Community Lots and Weather
Kralore:
I've just done a bunch of testing and have found that it is possible to have an all winter sub hood, and have a sim from another hood which is currently in summer, visit a comunity lot there and have a normal winter with all the winter interactions/content (deep snow on the ground, build snowman, auto changing in and out of outerwear etc.) There are several quirks to this, but there are also ways around the quirks.

Mhm. Subhoods have their own climate, supposedly. I first noticed this when winter was occuring at Uni, and I typically don't have a winter in my neighborhood.
syberspunk:
When this happens i.e. having your sim whose 'home' hood is experiencing say summer, visits a sub-hood experiencing winter, does the sim change into the appropriate clothing when they arrive on that lot? Or are they forced to freeze? Although that is somewhat more realistic I suppose... I don't imagine there is a way for us to find out what season a sub-hood happens to be in, without visiting it before hand that is. ???

PS. I finally got Seasons, and I've installed and updated the hacks that I use so far and deleted any of the ones still pending updates. I am now in the process of updating my own hacks. Hopefully I'll have time tonight to finish some and update my compatibility notice thread and release the updates as well.

I know that non-playables (townies and other sims) that show up on a community lot dress for the weather on that lot, but I haven't sent a currently playable sim to a sub-hood with completely different weather yet so I don't know what happens. I'd be curious too.

From my playtesting so far, sims have no knowledge of what season they will be going into. They won't change to appropriate clothing, But from what I can see, overheating and freezing on a community lot has no negative effects. If a sim overheats I don't think they will spontaniously combust.
You can sort of know what season it will be in a subhood before you get there. As an example, If home hood is season 2 summer and sub hood is season 2 winter, it will be winter when you arrive at the sub hood community lot. This is for an unowned community lot. When you visit an unowned community lot in a different neighborhood then your home hood, The season # (1-4) will always match up.
I will hopefully be posting the guide I promised very soon. It's turning out to be alot of information though. There are a few variables that affect what the season/weather will be on a community lot when you visit. Is the lot in your home hood or a different hood, Is the lot unowned, or is it owned as a business by a sim etc. There is other information I would like to include in the guide as well such as how to control the weather on a lot.
