Wonderful! Is this compatible with LittleMsSam's Automatic Thermostat?

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I've not heard of that mod before.
I've had a quick look at it and it seems to be an edit on the thermostat from seasons. I've used the tuning data for the space heaters from Snowy Escape. I can see if I can try it out together after work tonight if I remember.
Also, the tuning I used seems to have an auto thermostat option already, as shown in the screenshots. Though, I've not actually used that yet when playing.

**Edit: I've been playing for a bit now with the auto thermostat option already available on these radiators and they work perfectly. I still haven't installed and tried the auto thermostat mod you mentioned, but I would assume it's okay, since my heater doesn't actually touch the thermostat object.

Default Thank You!
This is great! Now we have another Functional Radiator! We can't have enough of those. It's silly that after Seasons they didn't bother going back and making this functional along with ceiling fans or that table fan.

For anyone who doesn't have Snowy Escape. K9DB made a functional radiator that uses the Heat Lamp from Dine Out.

Do you think you can make the Ceiling fans functional? Mainly the Island Living one. TheSimmer40, made a version of that leafy ceiling fan functional (w/ light bulb) but not the Island Living version. It would be great if you could.

I try to make it as clear as I can what expansions are required for my mods/CC - every thumbnail I make has the required pack logo on it. If it's base game it will have the standard plumbob logo.
You can always try this one if you have Dine Out:

I'll also link it in recommended at the side of this page.

Also, as I type this (22:26pm 01/02/2021 - Sims packs are on sale, including Snowy Escape if you wanted to pick it up for £17.49)

If you have Vampires but not Snowy Escape, K9DB also made a Functional Radiator that works great. It's functional with LittleMsSims Thermostat, and has been kept updated.

Thank you, I did link this one at the side in the recommended mods section. That one also requires Dine Out instead of Snowy Escape

:'( I'm sad. It's not working. I downloaded it, extracted it, and put it in my mods folder, but when I go into build mode, it doesn't show up. I searched 'radiator' in the build mode item search and it says its under 'Recreation' but then when I go into the recreational objects category, it isn't there. What do I do? Do I need the Vampire pack, or Snowy Escape, or something for it to work? Please help!

You do need Snowy Escape for this to work, it's a clone of a Snowy Escape item

Firstly, please make sure you're definitely placing my item and not the original Vampires radiators. I didn't overwrite the originals.

If it is broken I'm not sure, I've not been playing for a while. I can try and test it next time I fire up the game to see if there's any issues.
