Once I learned that Sims' food has hidden calories, I started making sure the fridge was stocked with fish-themed dinners. They're lazy, so they'll grab leftovers rather than making butternut gnocchi, and so they stay the weight I set them at. If not for calories, I wouldn't care at all.Do you care? Comment to tell me why!Edit:For the curious, a guide on calories, hunger, and weight in Sims 4: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/calories.php

Yes, but not always. I have Sims that I want to stay the way they are, I let them eat food that won't make them gain weight. Then I have Sims that I won't mind getting some extra weight, they can eat more variety of foods.I never usually make my Sims eat cakes unless it's someone's birthday, except I have one household which includes two women who eat cakes, ice creams and all the other high calorie foods all the time. The other one of them is a glutton and the other one is a cook. ;)

Absolutely! Would I have my sim eat the random townie that strolls past their home? No, we're going for the choice cuts -- the Calientes, the BFFs, the Fengs, the Best of Friends, etc. Why eat Spam when you can have London Broil?

I care what they eat in the sense that I like to think they have preferences for some foods over others. I have some Sims where they primarily eat foods that require using chopsticks, or some Sims preference fish and white meat over red meat, stuff like that. Not necessarily keeping in mind weight/calories.

I let them eat tons of junk food then go to CAS and pull their stomachs in ????

I have mine eat ‘breakfast’ foods in the morning and other meals in the evening.I also try to set myself a rule that they can only make meals including fresh ingredients IF they have the fresh ingredients.Guess that makes me super picky.When and only when I notice a Sim is getting ‘chubby’ do I put them on a ‘diet’ ;)

Not per se, but if your sims go around eating roast chicken every day they will pack on the pounds.

Which is one of those weird sims nutrition things, because so many of the "gourmet" dishes that pack on the sims pounds are super-nutritious in real life. I mean... roast chicken is literally just chicken with maybe lemon juice, maybe herbs, maybe vegetables. It's incredibly low-cal.

Huh. Wild. I didn't even realize that.

It's difficult to keep track of what they eat. Especially because they get hungry so often. I don't mind having plus sized sims either. They can't die of not eating well so what's the point?
