Cold can never kill sims. There's no combustion effect for being cold, a sim that is cold will simply freeze and turn into a statue. This will not happen unless the temperature has become <= -70, as the cold capping prevents activities from dropping you below -85 otherwise. Sims have an elevated chance of contracting the plague if their immune systems are weakened by the cold, but unlike the original Maxis version, there is no spontangeous generation and the sim must actually be in the presence of someone who has the plague.
Okay, I know I'm going to sound dumb, but are you saying that sims can freeze and turn into statues? Or that they actually cannot? Cause my sims' temp meters have gone very low and turned blue, but I managed to get them inside in time. Every time I have tried to have a sim build a snowman, I have had to make them stop and come in for a while before I could send them back out to finish building it. Should I just ignore the blue temp? On a forum at another site, a woman claimed her sim had turned into a statue. And supposedly, some winters are colder, some are not so drastic -- could that make a difference?

If for some reason they were outside in everyday clothes and started snowball fighting (a very frequent thing on some of my lots), they will rather quickly turn to frost-bite state. You'll know because the game will lock up for about 5 seconds before the effect takes place, and then you get a pale thumbnail of your sim. The prospect of turning a sim to a statue isn't nearly as annoying as that long lock up.
RainbowTigress:
Freezing doesn't actually kill them. But if their needs drop too low, they can die of hunger just like any other time. But if their needs don't drop to drastic levels, they shouldn't suffer any ill effects.

They can. Freezing is actually rather therapeutic and if a sim freezes, you should just leave them that way, as they suffer no ill effects or even motive decay while cryogenically frozen thus. And it's funny!

Pretty much. Sims don't suffer any real consequences other than the turning-blue and then freezing, which is harmless. Cold good. Hot bad.

Yes. Normally, sims cannot drop below -85 temp unless outdoor temp is <= -70. A sim turns blue around then, but can't actually freeze into a statue and fall over until -100. So yeah, check the temperature stats, and if it's not -70 or below, ignore it!
trudy:
ah thanx, it must have been a combination of events that killed my sim.
