Winter Massacre

I just saved one sim from Grim after she collapsed from freezing. She was on the street in front of my sim's house and my sim convinced her to group up. It would take too long to walk back to my sim's house, so I had them go to the gym. The sim made it to the steps before freezing. While pleading for that sim's life one of the bystanders froze. Grim hasn't gotten to him yet so I don't know if I'll be able to save him. But wait, there's more...there's another bystander who's looking quite blue and will probably collapse before I can convince him to go inside the gym. There are two other guys in tank tops and shorts who are probably doomed since they're going to be determined to stand out in the snow and watch each other die from freezing. I guess I'll have my sim befriend and date the last one standing.

I was playing household of the last female sim who's husband passed from hysteria. I was setting up her new life with the new husband when I saw notification I can't exit because someone is dying. I looked in the house, but death was happening far away from the house. When I looked closely who was dying, I literally had a hard attack !
This is the new husband of the first widow whose husband was first taken by hysteria out of 3 sims. So first husband died YA from hysteria, second husband froze to death ! He is my played sim, but at that moment I was playing another household. He was jogging, his clothes are not proper for jogging in cold weather, so he froze. I see it as a big problem, because I've noticed many sims turn blue while jogging in the cold weather.
Look closely at another sim in the jogging outfit, she turned blue. She is also my sim, her skin tone is light normally, not blue, she is freezing in this outfit ! There is no way to give them outfits for winter jogging
three sims standing next to each other all have long sleeves jogging outfits, they are not blue, I guess they are not freezing. But can they die from overheating in summer ?

I think they're working on a patch to fix some of the bugs that came with Seasons so maybe @SimGuruNick and @SimGuruArvin should be made aware this is happening.
Since seasons release I've played only in Willow Creek. I noticed blue sims from the very beginning, even thought it was cute until my own sim died
I don't think it's good solution. I think they should add summer and winter jogging outfits.
it's good thing, but then what is the point to have seasons if sims will have 0 emotions to the changing weather ? Better solution is to dress up sims properly and have all emotions that came with seasons.
When I finally get seasons, this is what I'm doing.

So sorry for your loss though. I'm not sure how this could be fixed...winter and summer jogging outfits would just create two new categories? I'm not sure if they would do that.

LittleMsSam has a small mod to fix this problem that she's working on in her Discord support channel in the #feedback channel. Just search for "no freezing to death mod" in the discussion there for a link. I can't seem to post any links but you should be able to find LittleMSSam, she's a prominent modder.
Her son is standing next to her, he is blue, I hope he'll make it home in time.
Or are we to use up a cold weather clothing spot for jogging attire? I am not sure how this all works. ( I don't have the EP yet)
thank you, I'll install it.
It makes me wonder if they should have added cold/hot outfits in the normal categories instead because the way this works right now isn't going to work long-term. Sims love to jog when you aren't playing them.
The only way to prevent them from heat stroke and freezing to death is by dressing them in the cold or hot outfits. It doesn’t matter what they wear as long as it was selected as a hot or cold outfit.
But here’s the problem.. whenever a sim jogs, jogs with the dog, plays basketball or does anything active they change into active wear. Doesn’t matter if you give them sweats and jacket as active wear since it’s not cold wear they’ll freeze to death.
The same problems will occur in the hot summer days cause they won’t be in their hot clothes. Even if their active wear is skimpier then a swimsuit. They’ll get heat stroke after jogging.
If they go swimming they change into swim wear so after a dip if they hang out in their suit they’ll get heat stroke. Which makes no sense.
The other thing that bugs me is once they change into cold clothes they don’t change out of them even after they go inside to their warm house. I don’t want my sims having dinner in a hat and mittens. Or seeing townies in a restaurant in winter gear. I really wish they would’ve just given us outerwear like in previous games, and then added the hot wear category for very hot days. (But still allowed swim wear to be considered okay to wear in hot weather)
We need some tweaking here very badly, it’s a major shame because I adore this EP so much, but the clothing thing doesn’t work at all.
100% agreed.
I couldn't find mod to prevent more deaths.
