I still think there's a chance of it happening in vanilla. I think it's random bad luck for a sim that is jogging when a blizzard kicks in so they are caught in their athletic wear, and then they start slipping nonstop and stopping to do pushups or shovel snow, hahaha. Mods just probably exacerbate things. If the mod changes base behaviours the sims might stand around computing their next action for even longer, making a freezing outcome more likely. I think it's fine as it stands. Most players won't ever run enough mods to see a marked increase in deaths. Just like abductions though, some folks will get lucky and see lots of freezing... or is that unlucky? =)

I don't disagree with you. I just don't want it to get to a point where weather deaths are nerfed altogether like alien abductions were. I was getting so sick and tired of the lack of spontaneity and unpredictability in this game, now we finally have something that gives it to us in spades and I am afraid that a handful of complaints is going to take us backwards into the land of ho hum, everything is fine, because everything is always fine. I finally have a little adrenaline pumping when I play and a genuine need to strategize and plan ahead and I don't want to lose it. I am loving the mild element of danger this pack has finally provided.
