Seasons outdoor clothing change: Automatic or not, that is the question?!
Nadira:
Szenario: Two players (A+B), two PC, same room, both start playing after complete new installation (all EPs including Seasons, Glamour, no FFS), both have same custom content, both have NO hacks on. Both playing in new seasons neighbourhood the same premade household for testing, both start in winter.
A: Day 1 automatic cloth change every time Sim is leaving/entering house. On day 2 suddenly automatic cloth change disappears and cannot be provoced again. Sims walk out in hard winter in indoor clothes, and it takes them ages for feeling cold (one Sim being fishing for hours was still in the normal green temperature range).
B: Automatic cloth change still active on day 4. Player wanted to make them go out in everydayclothes, since he now arrived in spring (and sometimes the Sims get very hot when active in oudoorclothes). No chance, they still change dress automatically.
Discussions on differences in tested actions between both players brought no results. There were no differences except a slightly different timing of actions. ???
Observations and explanations welcome!
KatEnigma:
I can't give an explanation of why they will go out into hard winter in their everyday clothes and not get cold - I'm assuming that there's snow on the ground? (other than EA can't code for shit) Although, according to Prima, it can still range into the "comfortable" range in winter. It should be fairly rare, and happen at the beginning and end of the season, but it's within the range. It is, however, supposed to get progressively colder as the winter goes on, within reason- no more than 10 degrees warmer or 30 degrees colder from one day to the other for winter (each season is set up different to make temps shift as you'd expect)
But as for the other, spring can still be "cold" and trigger the automatic changing. Since the weather is random and triggered by an algorithm, the weather on computer A could - and should- be completely different on computer B even though you're both on the same day of the same season.

Looks like an update in the Portal tree (Group = 0x7FD0DEBA, Instance = 0x200A).
Code:
20: Temp 0 < Const 0x17F(Temperature Thresholds (Sim's)):0x2=-29 (0xFFE3); true: 1D, false: 27
Temp 0 is presumably set by the "Weather - Temperature Outdoors - Get" Lua function. Fun stuff. ;D

I´m learning more and more astonishing things (though I do not yet understand all of that) ... I will take a look at it as soon I have quit the game. Thanks.
katenigma:
Concerning A:There still was a lot of snow around, although it was (slowly) getting milder. B has now arrived on day 5 in midspring and his Sims have stopped changing clothes sometime around noon, but started again in the evening.
Interesting ... if this were meant to be (it would be quite realistic for the evenings to be colder), then for once EA would have done a good job. But then the winter Sims should have changed even more readily in the evening - so what?
KatEnigma:
Yes, it gets colder at night, or when it rains. The biggest drop is in the summer (20 degrees, compared to only 10 in winter) but it happens in each season.
