I don't know - whenever I start a game, I find it helpful to sit the
guy/girl down right off and whiz through 2 cooking points right away.
 Before his/her levels get too bad.

I, however, have NEVER had a sim sucessfully light a fire in the
fireplace without starting a huge blaze.  And I've been playing for at
least a couple of years now.  You would think that a sim that has all
his skill points (and I mean ALL) would be smart and handy enough to
start a fire (and keep it) in the fireplace, wouldn't you?  Oooooh,
no.  And I've made the mistake a couple of times to make my fireplace
in a room that doesn't have a smoke detector - I always put one in the
kitchen, but if I've decided to "romanticize" the bedroom or
something, and I have someone start a nice little cuddly fire, it ends
up in disaster.  Hardly romantic.

is REALLY anxious for the Sims 2 to come out this spring...
