I don't know who did the tagging for cold weather, but there are SOOO many outfits in the game I've noticed that are hidden from cold weather like many sweaters/jackets. Almost all of the sweaters, hoodies and jackets should be cold weather tagged, but they're not. I wind up just removing the tag so I can have more options, but my townies look the same over and over. Here's some visual examples of cold weather outfits I made that aren't tagged in the game. I seriously didn't want to flood this thread with pictures or anything, so I only took three examples for each gender, but trust me, there's tons more.

I agree! It’s a weird omission. Is it like the hot weather clothes in the sense if they are wearing something not from the assigned category they complain of overheating? (That’s silly as well come to think of it)

(That’s silly as well come to think of it)You could technically make sims wear a bikini if you wanted in their cold outfit and it'd protect them still. Same with heat, you could do a coat and they'd be fine. If anything else is happening that sounds like a bug. It's just frustrating having to dig for all of these clothes and having townies wear the same 5 coats over and over.

Removing the tag does not affect the ability to protect them from the weather, at least from my experience. I don't use the tags when dressing my sims for hot or cold weather and it works just fine. Could be a bug.

At first I was like, okay, maybe they only give the cold tag to clothes that look like you can wear them in a blizzard, which most of the depicted outfits don't. But even with that in mind, I've come across some jackets and other tops where I couldn't understand why they weren't included. I usually give my sims at least two cold outfits, one for going outside in winter, one for when it's chilly at home, so removing the cold tag is usually one of the first things I do when I create the cold home outfit.Also..."Zeldaboy180;d-954635" wrote:https://i.gyazo.com/cf9ce1ffa2b779b555d09af29feefffa.pngI've never even seen that outfit. Can you tell me which expansion it's from?"Missimay94;c-16927211" wrote:So your saying you can choose what clothes you want and it still protects them ?Yes. Anything you put on them in the cold weather category will keep them warm, whereas anything you put on them in any other category won't, so you can technically wear jackets and scarves in summer and a bikini in winter if you so desire.

@Zeldaboy180 Personally I wish all but the first wasn't! The first can be worn with leggings or stockings (as one does). And where I live, with regularly cold and snowy winter, wearing just a hoodie is not a usual thing at all. Not when it's well below freezing. Anyway, you can put your Sims in CAS in any outfit under "Cold" and it will work as a cold outfit. What the tag determines is what Sims generate wearing, and I'd rather that read as outdoor winter wear, personally. Hoodies just don't.

The game doesn't use "Cold Weather" for anything but going outside when it's cold. Those aren't outfits I want to see Sims not freezing in unless I've chosen to make it so, which works for anything I override the tag for and place in a Sim's cold weather slot.

@luthienrising One of the coldest winters in a long time here, with temperature's reaching down to 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit and up to a foot of snow and I haven't worn anything except a light hoodie once.

Honestly it's usually the wind chill that requires warmer clothes.

Also, I got maybe the blizzard argument, but how do you explain these then? (They're tagged as cold weather) These are no different than the sweaters/hoodies I've shown in my pictures, yet these are tagged as cold weather. The freezing argument doesn't really apply.

@GrumpyGlowfish It is a dress from Get Famous, but she's wearing leggings.

I agree! Hopefully at some point they'll improve the tagging for all the paid content in the game. I can't see it taking too long, but then again I know nothing about programming. (I tried to learn once. Let's just say I think I should stick with other things I can do)

I would like more options for cold weather but not sure if all of the suggestions would work. A lot of the (women) clothing are too open around the neck or have 3/4 sleeves which would absolutely not work where I'm from. Skirts are fine with leggings, I'm more worried about the neck and arms. I find that there are just too few cold weather options overall, especially for women.

I love scarves in real life, and I've often wished I had them for my Sims, for this very reason. I just cringe at the bare neck in some of the cold weather outfits.

I completely agree. There are many clothes that should have the cold weather tag.

I change the hot and especially cold weather outfits from the defaults a fair bit.
