Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Spa Day
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? During winter, invite people over via a social event to the Von-Windenburg Estate lot and watch as people arrive via the bottom of the hill, rather than spawning right next to the house. By the time the sims get to your house, some die if there is a blizzard. Please note, this is not using the original Von Windenburg Estate house.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims freeze to death
What do you expect to see? Sims arriving and leaving the house closer by
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I invited 15 sims over for a dinner party, for 'Christmas', at my recently created house on the Von Windenburg Estate lot. They all arrived hours late because they were all walking a winding path up to the house (see the two faint figures near the top of my screenshot as an example) in a blizzard. One teen sim died.
The front of the house is on the opposite side, and when my sims arrive home from school/work they spawn at the right location, unlike the visitors.
This is actually the second time a sim in my game has freezed to death. This is very annoying as both times they were relatives of my played sim family.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Tag and title
I'm not seeing freezing, but the way spawning works for that lot is very frustrating. It's impossible to host a toddler play date at that lot because the toddlers will spawn across the island, which is way too far for them to walk.
@crinrictHi and thanks a lot for your reply 🙂 It's not only an issue for this one place. I also have this problem on the island in the bottom left in Windenburg. I will try to find the names of the lots, but my game isn't in English so it will take a moment
It seems to me that there are two issues. One is that sims spawn too far away on that lot. The other is that sims are too dumb to change clothes if they start to freeze or burn to death when they have ANY reason to wear other clothing. They die of heat stroke if you have an outdoor party. The freeze to death at festivals because they put on athletic clothes to shoot basketball. And that windenburg lot is trouble in any weather. Sims often never get to the house before giving up, getting distracted by another sim/situation, or running out of time (because the event is over or it's too late at night or they are a vampire and the sun has come up).
