As for using the slim potion, I don't consider those options to be cheating. You've earned those things through game play.

You're right, that's a good way to see it :)

132 hours of gameplay and used my first cheat (and now probably not my last!) I used cheats all the time in Sims 3! Thanks everyone for the help!

She is a teen or I would ^^

Same thing happened with one of my adopted Sims. When he aged to teen he was a chubby boy, I got his fitness all the way to 10 (max thinness/muscle) and he still had a bit of a belly - under his rock hard abs XD. Had to go into CAS to make it go away :)

I think the slim potion is the only way to change their genetic body shape because my Sim spends hours on the treadmill and can't lose weight. Worst still was after lifting weights at the gym, he became super bulked up though still fat. I have him go to the gym everyday to run so I can see if he does lose weight, but it's not happening yet.

edit. As Juana explained below, once the Sims are created with that body shape it won't change - the insta lean potion had no effect for my Sim because he was already as lean as he's going to be :(

It depends on how the body is initially constructed, I believe.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that EA really went into detail to allow the bodies to look like real people. I'm not sure what the anatomical term is or what part of the body causes this, but some people's stomach sticks out more than other people. They can be really fit and have no body fat, but their stomach still has this curve type of thing to it - it's just the way their body is shaped.

To fix this:
In CAS, you can choose to drag the stomach in or out - this is a permanent body characteristic and this is entirely different from the fat or skinny slider. In order to get rid of it, you need to drag the slider to skinniest and then drag the stomach as far in or out as you want it to be.

I'm not sure if any of that made sense. I had a difficult time articulating it into words. Sorry!

This is what I ended up doing! My first time cheating in the game, but I really wanted her to live her body building goal!

I had a baby and exercised afterwards and it went away

Hey there,

Since this thread had been inactive since 2014 and had come to a natural conclusion, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.
