Steps to Reproduce:
Play a game in Dowon (only city with real snow and sub-zero (celcius) temperature
Wait for winter
Watch as NPCs keep their winter clothes inside the house…
I have to micro-manage them to remove their winter clothes every time they enter the house or auto-change, or they do this… (see below )
Good that you’re reporting this. It needs to be brought up. There have been posts on this topic before but they weren’t updated and disappeared. For now I’m in summer gameplay but I’ll check later how it looks on my end, though I’m afraid nothing has changed in that regard.
It’s weird, but my Zois put on winter clothes as soon as they get out of bed. Is it cold in their house? I couldn’t find any radiators to fix that.
Also, many people in Dowon walk around in summer clothes in the winter and shiver.
This has happened to me too. Most of the time I play in Dowon, and as soon as it gets cold, boom, there’s the winter clothing, and the only things I saw to buy were the ceiling air conditioner and ceiling fan, if I remember correctly, but nothing like a thermostat to control the climate inside the house, or some kind of heater. And I don’t know why on the street, the sims walk around in everyday or summer clothes. Shouldn’t they automatically have winter clothes too?
Yeah, that’s just how it works at the moment. Zois automatically put on their summer outfit in summer and their winter outfit in winter. What we really need is a separate category for ‘outdoor’ clothing which only applies outside. It already works that way with shoes so it should be doable.
Yeah, it’s pretty annoying that the Sims walk around the house in thick jackets and hats after waking up or showering! This constant manual changing into everyday clothes is a pain. It would be nice if they realized they’re indoors and just put on their regular clothes. Or if there was some kind of temperature regulator you could install in the house so they wouldn’t put on heavy winter clothing anymore. In any case, this should be changed.
I think it is true that as it stands, temperatures inside and outside are the same, separate interior temps have not yet been implemented.
However I agree with the suggestion that there should be a separate outdoor clothing category, so my zoi’s only wear coats and hats outside. Anything else is a bit jarring and looks strange.
Maybe someone will think I’m sentimental, but I really feel bad for NPCs shivering in the cold during winter Please add seasonal clothing changes for NPCs!
I agree to all of you as well. And thanks for reporting this @Samuriko
Even if it is intended it should be changed so that the game recognizes if the Zoi is inside or outside. It looks very unnatural when Zois hang around in their winter clothing at home.
