[HSY] [S] Sims freeze (to death) during winter

Hi Tzyirek 

Is this with or without mods/cc ? What platform are you playing on ?Please always provide this information so not to delay a bug report getting to Maxis. You can find more info about the adding thread tags to your post here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - 4965007 

Hi Tzyirek 

Is the high school the only place you have freezing issues ? Could you please add the asked information to your post ? 

This is probably due to the problem of weather events occurring indoors. Which is already open as a bug. The game sees everything outdoors now, except basements. Sims can get struck by lightning as well and if they have the indoors/outdoors lifestyle ( snowy escape) you will see that the game marks them outdoors when indoors. 

Hi DarkSimzzz 

There is an old bug where this is happening in dorms so that's why I'm asking. There's also threads for the thermostat not working properly (although this isn't the case here)

All of these predate the weather issue.

I currently play with mods, but in the original high school. In winter my teen wears the cold outfit inside. If I change her outfit or she does a workout and changes it for herself she starts to get very cold and I get the freezing to death notif.  

Hi rdorka347 

Is high school the only lot type you have issues with ?

All issues in the bug forum must be tested on a vanilla game.

To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder.

- localthumbcache
- Any lastException Files
- Any LastCrash files.

Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

Hi crinrict 

Sorry for the late response, but I can only play in weekends.

No it is not olnly the high school it happens in the spa too when they are doing meditation or yoga, which requires them to be in their athletic outfit. The chilled buff disappears the moment they change into the bathrobe. I tested the this and the high school too in vanilla game the way you said. Freezing did not occure this time, but the chilled buff was present in the high shcool while wearing the everyday outfit.

I made some pictures too.

IIRC, if you put a thermostat somewhere on the lot you need to make sure that's on warm but if you don't have one, the temperature shouldn't affect Sims indoors.

I know some say they have the moodlet and it's related to the weather effects showing inside but I'm not convinced that's all that's going on, especially since there's reports from before. I also think that it would affect everyone if it was related but only a few people are reporting the moodlets (haven't had any personally) and it should affect lots.

Do you have it for example on your home lot ?

I do not have thermostat in the school or in the spa. I however have the thermostat at my home lot, so there are no cold moodlets if it is on. I always put a thermostat down in the home lots, becuse if I do not then they get the moodlet.
