My sims seem to be in love with fireplaces.
I noticed that ever since the last update, all my sims will try to light on every fireplace they have and warm up there. I find it funny since I don't even own seasons, so as far as I know this isn't...

I didn't notice any difference because I do have seasons and the few fireplaces my Sims households have, are on automatic. They will switch on as soon as a Sim is in the room and off when they leave it.
A fireplace gives your Sims an extra positive mood. Being near a fireplace can enhance their wellbeing even in summer (and even when you don't have seasons) You can also enhance the fireplace itself by installing the extra gadget ('automatic')
Have fun playing. 😉
- @Trismagistos I have upgraded fireplaces that auto light, but my sims sometimes get obsessed walking from room to room lighting them, even though the heating is on. It's super annoying. I hope there is a fix for this.
@Gednaa It is a long time since i let my sims use the thermostat. It is quite costly and it doesn't fit in the ecological gameplay I tend to use. But I do understand it can be annoying. I use the automatic lights so i can see if and when a Sim is in a specific room. Very handy when you play a household of 8 Sims, pets included. The only way to fix this automatic lighting of your fireplaces is to turn the automatic lighting off again. You will miss this extra positive mood but you will gain some peace of mind. 😊

- @Trismagistos Agreed! it's not very Eco. I don't have the Eco pack and we can afford the bills. I've removed a few fireplaces and just kept the main lounge one, which is where they all seem to like to gather anyway. It is funny watching them walking round the house lighting each fireplace over and over. I had to just remove the fireplaces. In fact I got a smaller house to put on pinnacle point so that it would be warmer with one fireplace.
