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- Anonymous7 years ago
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.
- SDPhantomGamer7 years agoSeasoned ScoutI don't have seasons, so I'm only guessing at the issue. From my observations, NPCs that don't have the hot/cold outfits pre-configured are generating them at random without consideration to the hot/cold weather tags on items. In my game at least, this often leads to outfits lacking protection from the elements and causing this situation.
