Please describe the patch or change you made. December 12, 2019 patch

This is slightly related to another issue, but that one happens when the Sims are on vacation.  This happens consistently while the Sims are at home.  When they take a shower, shouldn't these Sims change into the clothing appropriate for the weather?  I have to manually change their clothes.  Haven't gotten to Winter yet, so I don't know what will happen during that season. 

There are 8 Sims in this house, including a toddler; none of them change, but will display the 'hot' moodlet until I manually change their clothing.  I did have a few thermostat mods, but took them out temporarily to see what would happen.  Tried running for a while, Sims showering with and without the EA thermostat.  Still don't automatically change clothes according to weather.  There is some kind of update sitting in the Origin panel, but I don't know if it's for the game or for Origin.

  • @KingRayVeteran Do they change when they go outside ? I don't think they automatically change inside the house (never have) only when you go outside.

    @crinrict I'll check, but before the patch, they did change inside ... during winter. Put their winter clothes on when they thought it was cold inside the house and it sure did look strange! LOL

    @crinrictAlright, yes, they'll change outside, but before the patch, my Sims were changing into Winter clothes before going outside. Just because it was cold in the house. Didn't notice Summer and it does have to be 'Hot' not 'Warm'. I dunno, maybe they need to work on that, because it's inconsistent.  I'll have to watch and see what happens in Winter.  BTW, there are only 7 Sims in the house; don't know why I counted 8 in my head.

    @KingRayVeteran I'm really not sure what should be happening and what's by design.

    I'm moving this to game discussion for now to see what's other people's opinion on this.
