Deadly expensive hot tubs

Or, have your Sim fix a trash compactor in a ladderless pool while running with scissors and flying a kite.
Now that would be a sight to see!

Thanks LadyLiberty. Pleased to meet you too. :)
This was my first custom neighborhood. Joe was a menace to everyone there. First time I saw him, he'd wandered past the house of a Sim who was near the top of the athletic career. Max body, max fitness. He insulted her. Bad move. She beat him like a cheap rug and sent him on his way.
Joe keeps complaining about the toilet when he's haunting. Apparently I sold his favorite crapper to replace it with a Flushforce 2000.
In another hood I had a Sim based on a particularly obnoxious poster on the BBS. I'd made this particular Sim specifically to make him miserable. I wanted to see if a Sim could die from low hygiene. Joe came by and annoyed him, and he got a want to "See the ghost of Joe Carr." So I decided I'd let him, and fenced Joe off in a corner and let him die. First time he saw the ghost, it scared him to death! Poetic justice.
I thought about the weather vane, but decided not to mess with it. Maybe someone else has some experience with the thing.
I guess Maxis never intended Sims to use the hot tub during Spring and Summer. Too bad they didn't give us the option to drain it. I had a jacuzzi attached to my swimming pool, when I had one. It wasn't exactly a hot tub, but the water was always warmer than the pool itself, and we used it a lot, even when the weather was a bit cooler. No problems when the weather was warmer. One Sim house is based on that house, and I don't like the idea of putting an awning over the pool. At least I don't need it all year.
Speaking of pools, the pools are body temperature the year 'round, so you can use them to cool down in Summer and heat up in Winter.

I've since removed the hottubs on my dorm lots ( death rate too high from combustion and lightning), but before I removed them, I had a dormie get out of the tub, wander into the dorm to play pool and combust. I thought "That's It"...no more hottubs. I've pretty much cleaned out my fugly dormie pool. The new shiny game generated dormies are not as hard on the eyes.
Combustion from hot tubs is eliminated in the warmth fixes, along with other temperature-related nuisances, like phone-freezing lag.

Yes, that's the plan. Now that I've thinned out the population it's time to insert the fix. I just didn't have any time today to get much done. In the meantime, until I got the fix, I just moved the tubs out. They'll be back...as a lightning rod, I'm sure. I've had my fair share of bolts from the sky deaths also. But then again, what idiot goes swimming or hottubbing during a freakin' storm? I'll tell you who: a candidate for the Darwin Awards. Those deaths were well earned. Stupid Sims. :P

Well, sims lack any sort of deductive reasoning ability. They aren't human, for all their outward appearances to the contrary.
