@SheriGR, yes, I've noticed the same thing! I would be nice to have them change automatically for the weather -- sometime they do, but other times they don't and I can't figure out why! 🤨🤔 While I do play with autonomy on, I tend to micromanage my Sims 😳 , so it isn't a big deal unless I'm playing a large household. However, I can see people who aren't such control freaks with their Sims having a big problem with this! 🤭

As usual, I agree and like the way you think, @PugLove888 !! 🙂
- jmeadowbrook7 years agoSeasoned HotshotHave any of your Sims bought 'Cold Acclimation', 'Heat Acclimation', 'Waterproof', 'Heatproof', 'Iceproof', etc. in the 'Rewards Store'? That might explain why they don't always change their clothes, they don't need to.

@jmeadowbrook, excellent point! 🙂 Unfortunately, at least in my case, I've only bought one of those rewards once (and it was by accident when I was trying to buy another reward! 🤭 😃 ) But I'm sure your info will be helpful to others! 😇 @SheriGR, have you happened to have bought any of the temperature related rewards yet? 🤔
In playing some more since the last time we discussed this I have noticed that at least in some of the cases is depends on what "cold" and "hot" are perceived as. 🤓 What I mean is that there is no "neutral" on the thermometer, but that a slightly cold or slightly hot temperature will be perceived by Sims as being relatively neutral, even if the thermometer looks to us as if it is cold or hot. In these cases my Sims will never change to their cold or hot weather clothing but will always stay in their Everyday clothing. 🤨 But when the thermometer shows a more extreme cold or hot temperature, they usually will change clothing. 😉 So, I think (at least for me) that I was seeing the temperature as cold or hot when it was really just cool or warm. 😳 This probably counts for at least some of the times our Sims aren't changing into their cold or hot weather clothing. 😉

@jmeadowbrook -- Unfortunately I have never bought any of those weather-related rewards for any of my sims, so I can't offer any confirmation of that possibly being a reason in my case.
@PugLove888 -- I was noticing some quite a few times when sims were quite distressed yet did not change to the winter clothes (and where I even got the '______ is freezing to death' warning, etc... And where I would make them change to the appropriate clothing and as soon as they showered, exercised, etc., I was back where I started from...
Unfortunately I have not been noticing much either way recently since I have been mostly building then briefly testing... plus I ticked the box (in settings) to reduce effects of weather on my sims. It was too distressing the way this was happening. When they adjust it I'd love to know so I can untick that box. I don't trust it currently. I am a bit freaked out by blue sims (freezing, not aliens 😉 ) and them possibly dying from this.
