Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1-Have lots of NPC sims in your game 2-Have many households created by you in your game (sometimes it is one of them who dies) 3-Play a household in winter time in a neighborhood where it snows. 4-Eventually your game will be halted and the camera will direct the vision to a NPC freezing to death.

What do you expect to see? All NPC sims should wear proper clothes to the weather when they go outside. If they decide to go jogging in winter they should do it wearing winter clothes.

I've noticed the same thing here and no mods to correct it. NPCs will come to the gym during a blizzard and "dun dun dun" freeze to death. I should take a picture of the 6 urns that decorate the gym now because someone freezes to death every winter at the gym.

My sim lives on  Henford and every winter, NPCs decide to go swimming on the river and freeze due to that.

I've been having this issue for years, I think ever since I installed seasons in 2019-ish. Didn't even realize it was a bug. I have mods now but the issue long predated the use of any mods or cc in my game
