Warmth Fix Mod
Apsalar:
Ah, it probably is the roof then. I know I used to cover with tiles in another lot when it snowed inside when I used the cone roof. I didn't think that the same could happen with other toofs aswell. How non-awesome of me.
It's pretty annoying how eaxis made those roofs then, how hard could it be to make that right? The roof are based on how many tiles it's placed on, right? The other stuff is just graphics, right? Or not.

Another caveat: the "attic wall" produced by drawing gable roofs is not an insulated wall and will not stop temperature loss. OFB dome and cone roofs are also believed to be ineffective: Such structures need you to cover the top surface of the room with floor.
Yeah, I was going to post this, I discovered if there is a floor above the attic space then the temperature stays constant. I noticed because I wanted to put the stupid DJ booth my sim was desperate to buy up there :D
Sivany:
I'm glad other people have had their sims getting cold indoors, it happened to me for the first time the other day when I played the Maxis-made fraternity from sim state university. That house looks big and draughty though so it was quite realistic. Can't see how it was to do with the roof though because I'm sure the second floor covers the first completely. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though, I'll check it out next time I play.
On another note, how hot does it have to be for a sim to get sunburnt and how long do they have to be outside? I've left my sims out for ages in what I thought was hot weather (debugger shows outdoor temp as about 40 which is the highest it's ever gone for me) and none of them have ever sunburnt. Am I not leaving them out there long enough or is it just that my sims suffer from crappy summers and 40 isn't actually that hot at all?
jsalemi:
40 isn't that hot -- the 'comfort range' is pretty much described as +/-30, and sims don't really start getting cold until the temp drops to -60 or more. The range is +/-100, so I suspect the outdoor temp has to get up over 60 (maybe even over 80) for them to sunburn. That may only happen in very mid-summer (I haven't gotten there yet in my game :) ).
There's a whole discussion of temperature issues over in The War Room: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7656.0.html
