Have your Sims gone to college? Sent my moderately skinny Sim to college and she was at the maximum fat by the end of her first term.

That happened to me too, although I thought maybe it was cuz she had a baby. Maybe a combination of the two?

I think that's when my sim got fat fast.

Uni makes sims fat.

Maybe I missed it, but no one mentioned drinks? Drinks have a ton of calories, or at least they put you over the top. Took me a while to figure it out, but I was playing a lot in nightclubs, and half the town was getting fatter. One Ridgeport has the same calories as a bowl of Mac and Cheese, so if they drink multiple drinks and eat, it adds up fast.

This happened to my sims when I first played university. Sims started out stick thin (genetically not on purpose) and graduated obese. I appreciated my roommates bringing food home everyday as it saved me a trip to the commons, but the gourmet food caused extreme weight gain. I think having your sims jog everyday might help to maintain a steady weight.

I just let my sims eat whatever they want, within reason and go on a jog every once in a while. I actually like when they gain weight, especially as they get older. When I had an eating disorder i always made extremely underweight sims and now that I'm recovered I let them enjoy their life and have some chocolate ice cream if they want. It's therapeutic for me.

But yeah, to answer your question, the sims tend to gain a lot of weight in University no matter what you do really, I think it's supposed to mimic the "freshman 15" stereotype. Eating a lot of quick meals in Uni will cause weight gain. (You'll get an uncomfortable moodlet telling you you need to eat some real food.) I recommend jogging and eating fish dishes because I think some of those are literally 0 calories for whatever reason. Garden Salad and Fruit Salad are always great easy options, too :)

Oh my god, I never realized that was the reason to why all the roommates got fat. That's kind of hilarious. But at the same time, who the heck brings lobster to university and enough to share with ALL their roommates. Dang rich kids -shakes fist in air while grabbing a plate of lobster- xD

Seriously, yep. It would be more like pizza, ramen noodles and microwave dinners. XD

My sims were getting fat too. I found if i get their fitness level to 5 they start to slim back down. Treadmill.

That's good to know. My sims tend to go fat very quickly, but they're usually couch potatoes who love to cook. If they stick to quick meals they are fine, but if they cook and keep the leftovers they get fat in a week.
