Sunburn
You can help The Sims Wiki by adding it.
Sunburn occurs when Sims stay outside in the sun too long. It was introduced with Seasons and with Bon Voyage, where a Sim can get a sunburn on Twikkii Island. It can also occur from prolonged exposure to the sun from sunbathing on the beach. When a Sim gets a sunburn, their face and portrait turns red.
Sometimes if a Sim is in the sunburned position for too long they will faint and will have suffered heatstroke. This can be resolved in 3 ways:
- Wait for nightfall, when they will cool down.
- Another Sim may bring a glass of water to them, and tip it over them. This cools the Sim down.
- Weather changes also appear to wake Sims with heatstroke
Heatstroke can be avoided by cooling a Sim, either by having them drink lemonade or water from a sink, or moving them indoors or into a pool. Putting them in a hot tub is not recommended though.
After around 3 days, the sunburned Sim will revert to normal. If it doesn't revert, then the player is experiencing a known bug and the Sim in question will remain burnt forever. The only known remedy is to download a third-party hack, the FFS Lot Debugger, and use it to reset a burnt Sim.
