[FIXED] [S] Chilled/Overheating moodlets in certain rooms when indoors

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? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except "pets" related
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a single building with multiple rooms. Place AC control by front door. Any back rooms will cause "Chilled" moodlet in sims even if "Heat" is enabled and "Overheating" moodlet when Cold is enabled during those respective seasons.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims die indoors even with AC/Heat enabled.
What do you expect to see? AC control should work for entire building.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Sims getting "Chilled" moodlet when indoors with Heat turned on and "Overheating" with cold turned on. Seems to occur more in other rooms. EX: AC control by front door and sim is in the bedroom/bathroom. Only seems to occur during the coldest/hottest days.

"Chilled" does not occur in rooms with Fireplace lit, but not practical to put a fireplace in every room. Also this doesn't fix "Overheating" problem.

Deleted and re-purchased the thermostat.

Occurs on multiple buildings, custom made and maxis made.

Deleted and re-placed all walls, ceilings, and roofs. Verified all rooms sealed.

Occurs on all saved games. With and without mods. Even on new games created without mods.

Also in some cases, sims get out of bed in upstairs bedroom and change into cold weather clothes before going downstairs. Building is verified sealed from outside.


  • ● Sims should no longer get the "Chilled" buff when the thermostat is set to warmer.
    - Unless you have a heater that turns on and off repeatedly due to a bad switch in the system, and then when it decides to fail completely, it just ignores input for about 3 hours, and then when you wake up in the morning you have to carry a heavy blanket with you… ah hm… nm


    Fixed in Patch 1.62.67

    If you still have issues with Overheating (as this was specifically for chilled), please create a new thread.
