Freezing to Death

Ugh I'm surprised this is still an issue :( How dumb. Sorry to hear you've had to deal with that :( I know it's so dumb that they don't change their clothes when they come inside from certain weather. Like come on take your winter gear off in house! I also hate traveling somewhere and see NPCs around in the wrong weather gear. I avoid any events during winter because I don't want to see or trigger dumb NPC deaths. I don't want to shut off the thing where Sims don't get influenced by the weather because where is the fun in that? But everyone dying because of a BIG oversight is no fun :(

Well if you're admittedly going to beat a dead horse, you may as well do it in the right place. The AHQ thread for this only has two people claiming to have this issue. I have not personally seen it ever since the patch where they said they fixed it.

You're allowed to do as you please, I'm just redirecting you to the only place where bug complaints even slightly matter. It's not helping very much that only two people have reported the bug.

If any of my sims froze to death, I would be tempted to quit playing the game. One way to avoid this is purchasing "acclimated to cold" or something like that in the trait reward store. What really bothers me is how without that trait, they have to wear winter coats in the house. Toddlers can't earn rewards points, so they're not protected with this trait. Seriously, who walks around their house all day in their winter gear? I hope they change/fix that.

Yeah I know you can turn the weather affects off, but I don't want to. And I agree, there are many things lacking in game, and while I don't mind a random townie dropping dead. Since I play in rotation, I don't want my played sims freezing to death when I'm playing another house. I do roll ROS so I have events that do happen, and "untimely" deaths as well. But that's by my hands. lol

Okay, so, you don't want your Sims to die in your game from extreme weather, and you can literally turn it off for yourself but, you reject that out of hand and want the devs to turn it off for everyone via a path? It doesn't even make any sense.

Hmmmm.... never said that. So please don't put words in my mouth. Thanks! Instead of assuming what someone said or meant, why not just ask them to clarify their statement before jumping to conclusions?

Never have I ever wanted to devs to take away a feature in the game.

What needs to be improved is the sims AI. So that they can recognize when they are cold or about to freeze, so that they will switch out of their workout wear and into their winter wear.

@Cupid, guess you're a lucky one. Me, not so much. Honestly, this issue hasn't been fixed for me at all. And I know it's not mods either, since I've played a vanilla game and still getting the same thing. So since this is the feedback section am I not allowed to post my feedback here? *seriously, is confused lol*

Also, anyone else having this issue still I did find a mod that will (hopefully) address the issue until we (hopefully) get a fix for it: Sims change outfit when hot or cold: https://www.deichschafblog.de/s4/mods-fuer-jahreszeiten/, it's a bit down on the page but I just plopped it into my game. Hoping that it works!

If it’s any help to you, in the settings you can turn weather effects on sims off. No more freezing to death!

Cool! I'll post over there as well. And there seems to be quit a few who are still having this issue. I also reported my issue to the gurus on twitter a few months ago. Also, side note. After the most recent patch, when I load up my game and come to the main loading screen. I get a pop up saying that there is no cd located. Yet I have a digital copy. Has that happened to anyone else?

Yup, I can use that option, but the fact is I thought sims were supposed to be smart enough to know that they are cold, switch into winter clothing. lol I guess in my game they aren't.
