Feedback: The Fat and Muscle System Needs to be Better Tuned

The system with fat, muscle, exercise, and calories in TS4 really needs to be better tuned. Some examples of what I've seen in my game: - A sim who never exercises but only eats garden salad got ...

I did some testing with some pre-mades.

Grace Anansi ate only HALF portions of garden salad (the food with least amount of calories), never filling the hunger bar, for a week:

Cameron Fletcher kicked a soccer ball until he dropped it:

Julia Wright kicked a soccer ball until she dropped it (I forgot to change her clothes to something where the change is more visible, and I already changed her fat and muscle sliders back to original):

Is this really by design or is it a bug? Should this thread be moved to bug reports? I don't use any mods and have never done, this has been a problem ever since I started playing The Sims 4 in 2017.


Edit:

@crinrict  Hi, do you think this is actually a bug and should be moved from "General Discussion & Feedback" to "Bug Reports"? The more I test around with this the more I feel like this can't be by design.

    I feel like this is definitely getting worse. I have Sims with 10 fitness skill, I've switched households and then seen them later and they are almost double the size. I want my Sims to be different shapes and sizes and when I switch households I want them to stay that shape.

      @simsplayer818 In one of my saves Gemma Charm basically turned into a stick when I played in Glimmerbrook. I have never seen her jog by or anything, and I've never gone to a gym in that save file, so I don't know how or when she got so thin. Just as you say, I want sims to be different shapes and sizes, and stay that shape and size when switching between households.

        @SqueamishNerd I feel like either adding Horse Ranch or the patch before it's release has made it worse. I'll add some images tomorrow.
        Penny Pzazz is one Sim that is different sizes every time I see her and she's not one of my played Sims.
