I seem to remember when I played the disk version of Sims 2 that when a sim froze and collapsed in the snow (funny!) that another sim could use a blow dryer to thaw them out but I just had two sims freeze in the UC version I am playing now and the two sims that were not frozen had no options to help the frozen ones. The two unfrozen sims were teens but I thought teens could do this. Am I just remembering wrong - maybe it was sims 3 this happened in? I thought the two frozen ones were going to die since I did not have the option to thaw them with a blow dryer! They didn't - they just randomly finally got up and then I made them get hot chocolate (I like the blow dryer though - it is funny!).
In the UC version that I am playing now sims get colder and hotter much faster than they did when I played the disk version.

Actually, sims who freeze solid can be saved. Saving the frozen sim is same as in TS3 (using the hairdryer). This is the effect when sim's internal temperature is extremely low (that the thermometer even glows blue).
Unlike in The Sims 3, sims whose internal temperature is too high (that the thermometer glows red), they will pass out due to a headstroke. Other sims can save them simply by pouring water on them, so it's like feezing.
Also unlike in The Sims 3, sims in The Sims 2 cannot die by freezing or heatstroke. If you don't save the sims, they'll get up on their own after some time (Unlike in The Sims 3 where sim stays frozen for hours until they either starve and die or are saved). If sim starves, they'll only get up just to collapse again from starvation.
All I know is when Seasons was first release Sims could die from being frozen, then the forum exploded with people crying their Sims died so they released two Season patches to correct this and other things. Snooty Sims used to have a list of all the deaths and how they had lowered the ratios and it would be much harder for anyone to die. Like struck by lightning no longer kills them 99% of time now, just burns them. They even went back with those Season patches and changed the chance of other deaths to make it harder since so many had in the Inteen mod and said they didn't and complained the Seasons EP was killing all their Sims so they adjusted all those ratios and the pack was never as much fun after that.
Oh cool! I don't think I ever had a Sims 2 sim freeze before. I know I did it in 3 on purpose to see what happened.
