Re: Thick girl got skinny, why?

I have to agree - the first sim I made in my playsave, while not very good in CAS (still am not) was so pretty to me, all round and luscious. But I gave them the career of broker, and they ate a lot of fruitcake, that horrid thing (kidding, I love it myself), and I tried to combat it with exercise, but they just lost the spark and got all toned, just like every other sim that goes to the gym.

I do think it is cute with a dynamic feature like that, having the sims gain and loose weight through gameplay; I just wish it was a little reworked. For instance, I find gyms uninteresting, so I would wish them to loose weight through other means, playing chess, programming, dancing, woohooing; and the amount they gain in weight just for having a couple of fat meals is remarkable, and perhaps a little excessive.

You do know that it was all that exercise you made them do that caused them to get toned right?
Both chess and programming is rather the opposite of working out so would tend them to gain weight instead of losing weight. Dancing will tend to give a weight loss. Woohoing could but you would have to do it like 10 times a day and that is not very realistic. Eating more calories than you burn will indeed lead to weight gain.

@jpkarlsen Hello!
Yes. I meant for my sim to regain the shape and form I had given them in CAS, changed with the weight gain; but that did not happen. I made them gain weight again, but I can't see it in them again, they lost the attraction appeal (to me).
