for some reasons quite a few of my toddlers grew into fat kids, and I try to exercise like playing basket ball, swimming etc and got their motor skills to 10, but they NEVER slim down! So the question, Kid's physique is not influenced by their activity at all? it is fixed isn't it? When they eventually grew into a fat teen, I could exercise them to slim down... is it a common problem?

My children are usually bigger too, it doesn't really bother me but I've seen somewhere that if you don't feed them often they'll get skinny :flushed:

Try waiting until your toddlers hungry needs are actually in the yellow or red before feeding them. Also monitor what they're eating those free meals are nice but they're probably fairly "fatty." All the food in the game has a calorie count.

My sims toddler gets berries from his pockets to just nudge out of the yellow :)

Buy the playground sets/monkey bars and build up the motor skills. They SHED pounds for me. More often than not I have sims who are way too skinny cause they over played.

All of my children are too skinny, especially the energetic ones. I would say the monkey bars work too good.

can fat kids get slim at all? | EA Forums

Yeah, be careful with the monkey bars cause it doesn't take too long before they're skin and bones

My sims chubby kids lose weight on the monkey bars when I get their motor skill up. I haven't been having much trouble with my kids being chubby since the toddler update but before the update every one of my kids aged up with the fat slider all the way up.

I have a UFO plant. I leave the fruit around the house so the tots have something grab if they're feeling snacky.
