[S] Freezing to death indoors (wearing cold weather outfit, no thermostat)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.101.290.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all expansions except horse ranch, all game packs except Journey to Batuu, 10 stuff packs (knitting, paranormal, luxury party, spooky, toddler, patio, cool kitchen, vintage glamor, laundry, tiny living), and 2 kits (simtimates, blooming rooms)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play in a household with seasons settings
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims get the freezing moodlet while indoors and wearing cold weather outfit, eventually progresses to death ‌
What do you expect to see? I expect my sims to survive being inside even if its chilly outside. Should not need to get the thermostat just to keep them from dying ‌
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? No

  • Do you have the thermostat from seasons, heaters from snowy escape, or any fireplaces on the lot? You need to heat the building somehow. Why do you expect not to need the thermostat?

  • I have literally never needed the thermostat/fireplace/heaters before in my simming career. It's never been an issue until now.

    @AshleyEveBell You do need some kind of heat source (fireplace, heater, thermostat but you're saying it's also happening if they are wearing cold weather outfit (which is also a source of heat) ?

    Do they not freeze outside in the outfit ?

  • They do also get the cold moodlet while outside in their cold weather outfit. Basically they're just always cold.

    @AshleyEveBell and you tested this with several households in different Sims to see if it's limited to the household/save game ?
