Raincoats -- am I missing something?

Seasons was released while I was out of town, so I'm only just now getting to play with it, but there's one thing I can't seem to figure out. Maybe I have a mod installed that is giving me issues, but how exactly does one handle rainwear? My sim that's been outside hasn't put on a raincoat automatically (and as a result is complaining about being wet) -- do I need to manually put one on every single time a sim goes outside when it's raining?! And where does one set the outfit(s) to be worn as rainwear? Right now I have them under Hot Weather, but they aren't available by default, and you need to remove the Hot Weather filter in order to find the raincoats. But I see no Outdoor/Rainwear category. And with them as HW, when I click on my sim to switch outfits.... they don't change their outfit to the raincoats!

Seriously, am I missing something obvious?

    Yeah it's visual only. The outfits are mapped to the temperatures ie. Cold, hot, etc.

    Yea, it'd be cool if there was a feature like, say, ponchos or just a general looking raincoat in varied color options similar to how you select an umbrella and could be applied automatically for outdoor activities, could layer over or replace the current outfit visuals and sims could just automatically switch back once inside. Would be particularly useful for kids as I have a lot of kids in my household who like to play outside automatically regardless of the weather and most outside play activities don't use the umbrella (the umbrella gets really annoying when its just a bunch of kids playing around on monkeybars and such and umbrellas constantly opening and closing and opening and closing...).

    I do wish the raincoats were for more than just visuals. I end up using a lot of the child and toddler raincoats as winter coats more often than actually for the rain. I mean, I like that they can function as either, but it would be nice for rainwear to actually have a purpose.
