Does anyone know if the radiator works by keeping sims warm? I know it was only deco before but I'm sure I read somewhere that they updated it. It would have been awesome also if we could use the fan from GTW to keep cool.

Thankfully my sims haven't touched the thermostat once. My sims only have $300 worth of simoleons right now... they're pretty poor lol. Fall is on its way though, so I guess they'll be bundling up.
those outdoor heaters work inside and can be set for automatic, so there not on all the time. they usually come on in the evening. and my sims have been fine, no complaining of being cold and no thermostat. still waiting for the bills.

But It’ll look so out of place in my home
I’ll just keep it off for now, it doesn’t seem to make a difference, Sims still stay in their outdoors clothing, was hoping they’d switch back to their everyday
My bills haven't been too bad (yet ). I started a new save with a new build a one storey two bedroom two bath furnished with mostly Seasons assets and my bills have been around 1600 - 1800. I've left the thermostat on all the time on warm during Spring. Added on a upstairs portion of the house last time I was in game and the bills went to 2200. I love this feature! This needs to be kept!!!
I am really loving this. It make sense for them to be a bit higher if you have a fully decked out lavish home. Makes the game play a bit more fun for my sims to "struggle" in going out into the world trying to find ways to pay their bills. I dislike the loading screens so having higher bills will more likely make me travel with my sims to sell items, or try to get collectables
After one week of moving in and not using the thermostat much the bills were just over 3,000, which is reasonable for the size of the house. After the 2nd week, using the thermostat a lot more the bills went up to just over 8,000.
I like this feature.
I've decided not to use the thermostat if it's warm or cool; only for hot, heatwave, cold or freezing.
The heat lamps from Dine Out do keep sims warm, but the Vampire GP radiators do not. Also, if you switch to your summer/winter outfits, your sims don't need a thermostat at all.
I'm using the fireplace inside, firepits outside and my sims wear winterwear inside. In the rich families I just set the thermostat and leave it. I like it.
My two sims live in a pretty normal sized house. 3 bedrooms (only one has stuff in it because they haven't had kids yet) and I had the thermostat on for two days and my bills were 125,000 and they only had average jobs and had only about 4,000 in their account. I had to cheat just so they could pay their bills. All my other families that have the thermostat have normal bills ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 but never that much. Let's just say I turned that thing off asap. Now they just warm themselves with the fire.

My sims don’t seem to really need it. I’ve only turned it on for once and turned it off few hours later. Normally If my sims are hot or cold I use other methods to cool them down or warm them up.
does having the fire place on count for heat?? I don't have the expansion pack yet (waiting for a sale... so a LONG time) before i get it. if it doesn't too bad they ddin't have a fireplace that would count but you would have to purchase wood, then cut it, put it in the wood shed and bring some inside to put in the fire place. lots of animations - that would be a new item for sure (don't think they had that in the previous versions).

That is a real shame though.

I am doin that right now I have two goin at all times and haven't had the morgue icon....but I haven't gotten my new set of bills yet
I am but haven't had a bill yet.
They still shiver indoors with just a fireplace and have to wear their winter clothing.
My sims actually light the fireplace autonomously lol when its really cold outside.
