I've had this happen once, but that was right after Get Famous was released. My seasons are set to 28 days by the way. I would say that it could just be a case of an extreme random weather scenario, because I've also had heatwaves that last all summer. The craziest instance was a spring I spent in Brindleton Bay where I had a thunderstorm happen every day, for 28 days straight! (Needless to say that the entire household received the Storm Chaser trait from me during that time.)
I wouldn't worry too much about such freak occurrences (they're actually quite memorable), UNLESS it's happening AGAIN the next winter. Then it's definitely a bug. On a side note: It's winter in my world as I write this and the weather is pleasantly varied.
@DMDragonCT If you've watched James Turner's Rags to Witches let's play, it's happening in his game too:
I have seen the video and like I said, these freak occurrences can and do happen. However, you also wrote that this is happening in all your games and that is indeed reason for concern. Ok, there is one more thing you could try (if you haven't already done so), which is to delete your localthumbcache file located in your game's documents folder. Certain settings and effects are saved there and can carry over into other games. After you have deleted it, try starting a new game then. If you're still only getting freezing weather, then yes, I'd say it's almost certainly a bug.
Best of luck to you!
@crinrict I believe he plays with MC Command Centre, which I do play with on my regular saves. I asked on Deaderpool's server about it but he said it's not something MC Command Centre has control over and shouldn't conflict with. Do you want me to PM you my current saves with just MC Command Centre installed?
@DMDragonCT I already deleted my localthumbcache file before testing in the screenshots I posted in OP. As you can see, it was freezing all 20 sim days I tested it.
@simvasion Did you use the weather machine to change the season to winter? Changing the weather works fine for me, as does going to Sulani, San Myshuno, and Oasis Springs, but anywhere else it's freezing weather on all 28 sim days.
