Seasons and Rotational Play

I haven't gotten a chance to play Seasons much yet but I found it difficult to choose which save game I wanted to test seasons with since most of them I'm a pretty controlling rotational player.
I feel like seasons will have a significant impact on rotational play. Normally I like to play one household for a week, from Sunday to Sunday but I feel like I'm going to need to restrategize.

I think my biggest concern is winter. I don't want to have to set all my played sims hot/cold weather clothes until I actually play that sim/household. Can currently uncontrolled played sims freeze to death while you are playing another household? In other words; if I'm currently playing X and run into Y from another played household at the park during a blizzard...can Y freeze to death since I can't currently control him/her?

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has experienced any interesting ways that seasons have effected your rotational play. I'm thinking gardening will be a little trickier now and having all your households experience the different seasons & holidays, etc.

To answer your question about uncontrolled Sims freezing to death.,.yes, they can.

I posted this same story on another thread yesterday, but I decided to throw an outdoor toddler play date during a heat wave. Some of the parents changed into their (hilarious) hot weather outfits, but not all of them. About 2 hours in, they started dropping so fast Grimmy couldn’t keep up.

(For what it’s worth, once I reloaded I tried again but used a different lot; one that has a building on it so they could go inside. This time everyone changed or showed up in the right outfit.)
