Wow, guess it was that third cup. From looking at the bars in the needs, it doesn't show his energy dropping so my guess is a bug. :#

Didn't think drinking hot drinks back to back would cause sims to burn to death. What a way to go because you were thirsty. :/

Do you have any fireplaces in the apartment?
Try having your sim wear hot weather clothing untill the moodlet goes away.

Only fire place is upstairs in the bedroom and its off. The sim didn't have an uncomfortable moodlet about the heat until he started drinking coffee. I had him stop drinking it and drink some water to relieve it, but its weird that they can get it and the weather isn't even hot outside.

Seems like a bug a nasty one. I had this too with the festival teas and normal ones from the the tea stands. Drink one and you're ok drink two and your sim getting uncomfortable and drink tree your sim will out too die until you let them drink water. Seems a bug too the hot drink which schould make your sims warm in cold weather.

My merry-widow/gold-digger sim needs to kill off one of her future husbands with coffee, oh my yes. It's winter in my game atm; I hope I can get around to a coffee-cide before they fix this! >:)

So far she's been perfectly innocent of all these deaths...but with the coffee-death, maybe I should pretend it's arsenic. Yeah, I'm gonna pretend her boyfriend/gardener/masseuse put a little something in the coffee. :o

Well, least this seems to be helpful for someone. :#

My sim wanted to drink coffee back to back rather than go to bed when suffering from energy failure. That third cup starts to get lethal.

I am thinking of putting a fireplace and a coffee maker in my ..umm.. holding cells. Hehehe..

:* I take no responsibility for any sims that suffer or die from this thread.

Did you have the thermostat set to warm? I sometimes forget to change it. It could be that plus his clothing. Even if he had his shirt is off, (in pjs, for example,) the game thinks the clothing is hot unless you change to the appropriate category.


I'm curious because I've had sims drink all day & night and never saw this.

There's no thermostat in this sims apartment. Mostly due to very high bills though it doesn't affect the apartment rent I never got around to adding one in this apartment. I thought it was odd, since it was only sunny and cool.

That's odd. By the way, I also believed that the thermostat had no affect on apartments but it does. When my sim was in a tiny apartment, her rent didn't change, but then I moved her into the apartment that comes with free maid service. Weekly rent is supposed to be $5,000 but she's been paying approximately $12,000 a week. I don't know if it was patched in or what.

There is apartments that give free maid service? I need to play with them more it seems

Hopefully replying to a thread from four months ago isnt considered "necroing" it but yea... just happened to me too and didnt know what the heck was going on. I decided to buy a tea pot for the mood bonuses. Noticed a pot of tea only lasted 10 hours and decided to put it in the fridge. It wouldnt let me, so I decided to put the cups of tea in the fridge instead. First cup of tea in the fridge, didnt even drink it. Second cup of tea in the fridge, didnt drink it either. I drank the third and final cup of tea, and then immediately noticed instead of being happy I was BURNING TO DEATH! Not knowing what was happening I decided to take a bath, didn't help.

Paused the game, came here. Saw the advice to drink some water out of the sink and that fixed it.

This is a rather serious bug, I'm surprised its been in the game since July and still nothing has been done about it. As I said I didnt even drink the tea which makes it that much worse. But tea/coffee etc shouldnt kill you anyway. :neutral:

Wow... just wow. Guess the devs arent looking at the forums so I should try sending a bug report.
