Until recently I was playing in the same save game that I had been playing in for like.. 4 years. So I'm behind the times on some things related to the game, because other than residential lots that save was established a long time ago.
I noticed in my new game, where I got most of the Community Lots from the Gallery, that pretty much none of them have a thermostat. Is it because they aren't supposed to need one?
I google searched to try to find an answer, but all the search results are just old topics discussing the issue where thermostats don't work on community lots....but that was supposedly fixed in like 2018.

You just have to make sure to check when you arrive, because if you were last on the lot in the middle of winter and set the thermostat to high; then return during a heatwave, we all know what can happen...
Edit: I haven't played the game much recently but I've never had them not work on community lots.

@Kita5399 , I have to thank you for that input. My question was prompted after my sims stayed in their cold weather outfits while inside a bar in Winter. I noted a lack of thermostat in the bar as well. Then when visiting a spa the next day, they got cold as could be while doing yoga...again I noticed no thermostat. So yah, it seems to me one is needed too.
I went through my new save after making this post and added thermostats to every single community lot (except the ones in Sulani) and literally NONE of the community lots from the gallery had one. Which surprises me, if they actually "need" one. I guess people don't want to have their lots indicate that "Seasons" is required....even when it's already flagged to need like 40+ packs. *shrug*
