Moon sets, this set/mod takes products from one thing and uses it to make something else. So the main idea behind this set & mod is that sims need wood to light fires, which probably isn't what you wanted. Now, I do highly recommend this set/mod; I myself use it, even when I play modern hoods because I like the idea of having my sims going out to chop down trees or buy firewood for their campfires. I think it's great for those times when I'm playing camping sims or sims living off the land. But I understand that it could be a bit of a bummer, if you weren't looking for that. If you're comfortable messing around in simPE, you could try tuning the mod to make it so that nothing is required for fires, but again, that requires a bit of work on your part.

2. It does require another set in order to work, Sun & Moon's Giving Tree set.

Again, I do highly recommend this set and use both all the time. And as Sun & Moon sets go, these two are fairly self contained; you just need the Giving Tree set and the All Fired Up set (i.e the firewood station, functional fires, and the functional fire mod itself). I find these sets useful even in modern hoods--it adds a bit of realism and challenge. I have fun making forests with trees from the Giving Tree set as well as a few other Sun & Moon items and then when my sims camp, they chop wood or gather branches. But you know, if you weren't look for that or don't want this, it would be a lot of extra stuff you don't need, especially if you choose not to try and tune the mod.

So, that's the best option available, I think. At the very least, you might be able to take a look at the functional fires mod and see how to tune the campfire to last longer.

Not exactly what you wanted, but this allows sims to add logs to the fire autonomously. https://www.tumblr.com/sunradersimb...use-of-campfire

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. I'm going to stick with the Charity mod, since these Sims aren't lumberjacks or anything like that. That mod is fascinating, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'll save it to try with another game. The Charity mod is closer to what I need. The other one, the one where the fire never goes out, is also quite useful, but the fireplace gets stuck, and you have to use "move objects on" to delete the object. In my scenario, a campfire looks better than a fireplace. Thank you so much, you guys are awesome, and Happy New Year to everyone!
