So I want to get seasons but I don't want any sims to die of heat or freezing. I just want them to get delightfully cold or hot, or even complain a little, but not die. So someone told me you could still play but turn off weather effects. What does that do? I want weather without death, so if it does that, maybe I would get it.

And, by turning off the weather effects means you can switch off snow and blizzard, rain and thunderstorms..and an option to uncheck the effect of the weathers on your Sims...
I never had townies died due to the weather so far (I play 28 days in each season).. there's one time, my maid was struck by the lightning.. once... lucky, he still alive and continued doing the chores.. but, if the lightning happened to strike your lot, you might find crystals that could complete your collection..
I don't turn off the weather effects... but my guess is, it should be applied to the saved game only (regardless of the number of active lots). I haven't tried turning off the weather and play in a different saved game yet, because, I'm so into with my current household after installing the season pack..
Anyway, one day the forecast was for mysterious weather. Despite having rain and thunderstorms turned off in settings, I still got rain and thunderstorms that day. So, either this is a bug/glitch or 'mysterious' weather overrides your settings by design and you can get anything anyway.
The reason I mention this is for those who might think their Sims are safe from lightening, getting wet without an umbrella or even freezing in a blizzard because they turned off these types of weather, it can still happen. I imagine it's rare in this case, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
Happy Simming!
As others have said, you can turn off the Sim effects and you will be safe.
