@jbrewskiii Plug a USB storage device into your PS4.
1. Go to Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Copy to USB Storage Device.
2. Select Sims 4.
3. Place ticks next to the save you wish to copy, and select Copy.
Take your USB to a computer, plug it in, and upload the save to Onedrive or Google Drive. PM the link to the save to the SimGuruNick. You can click on his name here in this post to send a PM Share Your Save Request Post

So this happens occasionally in my game (it only seems to affect my male sims?). The freezing to death buff randomly shows up, while in warm weather. I downloaded the all cheats mod to help.
For PC Users: Press CTRL+SHIFT+C and type “testingcheats true”
For Console Users: Press all the shoulder button and enter “testingcheats on”
Cheat Code Usage Sims.remove_all_buffs Removes all emotions/moodlets
I couldn't ever find the code for just the freezing moodlet/buff so I just use this.

Did you guys still need a save file of this? My game is doing the same things. Male Sim gardening and freezing to death even in winter clothing on a hot day. He became a ghost so I’ve shrugged it off and have been prepping Ambrosia to revive him, however even after purchasing the “Iceproof” trait for him and despite him being a ghost I have a constant moodlet and warning saying he’s freezing to death. Now he’s too uncomfortable to keep farming the Ambrosia and I’m becoming frustrated.
How do I copy a save on PC for you guys again?

Hi Sims are still freezing to death in summer with winter clothes I play on the ps5. I didn't save not sure if the point I went back to is still in autosave. But I have another before another sim almost died twice.

I have no clue how to send the data from the ps5. But I noticed that it might be a problem caused by the sprinklers. Both my sims were gardening while the sprinklers were on and they (almost) froze to death shortly after. In summertime with winter clothing.

I had the same issue as well. So far the hotfix update has seemed to fix it. However, every time a expansion pack comes out I have the same issue. I could try to send a save where it happened though if saves are still needed?

Sims won't freeze to death in the Summer when interacting with sprinklers. Someone must’ve forgotten to turn the air conditioner off… we’ll be sure to hand out blankets next time!
Fixed in Patch 1.94.147/1.68
The patch notes seem pretty specific and I'm not sure if that's all there was to this bug so, if you still see it, make a new thread. Try to be as specific as possible when it's happening.
Good Luck
