Energy Decay and BV
J. M. Pescado:
Meh, I might make it a one-function quickie Undiscovered Shiny.

Yes I noticed since I installed the Seasons that energy would go down faster in winter and fall. As for the bladder it seems for me that in summer it goes down faster
J. M. Pescado:
You imagined it, then, because the winter/fall/spring energy rates are the same, and bladder rates are apparently season-invariant.
eevilcat:
I'm pretty sure that I haven't imagined it. I was getting something like a 5 hour time difference between when sims needed to sleep in winter and the subsequent spring. It was in your face obvious otherwise I wouldn't have raised the issue in the first place. Are there any other season related factors that affect energy calculations? I'm almost wondering if there is some sort of cumulative effect related to the length of time the game is played which might explain why going on vacation has such as a big impact. Even a short holiday can add several hours elapsed gameplay time that you wouldn't do playing through a normal 5 day winter season. If there is some sort of cumulative time-elapsed effect within a season then going on a vacation could impact energy motive decay calculations.
I had a trawl through some of the BHAVs to see if I could spot any anomalies and while I can follow chains of BHAV calls from a starting point I found it very frustrating not being able to figure out where a BHAV was called from. Is there any way to do this? (Like looking for calls to a particular function in code.)
J. M. Pescado:
Anything which unnaturally impacts or desynchronizes energy can affect this perception, but winter itself is not the cause: Going to a community lot will desynchronize energy, as energy is burned without time being elapsed. Drinking coffee will affect energy, raising energy outside of its natural cycle. Freezing will also depress energy, so if your sim turns into an ice statue, he will also lose energy. And, of course, the obvious craftbenches and dances can also impact energy. Winter itself has no additional effect.
