Pregnancy body changes different per sim? Body changes after multiple births?

So I've only had 2 sims get pregnant recently and after reloading a save had the same sim pregnant again for the first time.

What I noticed (lets call her Alice) body changed the same way both times and then she COMPLETELY reverted to her original body shape.

To be fair I didn't change her diet so she didn't add any new weight gain besides pregnancy, but I was surprised that both times she looked exactly the same. I thought it might be more random.

I've seen people post pictures of Sims with MASSIVE body changes during pregnancy and if anything my sim looked skinny pregnant both times.

So I have 3 questions I'm hoping the community can answer based off your experiences with pregnancy that I haven't seen asked after searching.

1. If a Sims has multiple children, say 1 after another does their body appear the same each time their pregnant (I DONT mean after) or have you seen times where they get bigger or smaller then previous pregnancy? Again I mean during the pregnancy when the game automatically changes their body.

2. Has anybody noticed any significant body changes to sims who have had multiple births after pregnancy that the game made by itself that can't be changed without editing in CAS.

3. Is the only way for a sim to gain weight after a pregnancy, is by eating more during pregnancy or will the game automatically sometimes add a few pounds regardless if they eat or exercise more or less during pregnancy?

Basically I'm wondering how much the game actually changes a sims body, how random it is and if it ever makes any permanent changes outside of weight gain like expanding body sliders like you would in CAS?

I'm asking because I want their to be changes in sims bodies like real life, and if the game isn't doing it by random then I might have my sim eat more each time she gets pregnant so that way she gets a little bigger afterwords if not just a little.

What have you noticed?

  • I find it depends on the sim. I've had Sims that their bodies "snap right back" so to speak after each pregnancy, I have Sims who become slightly curvier after a pregnancy but overall maintain their weight and I have had Sims who gain a lot with each pregnancy and have a really hard time shedding the extra weight and some never do. In one of my current saves Morgan Fyers fits this. She's had 3 kids and has become quite chubby despite gym trips and frequent jogs between pregnancies. Not that it matters, her hubby is crazy about her anyway, and is frankly developing a bit of a spread himself these days. :)

    It really is random, but I notice changes more quickly the "older" they are. My adult sims already put on a little weight, but they tend to definitely hold some pregnancy weight, while my YA sims frequently go right back to their old shape. If you want to have a little more realism, I would download KawaiiStacie's Food=Calories Mod or there is another similar mod on MTS. I use the Food=Calories and I wouldn't play without it.

    I have some that it shows they had kids they have different body shapes from when I made them like gained weight. Then I have some that are really skinny and after kids they are still skinny.


    Hm...I wonder what influences this, is it just random or is it based on pre-existing body size or traits? Or just totally random.

    Have you ever had a skinny sim, have a baby, be skinny after then have a baby and NOT be skinny the second time?

    I keep asking this second question because if the answer is generally no - then it means there is something more at play that is deciding what or why certain sims change and others don't. If the answer is yes then it is just random.

    No they are still skinny like I had a sim have 4 kids and she was skinny and I tend not to care what they eat when they are pregnant. I mean is this skinny for you after twin? ?

    Avery only got huge in the belly. He also seemed to snap back after delivery, if with slightly less definition. He ate a LOT, but it was all carrots, one garden salad, and one piece of sugar-free carob coconut cake, courtesy of the culinary hubby.


    Hm...sort of unrelated but I don't think it matters what type of food you eat just how much. Does it? Like the game doesn't actually have calories for the food does it?

    I know there is a mod that adds calories but for it to exist I'm assuming eating cake all the time without the mod wouldn't be any different then if a sim eats salads?
  • I think it depends on the Sim. I'm playing the 100 Baby Challenge. My first matriarch was super skinny before getting pregnant and probably by her 5th pregnancy she started to pack on the pounds. She had 13 kids in her generation....I got her dog, had her jog with the dog & she was able to lose some of the baby fat, but not all of it.

    But then my 2nd matriarch, she didn't gain any weight after multiple pregnancies. She stayed thin and reverted back to her original size. I'm now on my 3rd matriarch and she actually gained weight after her 1st child. She's on kid 7, and is a bit on the heavy side.

    I actually like how this is in game, as it's similar to real life. Every woman is different.
  • My vampire sim wasn't skinny before, but her hips and belly are bigger after her second pregnancy. She only eats plasma packs and plasma fruit salad and occasionally drinks from sims... I have no idea how fattening any of that is supposed to be.

    Her mother had 5 pregnancies, 4 sets of twins, but never seemed to gain permanent weight from it. She got bigger eventually because of all the birthday cakes and fancy foods she was making while maxing out both cooking skills, but not from the pregnancies themselves.
