Snow Angels in My Underwear
cwieberdink:
Shouldn't it make me cold?
I'm just starting to really play around with seasons stuff and the thermometer for sims. I never really noticed how much temperature affected them until I started doing the ghetto challenge and my sim was unprotected from the elements. It's the first time I saw heatstroke. Since she was ghetto, with no roof yet, she had no way of cooling off and she was hot all the time. So, I went to a winter lot and had my selfsim run outside in the snow in her underwear. I wanted to see the freeze animation. Well, she spent several sim hours making snow angels and snowmen and was only to the point of shivering! Shouldn't sims get cold almost immediately when they go outside in their unders? There was thick snow, it was middle of winter (I did not check the outside temp -- is there a way to do that besides "read the forecast" in the newspaper?)
Most of my sims go outside in outerwear, so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take for them to get really cold. I didn't even see her turn blue.

Thanks, Emma! I did actually search for "temperature" (no results) "more realistic cold" and "freeze sim how long" and I wasn't getting anything good.
ETA: I have warmth fixes, but is it supposed to fix cold too? I did RTFM and the only cold reference is for zombies turning blue. There is a hack at MTS2 for colder temps, maybe I need to snag that, but still, I think temp should begin to drop FAST when a sim is in undies or naked in the snow.
Ellatrue:
You can check the temperature with the lot debugger. Unfortunately, the clothing your sim is wearing doesn't always make a difference as far as controlling their temperature goes--it's usually very slight. Also, it doesn't have to be that cold to snow.
If I were you, I'd work on getting a closet for the winter ASAP.
I'd like to see the sims automatically change into outerwear when there is snow outside, regardless of temperature. It just looks odd when they run out in their undies/pajamas.

Simlogical has air conditioners that can moderate sim temperatures.
