Hey @crinrict.
This only applies to active Sims from what I've seen. The thing is, when NPC comes to your lot, they are already in their winter clothes and they stay in it whenever they go inside and back outside.
I tested it for a while in my game. I tried different saves, new save, changing seasons/weather with weather machine or keep it natural. Still the same result.
Also I recorded it. First I'm showing mods are off, it's freezing outside and my Sims are wearing regular clothes. Only that kid changed into winter clothes when I told them to go outside. I also tried to show some autonomus actions because that's when they mostly change into winter clothing (you can only see that with the toddler, my bad). When I used interaction "Build a snowpal with..." Sims changed twice out of three times. At the very end (I know it's longer video, sorry 😄) there is a blizzard outside but once again, none of my Sims changed and they started freezing immediately.
There are other Simmer experiencing exactly the same issue: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16571324

I'm having this bug, but only with NPCS. Almost all NPCS in winter, anyway, are walking around in that Icey Blue coloured skin they get from being very cold, wearing athletic wear, normal wear, etc. Only one or two NPCS have been seen with cold weather outfits.

I've lost the same NPCs in every game I've opened and it seems to be happening in Willow Creek. It also takes forever for them to turn to tombstones.

For anyone still encountering this (without mods), some questions:
- Are you seeing NPC's with this issue, your own active Sim, or both?
- Which worlds are you seeing this issue in?
- Which seasons are you seeing this issue in?
- Which lot types are you seeing this in? (Home lot, Nightclub, Gym, Park, etc)
- Is there an event occurring when this happens? (Party, Date, Festival, etc)
Note: If you change the outfit of your active Sim manually, it is by design that the Sim does not automatically change outfit the next time the Sim goes outdoors/indoors. If the Sim never automatically changes some time after that though, it is an issue.

**updated** For the record, I don't use mods.
- Are you seeing NPC's with this issue, your own active Sim, or both? Both
- Which worlds are you seeing this issue in? All worlds that can have fall, winter and spring.
- Which seasons are you seeing this issue in? Winter mostly. Summer sometimes. In spring, I know you have to manually change them into their rain coats because it's an everyday outfit so that doesn't count - although it would be nice to make that a separate outfit from the everyday. I haven't played much in fall but the issue is mainly the sim changing into their winter coat or summer outfit. My sims get overheated or they turn blue from cold since they don't automatically change into the correct gear. The NPCs are the worst. They are all running around looking blue or red and dying from exposure.
- Which lot types are you seeing this in? (Home lot, Nightclub, Gym, Park, etc) I mostly play my home lot while I'm building my sim up, but it's everywhere. It doesn't matter what lot type it is. When I take my Sims to the gym, they change into their athletic gear. When they leave the gym, they change into their regular clothing but sometimes into their outside gear. It's very iffy. Like you're taking a chance on what they'll do and when they'll do it. However, no matter what, as soon as they get home, they stay bundled up in their winter coats. It's not as big a deal if they stay in their summer clothes but it's annoying that they won't get out of their winter coats.
- Is there an event occurring when this happens? (Party, Date, Festival, etc) Not all the time. They do this all the time whether there's an event or not. I try not to stay outside for too long while playing the game because I'm tired of the NPCs dying.
