Edit to add: He has also frozen to death which is both annoying and ironic so I think thats a bug as well........you can see that in the 3rd pic.So there has been one thing about Seasons that has been bugging me A LOT when I play. I started noticing Father Winter appearing in every season and at random community lots. I also started seeing him in random attire. Then when I went into the map I noticed he had moved himself in to one of the vacant homes in Windenberg. This only seems to occur with him, as the Spring Bunny really only appears in spring and I never see him roaming around in every season. This leads me to believe this is a bug (I will also post this in the bug section with more detail.**I wanted to post this here because this screenshot made my anger melt away and it just made me laugh. I thought it would make some of you smile. **Here is father winter in FALL wearing a very summer outfit with zinc on his nose and everything lol.......he just spawned like this. He did manage to keep his signature Father Winter hat on however :D .https://i.imgur.com/5ZAxzHq.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/6Rbaj6v.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/5lzF3QB.png

That does actually look like something Father Winter would wear in the summer. :D

I had him come visit one of my families in summer dressed like that.

Father Winter is a premade, not just an NPC. He'll walk about like any other townie, because he is one. That outfit is just his 'hot' wear. He probably moved into a house because you've allowed the game to place townies into vacant lots.

Lol I noticed this as well. It was summer in San Myshuno. I guess Santa likes basketball?:

Well under that theory so is the bunny and the other NPCs (the bunny is literally just coded as an NPC wearing an "outfit" and yet you do not see the bunny spawning everywhere. It breaks immersion A LOT and don't think it was intended.

I know that its why the "bug" is occurring, but there are ways to stop that for certain "special" NPCs.......it should not be hard to put that parameter in the code either. May hop into the code later with my husband and see.

The bunny does this too. She is always walking around my Sims' house since I had the easter holiday I created.
