[OPEN] [S] Sims freezing/overheating due to wrong outfit

I can't help but notice an alarming rate of Sims dying due to wearing the wrong clothing either when it's really cold or really hot. I understand that this should be a normal function in the game, but I find it frustrating that these townies are refusing to help themselves in a life-threatening situation. I have the Get Famous expansion along with Seasons, and my Sim was invited to a charity event, which took us to a park during a heat wave. Everybody except for the host and my Sim were wearing formal clothes and about 5 minutes later, they all started dropping like flies due to overheating. I ended up quitting my game without saving because about 13 Sims died and it took the Grim Reaper far too long to reap them all. I found it a bit frustrating that I had to reload my save because of a bunch of townies cooking themselves by wearing tuxedos and dresses outside during the summer. It was a while later where nothing went wrong until I sent my Sim to the gym during the winter. Sims were putting on their athletic clothes to go exercise and then proceeded to jog outside in the freezing snow, and the same thing started happening, although not in such big numbers, instead about 3 Sims died at once. It almost seems like these townies are just throwing themselves into these situations without any help from the player and it's incredibly annoying. I feel like townies should be programmed to automatically change to the appropriate clothing whenever they're outside in the heat/cold. This would make the game much easier in terms of Sim casualties that will not get in the way of the player's experience.

You have options in the game settings. "The weather has an effect on sims." You can turn it off

I understand that is an option, but my problem isn't the temperature, my problem is the townies killing themselves by not wearing the right clothes. I rather like the way temperature works in the game and I think it works just fine, it's the townies that I believe should be reprogrammed. I shouldn't have to turn off a feature I like because of townies not being able to take care of themselves.

From what I've experienced so far in Seasons, whether or not if the clothing items you have are tagged as hot/cold outfits doesn't actually change the category's effect. As long as it is in the "Hot Weather" category or "Cold Weather" category, it will still serve its purpose. For example, you can force a Sim to wear tank tops in its "Cold Weather" category by removing the tag for "Cold Weather", and they still won't freeze, not because they are wearing cool clothing, but because they are wearing the "Cold Weather" category, if you get what I'm saying. The problem I'm facing involves townies NOT putting on these outfit categories when they need to, thus killing them in the process.

Hi @S0l4rFire

as someone made a bug report on the same issue, I merged your post into this

I'm having the same issue. Well I should say the freezing to death has never stopped in my game. Yes, I play with mods and cc, but I started a fresh, clean vanilla game, and still having the same results. This is really starting to get on my nerves. I don't understand why this issue can't be fixed! Last night I had to exit without saving because two of my sims - who I wasn't playing at the time - froze to death. I've even had to go and bring sims back from the dead because they froze to death while I was playing a different household.

I have seen this too. Its morbidly useful once your population gets too high......😈

.....joking aside.... I sometimes have had to use mccc to force sims into appropriate clothes in extreem situations like this. 

Its only annoying if a sim you care about dies in this type of situation. 😯😱😢
