Cold weather clothing indoors

Incidentally, I have noticed that my sims will mostly change into their cold weather clothes when going outside, but not if they are carrying something; for example, if they are taking out garbage, or hanging out the washing. Then they keep the same clothes on. I have to watch them really carefully, because they will persist in hanging out washing on the clothesline, even when it is snowing, if I don't catch them first and make them use the dryer. Silly things!

Also, there seem to be an issue with other clothes than "everyday", just like with club uniforms. If my sims say are wearing gym clothes or swimwear, they don't switch to cold clothes when going outside. They only switch automatically if in everyday.

For any of you who don't mind mod-fixes, there's a mod for this now: Change into Everyday when inside, in http://littlemssam.de/random-small-mods/ It only changes them if they were in Cold clothes. I presume you can still change them back if you want to for reasons :)

I don't mind summer clothes indoors, as even with air conditioning I don't change when I come in from the heat in the summer. But in the winter? Yeah, I take my jacket off.

It’s annoying to keep switching outfits of 8 sims multiple times. I hope they’ll fix it, because I already have too many mods to correct annoying behaviors.

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, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. I even have the thermostat on.

Mine is doing this too. She just **had** to run outside to paint on an easel that was somewhere off in the distance (a park, I guess?). I stopped her from doing that and sent her home and she continued to wear her "cold weather" outfit in the house. They do have a thermostat, but it wasn't on. I did have the fireplace going so I don't understand why she didn't change back into her everyday outfit once back inside.

This is the reason why I hated them adding more clothing categories. There always seems to be a problem with it. Even in previous games like the Sims 2 with outdoor clothing. Or was it Sims 3? Whichever it was my sim randomly just stopped changing into the outdoor clothing at one point and never did again.

I've noticed that 'problem' on the livestream. If it's not a bug, but something by design, it was a pretty odd decision on their side.
