    will one service the whole house even the basement or will I need to put one in the basement too?
    and how about the 2nd floor?

      The bills are NUTS in my game since I added the thermostat. They were high before, but goodness!

      Any chance anyone can share the numbers? I’m curious and can’t play just yet

      This reminds me I went through a whole 7 day period and never got bills at all.

      Does it affect the greenhouse even if its not attached to the house?

      How is the thermostat supposed to affect my sims anyway? I am in autumn and its a cold day. I bought a thermostat and set it to warm and I am disappointed to see my sims walking around the house in winter coats. I think I expected them to use normal clothes when at home with thermostat on and then change to warm clothing when they go outside? Does anyone have the same issue?

      I’d say my bills went up a good 10-15k simoleons. And this was with using MC Command Center to lower the percentage. My house isn’t THAT big I’ll have to turn off the thermostat until necessary.

      What the...my bills were originally around 10-11k now I put the thermostat only had it for about 2 days and it came to 41.5k. Luckily I have 400k but how is a poorer family supposed to be able to afford this!? They’ve should’ve added wall-in acs or fans

      My sims complain if I turn it off and claim the house feels like a morgue. :joy:

      Right?! I was shocked. I wonder how it’s calculated by EA, because it’s absolutely mad.

      Oh wow. I think I'll wait till they're really feeling the cold before turning the thermostat on! And stick some comfy sweaters into the "Cold" category. A lot of my builds don't have room for a fireplace. I've read Hot Chocolate is supposed to help too. And for summer, ice cream.

      what i notied is a positive moodlet when its the right temp (winter have the heater on) i think though if its just off the house will get cold/hot and be uncomfortable especially during heat waves and blizzards.

      Would house size make a difference? Like a smaller house would have smaller bills?

      I think we really need those solar panels from "Off the Grid" now...

      That's such a huge difference haha. I think my Sims will just have to huddle by the fireplace once winter rolls around.

      I've asked on Twitter. Meantime, a whole bunch of Sims are just not getting thermostats!

      Now I understand why no one but the head of house should ever touch the thermostat :joy:

      the astronomical bills are kind of realistic lol

      If you don't put a thermostat in the house, will the sims still feel the effects of the weather? Like a cold house or hot house?

      yeah they like doubled....I like it because some of my sims make money too easy. The sims that are struggling are really struggling now LOL Might need invest in a fireplace to keep the bills down in the winter. Anyone know if the fireplace will keep the whole house warmer or will I need one for each room?
