Sims seasons - Sims CATCHING FIRE and DYING?!
Eternities

WHY, just WHY did EA make the absolute ridiculous and evil decision to make it so Sims can catch fire and DIE when out in sunlight in the Sims Seasons? One of my favourite Sims has just died, and there is no way to resurrect her! =(
I am absolutely appalled with EA for this. Sims go outside all of the time. And, because Sims can be 🐸🐸🐸🐸, they do enjoy standing around for hours on end chatting in the game. Thus, I fear that this will happen again - a Sim standing around in the sun will suddenly combust and die somewhere in the game without my knowledge. In fact, I'm scared that other Sims in my game have died now, without me knowing, because of this dreadful feature. :(
Unless someone can find me a way to make it so this can NEVER happen (because why should it? It's needlessly cruel and makes no sense - people don't catch fire just because it's hot!), I'll be forced to turn off Summer permanantly, and possibly Winter as well, as I've heard they can also freeze to death in exactly the same way. I really hope there isn't a Regardless, I'm very upset that this feature exists. I bought Seasons because it seemed like such a great addition, making the Sims universe more interesting. But this form of death in the game is by far the worst. Are there any cheats that can turn spontaneous combustion/freezing/any other form of random death off? I love the town I've made and I don't want any of my Sims dying until I feel it's necessary.
By the way, I've turned off aging and story progression, so it has nothing to do with those two features.

I know some people love killing Sims, and I've done so several times in my mess-around saved game, but in my main game, I don't want any of them to die (though Gobias Koffi did at one point, but I didn't care about him enough to bother rescuing him).
It can be found here: NRaas Tempest
As for the "Immune to Heat" and "Immune to Cold" rewards, I could use the testingcheatsenabled cheat to give every Sim in Sunset Valley enough points so everyone can have these, though it will take ages and be very tedious, going through every single household in the game. I have about 45 households in Sunset Valley and almost 170 playable Sims in my save file. Still, if it means neighbourhood Sims can enjoy the seasons without the risk of dying, I'll be happy to do it. So thank you to phoebebebe13 as well. =)
One last thing: As well as quitting without saving to bring that dead Sim back (for the interested, it was Vita Alto who died. Yeah, I know we're meant to hate her because she's an evil snob who spoils her daughter rotten, but she's one of my favourite Sim characters), I checked around my town to see if everyone is still alive. Thankfully, no-one else in my neighbourhood died, just Vita due to her being in the park all day. Phew! I was terrified while looking through all of my families. =P
For what it's worth, I've never seen a sim freeze to death. What seems to happen instead is that they turn into a block of ice. Relatively soon, other inactives gather around provided they are in an accessible location, carry them indoors (if possible), and help them thaw out.
But if you still want protection against overheating, I would agree with handing out the Immune to Heat reward to everyone in town rather than altering the weather patterns. With NRaas MasterController and its Cheats module (different mods, same source as Tempest), you can grant the 10,000 LTR points to everyone in town at once and then have them all purchase the reward at the same time -- doing the 170 individually would not be necessary. However, if new sims are born or arrive in town, they will need to be similarly protected later on.

edit: don't the parasols cool down sims? I don't use those, but that might be an option for active sims. I don't know how difficult it would be to place one in each inactive sim inventory.
I don't think townies have ever caught fire in my game without me knowing. I've had a couple of paparazzi catch fire in front of my celebrity sims' gates. The maid came out and put out one, but the other one burned to death, even though my sims were having a party and there were quite a lot of other sims around when it happened. But since those were paparazzi and it happened right outside my sims house (and they both had been standing there for days by then), I wouldn't worry too much about other sims you're not currently playing.
MMAO thinks I own the store! Saving my way to Midnight Hollow Gold until EA makes The Golden Ticket Shop buyable.
