Cold weather clothing indoors

I am not sure if this is a bug or not, but whenever my sims have changed into Cold Weather clothes to go out when it is cold, they do not automatically change back to Everyday when going indoors. So unless I tell them myself to change clothes, they can sit around the dinner table or watch TV in their thick jackets and hats all day.
Anyone else got this problem?

  • Mine do this too, or they will use an umbrella inside when it's raining outside. I've even had one change into her swimsuit in the dead of winter to shovel the side of the house. oO

    Noticed that too. Hope they will fix this in the next patch.

    I have a mod installed that is supposedly fixing this but I am going to remove it because it causes other problems instead. Also, I am not sure what problems are vanilla bugs and what are caused by the mod trying to fix those bugs:

    1. If it is cold outside, Sims often (even though thermostat is turned on Hot) switch into Cold clothing when waking up. Indoors. But as soon as they start an activity they change. A typical example: Sim wakes up, switches to Cold clothes, walks down to the kitchen, and when triggering "grab leftover", he changes clothes to normal.
    2. The above behavior causes near-deaths, because they also change to normal outfits when starting an activity outdoors, like BBQ-ing. Standing in the snow, then changing to every day wear to start grilling. In the snow.
    3. I have a lazy sim in my household and the floor is COVERED by cloth piles because of this.

    I will remove the mod and see if things improve.


    Same here! I had the mod you speak of and it just made things more complex. *crosses fingers for fix tomorrow*
  • This doesn't bother me to be honest as I'm used to this in real life. Where I live people normally keep their coats on indoors if it's cold.
  • ...One would think that playtesting the clothes-switching would be stupidly easy, since you notice that wihtin 10 seconds of playing Winter. (I don't mind them in Hot clothing during summer, indoors. After all, it's not that much less than what I wear when home (sweatpants and no top? sure. Who cares?)
  • I dread to think how much more laundry sims would have to do if they also changed back to normal clothing while going back indoors too...
