Reaching a sim's maximum body potential (bodybuilder aspiration)

[mayayeti72]

Hope someone can shed some light on this as I have not been able to find an answer elsewhere so far.

I am stuck on the last milestone of the bodybuilder aspiration which is to reach a sim's maximum body potential. My sim has been exercising now non stop for nearly two sims days while on the moodlet solver to keep all his needs bars full. He is also very energised most of the time. But I cannot tick this last milestone off.

What am I not doing please?

Have you tried both lifting weights and doing cardio?  I think both are required.

If you get your sim to drink the protein mixology drink and eat the special protein dish from the cooking skill a couple of times in one day and weight lift then this goal is easily reached. Especially if you make your sim drink 2-3 protein drinks while at the gym. Just watch that they don't spoil!

Weights and cardio are both required.  I just did this on one of my sims and just lifting weights wasn't doing it.  Had him run on the treadmill for a while and DING, done!

I have done this with all my sims and none of them have ever been on the treadmill. Only weights! Who knows why the difference but for me all my male sims do is lifts weights!

Do you start them out all the way down on the body fat meter?  Or drink a lean potion with them?

I've never used a lean potion at all actually. The maximum body potential, as far as I can tell, is about maximum muscle size, the sim becoming lean should have already happened as you have been exercising them to level 10 of the fitness skill. Usually when this goal is completed I spend the next few days making them eat the most calorie laden food possible so they beef up again and their muscle mass actually shows.

The muscle mass on my male Sims show plenty once they've completed this goal.  It doesn't show as much on the female Sims, but I wouldn't really want them to have as big of muscles as the male ones.

I think it probably all depends on how your sim was made in CAS at the beginning of your game. Nice to know that how we make our sims actually makes a difference!

Thank you all.

I drank two protein shakes, swapped the treadmill for the weights and with the "epic" workout option he finished the last milestone 

[doraki10]

Can you tell me how to buy or prepare protein shakes,please?

[Playalot]

By a mixology bar @doraki10 and once your sim is at L5 fitness they can make a protein shake by clicking on the bar and bringing up the menu of drinks that can be made. Welcome to the forum.

Do you have to buy the bar? I can't remember whether my bodybuilder had one in her house or not, but she did have the option to "drink protein shake" when I clicked on her directly.

They do need a bar to make it but the protein plate your sim makes when they are energized does just as well.

[Magpie2012]

Yeah, I was thinking of that "energy juice" or whatever it's called that they just take out their pocket and drink lol shows how much attention I've paid!
