Wearing a bathing suit or summer clothes is a point toward cold. Stuff like that. Meaning you can go outside on a hot day in your swim suit after drinking a cold drink, then run through the sprinklers, and start freezing to death.

> IMO, there should be more states. Like warm, hot, really hot, etc, before you get to the ABOUT TO DIE levels of heat. And you can die, especially since Sims aren't auto programmed to fix their temperature needs and its not very clear about what does what. My own story; My sim came in from outside during winter, wearing winter clothes. Turned up the heater, made a pot of tea. Couldnt put the tea into the fridge so I poured a cup, put the cup in the fridge. Poured a second cup, put it in the fridge, drank the third and final cup. Then I was burning to death according to the +99 uncomfortable moodlet. Tried taking a bath, nope. Took a shower, nope. Googled it, figured out I had to drink a glass of water. It worked, tho the moodlet doesnt mention anything about a glass of water.

No need to be sorry, thanks! If I get Seasons before they patch it that's definitely helpful to know. Hopefully they will patch it soon though, because I think you're right about needing more temperature stages. Where I originally come from (Melbourne, Aus) is infamous for having 4 seasons in one day. Sims would be like 'hot, confused, cold, confused, heat stroke, freezing to death' :D

Every now and then i delete the entire mod folder and start over. I feel like it's the cc hunting that's like half the fun for me.

I'd like to offer some tips for those who aren't very good at organizing:

• Allow tons of subfolders in your resource.cfg file. Doesn't matter if you think you'll never use them, having more than necessary is always going to be better than burying something too deep and working yourself into a frenzy trying to figure out why it won't work.
  
• Actually use subfolders. Everything except script mods can be as many folders deep as you want it to be. I have dozens of clearly labeled folders in my mods folder so that I know where to find everything, in case I ever want to delete or modify one specific piece of content. I have one folder for each category in Create-A-Sim, and for each sub-category within those categories. I also have one folder for each room in Build/Buy mode, and one folder for each item type within those rooms.
  
• RENAME THE FILES. Include the author's USERNAME (not their preferred handle) and the name the mod/CC is titled wherever you found it from. This is so that, in the future, when, not if, when the game updates and inevitably breaks your CC, you know exactly what to look up to find it again, so that you can update it. I label everything as "Username - Mod_Name.package."
  
• Put script mods in their own folder. I personally find that putting all my script mods into one folder gets confusing. Therefore, since script mods can only be one folder deep within the Mods folder, I recommend putting each into their own folder named with the above-mentioned naming scheme; Username - Mod_Name. (I'd also advise this for Tuning mods, but it's less necessary for them.)
  

These are just the methods I use to keep my Mods and CC organized. They aren't any kind of standard, but I figure some people might be able to benefit from them, so I may as well share them.

@Zasz nope, but I guess great minds think alike :tongue:

I have almost 2,000 Build/Buy items alone and I keep putting it off. Like, I'll... organize this later. But I keep downloading new custom lots that require *new* CC (because I absolutely refuse to buy all the stuff packs).

My other downloads are organized into 25 super specific folders. So, for example, there's a folder called "Shoes, Male" and "Shoes, Female." And in the "Shoes, Female" folder, there's more folders called "Heels", "Boots", etc. So that, if one of my girl's shoes start acting up, I only have to go through 50 files instead of 100+ files in a general Shoe folder.

But for Build/Buy stuff I literally just have one folder called "Objects." I don't know how I ended up getting 2,000 items in that folder, because I don't even build things and rarely do I have the patience to decorate someone's room.
