Overheating has gone too far!!

I wasn't asking about your layout, I was getting some odd readings from my layout. Apparently, attics operate a little oddly in Seasons. I am now going to have to launch a detailed probe into the issue, as the only reaction that makes any sense to the CURRENT readings I'm getting are "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over?".
The attics part is interesting. I started an Extreme Legacy, and started off with a Roof 'house'. Just a roof in other words, with a door in the side. While it did stop the snow and rain from getting in, and the lightning from striking inside, light snow also covered the inside of the roof (on the ground and bed and any objects). The sim would come close to freezing inside in Winter, and overheating in summer. This stayed the same even after adding extra side walls on the two ends. I noticed the difference immediately when I rebuilt the house on a foundation with proper walls and roofing.
I'm wondering at this moment if it's just the area directly under roofs that has this effect or if any homes built on the ground will do this too.

It seems to affect the area under the roof. I suspected roof-areas might become buggy in advance, too.
Strangel:
I've been playing on a no-foundation lot and it's working fine. I'll doublecheck to see if there's anything upstairs, like a floor walling off the snow that comes through the roof.
abelle:
I realised that the attic is no longer considered to be inside as well. I had to build a roof, delete the roof walls that were higher than regular walls, use regular walls and put a small roof on the top of the regular walls, because they were of course not lining up with the roof anymore.
I am not sure, if that was clear, but I think, walls that are created when using the roof tool are no longer considered walls. That would explain why you got light snow, because the roof was there, but no walls. That means it is considered outside, but covered.
I actually like this change, because if you wallpaper the attic, the wallpaper will no longer reach up to the roof.
ETA: This does definitely not affect houses without a foundation. I have played several of those and they work fine.
I just realised the change in the attic, because I wasnīt able to place a lamp without moveObjects on. The message was "must be placed inside". That was always the case when the attic wasnīt enclosed by walls all the way, the only difference is that the walls that are created by the roof tool are no longer considered to be proper walls.
The houses in Riverblossom Hills that already have an attic are build the way I described. You can see that the roof has two parts when you click a story up. Itīs only a little annoying, that I have to redo all my older houses. I used an attic in nearly all of them.

I found this interesting from Paladin at Sim Wardrobe
Prevents sims from randomly bursting into flames when they are hot.Requires the Seasons expansion pack.
Notes:
The seasons expansion pack has sims bursting into flames all over the place. It made me rather curious about just why that was. So I poked around in the code and was rather surprised about what I found.
If your sim's temperature is greater than or equal to 70, there is a 1 in 100 chance of the sim bursting into flames. There is a chance of this happening once every 15 minutes. Objects such as the treadmill rapidly push your sims temperature over 70. It should be noted that your sim will suffer heat exhaustion at 100, so the threshold for bursting into flames is actually much lower.
This is perhaps the most user unfriendly piece of code that I could imagine them adding. At least with this fix people can use the treadmill and hot tub without fear of sim-immolation.

This is what happened with my Sim. When he caught on fire, he had a deperation icon of needing to cool down(the glass) it was only after the old lady had put out the flames that he got the heatstroke icon. i have had a lot of Sims work out since and none of them had any probs. I got the hack that is mentioned earlier in the thread and it is interesting, i have a community lot that has 10 treadmills and I sent my sim up to work out and there were 10 sims standing there in front of the treadmills like free will was off. I went down a few floors to see if other sims were standing still too but they were fine. I guess when a sims gets too hot they are forced to stop till they cool down. Kind of interesting they started moving again after they cooled down.
