Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have every DLC for the Sims 4 installed.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game and on LAND while NOT swimming during winter, Sim will frequently turn blue and experience an uncomfortable moodlet called "Sudden Chill" (from swimming) lasting for 2 hours.
What happens when the bug occurs? On LAND while NOT swimming during winter, Sim will frequently turn blue and experience an uncomfortable moodlet called "Sudden Chill" (from swimming) lasting for 2 hours. The Sudden Chill never happens while the Sim is swimming, only on land. This will happen about five or six times during a sim day while they are on land. This didn't seem to happen in warm seasons.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the Sudden Chill moodlet while swimming but not always on land while my Sim is going about their business.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After Island Living installed
Clearly, she is on land.
I'm sorry, I don't know why this rendered upside down.
Mine is doing the same thing

We've had trouble reproducing this one, could anyone share a save file? Thanks so much for the help! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302

This is happening to my sim as well, every couple of minutes. I even put a thermostat in the house with no success of stopping it.

Same Sim / save file as submitted above. He has not left the lot and does not have a pool.The only thing he did right before this popped up was have a couple Kava drinks.

I just started experiencing the same thing in my game, on one of my two new sims. Important to note - I have a completely vanilla game, and NO Seasons installed. Base game, RG, IL and freebies. No cc/mods - never used.
I have 2 newly created sims living in Sulani. Both are in the Conservationist career, one in each track (but the inappropriate sudden chill moodlet began before they chose their career tracks so doesn't appear to be related).
The one who developed the issue is a Child of the Islands, Self-Assured & Genius.
SpoilerNo skills at level 10 yet, no aspirations completed, concentrating on leveling logic, charisma & gardening. Was concentrating on The Curator aspiration, but started switching back and forth between Angling Ace & Freelance Botanist. Very low swimming skill, and was level 2 or 3 fitness when the inappropriate "Sudden Chill from cold current" started happening. Had experienced a tense moodlet from being dragged out to sea, also from having a shark come by, and the sudden chill moodlet - all appropriately in the water while swimming. Started getting the moodlet a couple of times when not swimming. Most recently got the "Sudden Chill" while using the toilet. Had made Kava and drank a cup beforehand. It had been at least 6 - 8 sim-hours since she was swimming.The one who has not experienced this yet is a Child of the Ocean, Genius & Active.
SpoilerNo skills at level 10 yet, no aspirations completed, concentrating on leveling logic, fitness & cooking. Was concentrating on the Bodybuilder aspiration, but has switched off and back from The Curator & Freelance Botanist. High swimming skill with level 9 fitness and at the final goal for the Bodybuilder aspiration. Has since achieved level 10 fitness. This sim had one "Sudden Chill" appropriately in the water while swimming, early on when he was lower skill swimming and around level 5 fitness. Has never made Kava, but has had a few drinks of it. Has not yet experienced an inappropriate sudden chill moodlet.Reading through the other posts, some similarities with others posting may be low swimming skill (instead of low fitness?), self-assured trait, Child of the Islands trait (although the ones that don't even live in Sulani or have never been to the world probably don't have that trait), and drinking or making Kava (again, doubtful but possible for the ones not playing IL). Since the Kava drinking will give different moodlets depending on what the sim is doing (drink it before bed, and you'll get the "well-rested" energized moodlet from sleeping; drink it during the day and you get the "calmed" happy moodlet), I'm wondering if the "sudden chill" moodlet is accidentally linked to making the Kava?)
**edit - I'm not sure about any other times, but I did notice the last two times this has happened for my sim, she was wearing her bathing suit even though she was not swimming. Would be interested if anyone else has noticed this?
