[S] Sims using the outside pool when it's cold and freeze to death (some worlds)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? Italiano
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? The Sims 4: Get to Work The Sims 4: Get Together The Sims 4: City Living The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs The Sims 4: Seasons The Sims 4: Island Living The Sims 4: Discover University The Sims 4: Cottage Living The Sims 4: High School Years The Sims 4: Growing Together The Sims 4: Horse Ranch The Sims 4: For Rent The Sims 4: Parenthood The Sims 4: Dream Home Decorator The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff The Sims 4: My First Pet Stuff The Sims 4: Tiny Living Stuff The Sims 4: Home Chef Hustle Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The sims 4 For Rent bug: having a pool in a rental or residential lot in Tomarang
What happens when the bug occurs? all the sims (controlled and npcs) constanly go to the pool side, swim or use the pool forniture when it's cold (autumn/winter) and freeze to death, no metter how many time i ask them to wear again the winter clothes. it happens expecially when neighbors and friends visit the lot where my current sims are living.
What do you expect to see? I expect they don't use the external pool when it's cold
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. when i installed "For Rent" i noticed this bug and happen all the times that my sims stay outside. I remember that before this game expansion if i tried to swim outside in cold seasons the game avoid me to do it telling me that was too cold to swim etc

After eating on the patio, my sims where relaxing themself inside the pool in winter season. the most frequent thing they do is talk sitting on the pool side.
(they love to exercise, maybe this can help to understand the bag too)

  • @crinrict Apparently it's only a Tomarang bug. I just tested pools on residential and rental lots on New Crest and everything seems to work fine. I tried on many lots on the new For Rent world and the bug still continuing happening.

    the screenshot is reffered to Newcrest where everything works fine

  • yes, i tried every lot even the comunitary ones in Tomarang. 
    I'm trying on ther worlds too, apparently is the same on cat and dogs world... Can you try to see if this happening even to you?

    @Tanya4ever Currently have so much in my backlog that I probably won't have time to test this as well.

    Seems straight forward enough.
  • Hi 

    Have you tried using the lot trait Geothermal as a temporary fix if you have it? It will heat pools.

    I suddenly started having this issue as well just recently. It happens to my sims in Windenburg, so for me it's not specific to the For Rent world (although I did purchase this pack so it may still be related).

    @Tanya4ever As another temporary fix to try, if you use mods, you can use MCCC to disable Autonomous swimming options for the pools on your lot. (This is what I did, at least for now.)
