If it is not hot it should be set to normal not cold. If you have an AC unit in real life you would not have it on if it was only 20-22C even though it is summer.
And if I play a family in summer when it's hot outside, then stops and the game throws me into the family in winter when it's cold? Then the AC will be set to "Cold".
With all respect (Mr?), my English might not be very good but I consider it to be decent at least. But I almost get the feeling that you want to misinterpret my posts from time to time or focus on something different then me. I don't know why it's so but that's a rabbit hole I don't want to go down.
Hi, @Mrsimalot
I'm a rotational player, too, and I know exactly what you mean about the thermostat. You play the family in summer, you set the thermostat to cool because it's summer and hot, you play, you rotate out of the household. The next time you play the household it's winter and they're all complaining that it's "morgue-like."
I use LittleMsSam's Automatic Thermostat mod for this. Otherwise I have to immediately update the thermostat every time I rotate into a household, and that gets old.
Er, as to your other points about Neighborhood Stories, you can disable accidental death, or Neighborhood Stories altogether... I like the feature, but I do understand that not everyone does...

Yeah, the thermostat is tricky. The sim who got turned into ice recently was unattended but before this massive update I did lose a sim just because I did open the lot in winter and it was set to cold. That was my fault and she were also saved in the end. Now, I will play test this updated game for a while but eventually I will turn the weather effects on again. Because I do find it boring that they won't change the clothing. (Maybe they do, but I did not see it happen - they were all in everyday wear).
Yes, I have been disabled Neighborhood stories from the main menu. I'm a "control freak" (or "overprotecting" if you so like) and want to know that my sims are safe and don't do anything stupid. If they do move around to places or other sims then it's OK. I can also live with them interacting with other sims. Everything else is my "ballgame". If anyone enjoys playing with NS on it's their decision. All respect to that.
