Odd things I noticed about Seasons

This one isn't a bug, but I thought it was interesting: I put a roller skating rink in the yard of one of my houses and sent a kid out to skate. He was out there for hours, but I didn't think anything of it until a message popped up indicating that the kid was getting too hot, and if I didn't cool him down, I might get a visit from the social worker. So can we gather from this that exercise causes Sims' body temperature to go up? It was springtime on this lot when it happened, so I wasn't expecting any heat-related problems.
That's funny that you should mention that. One of my sim kids decided to go to the ever popular jumping on the bed for hours (shouldn't the springs break at some point?) - ANYway... I also got the message stating the my sim kid was over heated...
Oh well.

I've heard that kids can break the bed from jumping on it, but I've never seen it.

I noticed two odd things about Seasons today.
Fishing unsticks smart milk. To be more accurate, the smart milk becomes unstuck when the sim stops fishing. I would have thought you'd have to be dumbed down to stick a fishing rod up your butt, but no it's the other way round. It's the sim placing the fishing rod in that location that apparently causes them to lose intelligence. Maybe sims brains are in their butts ;)
I'd noticed simkids were less intelligent after fishing, so I sent a supernuked child fishing (after she'd finished almost maxing out her skills) and tested her IQ. She stayed supernuked until the moment I cancelled the fishing command. Once she'd stopped fishing her IQ dropped to 100. So now I know not to send the kids fishing until they're one cleaning skill point away from maxed out skills.
The other oddity I noticed was to do with the skating rink. Earlier, I had the same simkid training her body on the skating rink as watching her read from the education bookcase wasn't that interesting. She was overheating, suggesting that it was exercise, but her fitness level wasn't rising. I was hoping that since they do get hot while skating that it was enough of a workout to nudge her fitness level at least slightly. Sadly, no. I'll have to make her work out on the exercise machine when she's older to get her fit.

Hmmm... I'm positive that I've had Sims gain skill points from the skating rink. And Prima says that they're supposed to. So you get skills, but no fitness increase? ::)

Hmm, so the athlete career reward is the only object that children can use to gain both body and fitness?
