Weight Gain
« on: March 17, 2014, 06:03:35 AM »
I don't get it. This adopted sim I have in my household keeps gaining weight. It seems know matter how much she works out, her LTHT that are suppose to keep that from happening, but those didn't even work. Plastic surgery was a waste with a big laugh.  Any suggestions?

Does she lose weight working out but gain it right back? If so, her weight slider is probably all the way over to the right. Either she's going to have to work out a lot, or you're going to have to accept her fluffiness.

Welcome to our Forum.

KRae is right.  If a Sim is prone to being overweight, you have to work at it constantly to keep the weight off.  The only way to permanently change it would be to edit that Sim in Create-A-Sim and move the weight slider.

If you have the Fast Metabolism LTR, this actually makes them gain weight easily, as well as lose it. It's kind of a misleading name as in real life people with fast metabolism don't easily gain weight. So your sim will lose the weight by exercising more easily, but if they are eating when they aren't hungry, or eating too often, they will gain weight very easily. I've seen overweight townies that my sim has trained, who lost the weight, be maximum size again a few hours later!

 slider in CAS also work, but for a limited time.  I have had a couple of sims who were overweight and I used it and it only helped for a short time.  One was a male who would be seen as a hunk (genetics, his dad had a great body also) and never had a problem with his weight, ate when his hunger was low but not real low, not yellow.  He became pregnant (had SEA then) with an alien baby and after the baby was born, he had gained a lot of weight.  He had to work out constantly and watch how much he ate.

Female was on the chubby side when she married my sim.  She slimed down using the exercise equipment; had the baby and the weight was back on.  Had her work out and she lost it but it came right back on as soon as she quit working out.

Used the LTR weight machine, can't remember what it was called, could slim a sim down or give them weight for the skinny ones. 

It also worked for only a while; if she didn't work out she put the weight back on. 

Adopted sims, had skinny ones at children or teen and when they would age up be seriously overweight  Changed them in CAS and it worked for a few days, then right back to the weight.

They had to work out every day to keep the nice figure. 

If the slider says she is to be on the chubby side, overweight, then she will be unless she works out every day or at the least every other day.

I think you mean the Body Sculptor?
My best thoughts for keeping weight off would be to exercise with him/her once a day or two days and have him/her eat quick meals/fruit/vegetables over full meals. You lose the good moodlets from the food, but you'll never over-eat with those as they never fully fill the hunger bar. Plus you can always role play him/her as a health nut and throw her in a sports career or something. :) Just some ideas.

If you have Supernatural you could buy the lean and mean potion. Not sure if it would be a permenant solution though? Can anyone confirm?

The Lean and Mean potion is not permanent, nor is the Large and in Charge.

When my sim used lean and mean, not only was it not permanent, he got bigger than before using it after about a week.

You could also get the Hardly Hungry LTR. Your sim won't eat as much so they shouldn't gain weight as fast either. Adding that to working out should help. Every time I've had a sim that was closer to being fat, they would gain weight so easily. It was almost impossible to keep it off all the time.

I've been kind of puzzled by weight issues too.  I have two sims that I want to be plump, and they keep losing weight!  Usually when I'm not playing them.  I'll encounter them when I'm playing another family in the town and see they are thin again!  I tried editing them in CAS, but they won't stay plump.  It's kind of puzzling.

If you have the premium content deep fryer or ice cream maker, it might be easier to keep them plump. I have trouble keeping sims away from them when I have them in a house! I even had a simbot constantly eating ice cream. (Though she did not get fat, lucky robot!)

Do you have a story progression mod, by chance?
I only have this issue when playing with Nraas Story Progression in, as all my Sims tend to go to the gym. I'll be playing in Sunset Valley with just one Sim and suddenly, Beau Andrews, Emma Hatch, and Claire Ursine are all super thin and I'm completely lost as to how! Haha. I've never seen it happen without the story progression though.

or eating too often
Wait a minute. Really? I didn't know your Sim can pack on pounds for eating too often. I always take care of their Hunger when it feels it's a bit too low, even before they start getting peckish.
