Re: [FIXED] All children of played families are overweight

Changed your title to reflect the issue better

Are you using any mods in your game ?

Could be could be not. The problem is that I need it tested on vanilla games so Maxis can't say it's caused by mods.

I've asked around on twitter and got a few that have the issue.

Added it now.

I have the same problem and still did even when I took out all my mods. And feeding them too much as babies is not an issue because I tried aging them up straight after they were born and nothing changed. It appears to just be a bug with the game.

Any changes for this ?

I'm having the same issue after the last update but not with just female children.

All new women Sims in my game are being born with big feets and belly even if she is thin. It's so big that I have to turn on the CASfulledit to reduce the sizes.

Could you post a picture ? Any custom content ?

No custom content.

Of course I have some pictures.

I really don't know why this is happening! 😕

Is that as teens too or only ya up ? My Child should become a teen soon. I'll see how she'll turn out.

Thank for the pics.

Star and Judite are adult. Josefa is teen.

I've been watching my Sims growing up and I perceived the men are having great feets too but the women are the unique to have the swollen belly.
Maybe somehow its linked to the pregnancy even if they don't.

I do think my teen has the belly but not the big feet.

Need to check the other one that should age soon but is already a chubby child

I've had this issue since release of the base game (female children specifically), also NPC children (Both genders) always seem to grow up with 'negative' traits such as Glutton and Evil.

I don't know if this is the same issue or a different one. All of my females (5 in one family) are getting fatter and fatter. Working out all the time doesn't change it. The males in the same family don't have that problem. 

I am not sure if they aged up. I did not start them as children, but I think they were young adults who have aged up to regular adults. I'm not sure if that's when it happened, but it would make sense. 

Someone else on another website reported the same problem too.

I've had the same issue. Only once, though. I'm going to try again to see if I have the same problem with a second child.

No mods or CC.

I finally figured out what is happening.

My Sims grow bigger just if the Sims meet with another one generated by the own game.
So if someone from my active family has a baby with a homeless Sim it will grown with great belly and feet. The problem is all future generation will have the same genetic in these body parts even if I change in CAS.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this... It's so annoying! They are all overweight.

I have the same problem since the toddler patch! All male toddlers grow up supersized (overweight). Before the patch I did not had the problem and I never use mods.

It's a shame isn't?

But this problem just happens when you have a kid with a homeless Sim generated by the game. Even if you change them in CAS, all future generations are already doomed with a big belly, giant feet and large hips.
So to avoid this problem I don't recommend to marry with them. Do this just If you have no options... :/

I made a screenshot today.

Until now all my three (not in CAS created) male toddlers in San Myshuno aged up heavier than they should. I never had such a problem before the Toddler Update. I cannot tell about female toddlers.

Does anybody have the same problem? Seems like a bug to me.

(EDIT) I moved one family with a female toddler (created in CAS) from San Myshuno to Newcrest and the mother got pregnant with a second child (gameplay). Both girls grow up "normal".

Then I created a family with two toddlers (girl and boy) in CAS and moved them all to San Myshuno. Both children grow up normal after forcing them to age up early.

I've had this too, since the patch everyone is heavier. 

Is anyone happy upload your save game and advise of the Sims impacted?

If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload and post your sims names here.

Please make sure to name the zip file with your user name.

@IrishMadCat_EA: I loaded up my saves folder!

The name of the Sim boy (child) is Ken Bach. His father Felix Bach (young adult) aged up heavier than he should as well. Both live in Newcrest but Felix was born in San Myshuno.

Thank you for having a look into it! (^-^)

My save files is loaded! 🙂 

In my game the problem happens when I impregnate or get pregnated by any homeless Sim generated by the game. 

Edit: In this recent save game I didn't made this experience yet because it's a new game. So if you want I can get impregnated by one and upload the save again! 🙂 

Thank you both

Hi everyone I'm at my wit's end here I'd really appreciate some help.

Whenever I age up a male baby into a toddler, it is always overweight. Even if it has skinny parents and is aged up right after being born/adopted, the toddler is still overweight and when I look at it in CAS the slider is all the way at the top. I have no issue with overweight people but it's frustrating that all my male sims are one body type and I can tell it's a bug.

I have never used mods/cc, my game is fully up to date and I've tried reinstalling it twice. I don't know what to do and it's extremely frustrating.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions because I'm not sure why I'm having this issue.
