Thanks @powers6180 and @Hermitgirl

Does anyone know if the radiator works by keeping sims warm? I know it was only deco before but I'm sure I read somewhere that they updated it. It would have been awesome also if we could use the fan from GTW to keep cool.

The ones that came in Vampire do not work, one of the SimGurus said it on twitter

@CrystalAbyss1 thank you for letting me know <3

That is a real shame though.

Thankfully my sims haven't touched the thermostat once. My sims only have $300 worth of simoleons right now... they're pretty poor lol. Fall is on its way though, so I guess they'll be bundling up.

those outdoor heaters work inside and can be set for automatic, so there not on all the time. they usually come on in the evening. and my sims have been fine, no complaining of being cold and no thermostat. still waiting for the bills.

My bill was 70k. I completely forgot that I used the thermostat. Maybe my sims should start carrying blankets :lol:

But It’ll look so out of place in my home :'(

I’ll just keep it off for now, it doesn’t seem to make a difference, Sims still stay in their outdoors clothing, was hoping they’d switch back to their everyday

My bills haven't been too bad (yet >:) ). I started a new save with a new build a one storey two bedroom two bath furnished with mostly Seasons assets and my bills have been around 1600 - 1800. I've left the thermostat on all the time on warm during Spring. Added on a upstairs portion of the house last time I was in game and the bills went to 2200. I love this feature! This needs to be kept!!!

I am really loving this. It make sense for them to be a bit higher if you have a fully decked out lavish home. Makes the game play a bit more fun for my sims to "struggle" in going out into the world trying to find ways to pay their bills. I dislike the loading screens so having higher bills will more likely make me travel with my sims to sell items, or try to get collectables

After one week of moving in and not using the thermostat much the bills were just over 3,000, which is reasonable for the size of the house. After the 2nd week, using the thermostat a lot more the bills went up to just over 8,000.
I like this feature.
I've decided not to use the thermostat if it's warm or cool; only for hot, heatwave, cold or freezing.

The heat lamps from Dine Out do keep sims warm, but the Vampire GP radiators do not. Also, if you switch to your summer/winter outfits, your sims don't need a thermostat at all.
