  • The most surreal thing in this thread is people considering 10k bills a completely normal thing to aspire to go back to.

    That in itself is already outrageous.

    If you follow the method Maxis is calculating the bills, than 9.600 for my 278.000 household is right. That doesn´t mean that I find it "normal". But 90k bills for this household is a bug, and that is what´s not normal and I don´t like ;)

    Which means that it isn't a thermostat.
    A thermostat you set at the temperature you want, and if it is cooler or warmer than that it compensates. Which also means that you never should have to set it for "hot or cold" to "compensate" for outdoor temperatures.


    But you only set it on when you feel cold or warm in your house!?

    The whole thermostat is wired, first point is, we didn´t know what temperature is inside the houses. We know it, when the Sims will tell it us.
    Accepted Maxis said "the temp is the same everywhere, outside and inside". Therefor we didn´t know an exact degree, than you only have the option colder or warmer. That´s the way I understand it.
