Coats in doors!

It drives me crazy seeing sims indoors with their coats on during fall and winter and it got me wondering how everybody else deals with it. Do you just live with the coats in doors or do you have some kind of work around? So far in my game I've been setting two outfits for cold weather the main one a coat and the second one a warm looking sweater but I'm finding it really tiresome always telling my sims to change into the correct outfits. I'm actually considering just not using coats for my sims anymore. I wish it worked like it did the the Sims 2. I remember they would change automatically when they went indoors.

Obviously the ideal choice is to use the thermostat but sadly a lot of my sims can't afford it since it makes the bills triple.

    I'm a bit ocd so I always outfit them with one really cold outdoor coat, hat, mittens etc for when it's snowing, then one slightly warmer one with coat but no hat and gloves for when it's cold but not snowing, then the remaining slots are filled with warm indoor outfits for when it's cold in the house. So I make them change according to the situation.

    I don't mind doing this. What does bug me is my teens going off to high school in their pyjamas and bare feet.


    Or my teens, especially the one girl, who wears her spaghetti strap sun dress out in the frigid air!
  • Well, you guys, the modder LittleMsSam has made a mod that fixes this dressing issue.

    What are these specifically called? I can find the auto thermostat but I have a hard time finding the "automatic change out of outdoors wear" mod

    I do the same, even though I always have thermostats.

    I basically fill up my everyday outfit slot with outfits that look like autumn and spring outfits (e.g., longer sleeves and pants, but lightweight), my summer slots of course with summery outfits, and then my cold weather slots with one coat/true outdoor ensemble, and then fill the rest of the cold weather slots with sweater + warm pants combos. Then I always have lots of options to manually change into whatever seems most appropriate.
