I will likely get some poor lonely person trying to put me down for this comment but that bigger female sim looks beautiful while the skinny ones in my opinion look horrible, and skeletal in comparison. Kudos to EA for not making heavier sims overly-ugly this time around. Seeing those screenshots makes me feel that playing with sims weight in CAS will be worth it this time around, thank you for sharing OP .

See that was rude. I'm not a poor lonely person, but I'm offended by that statement. Saying that the overweight female is beautiful, while the skinny sim is ugly, skeletal, and horrible is downright insulting.

If the roles were reversed and someone called the overweight sim a horrible, ugly pig, there would be a riot! Everyone would be telling that person that they are mean, and that the woman is "perfect". Yet, no one sticks up for the skinny one. :roll:

If you prefer bigger women/men, that's fine, but there's no need to insult skinny people.

No one should be insulting anyone but I have to disagree. There have been many comments about the over weight sim and there is no riot, basically some people here think that if you are over weight all you do is eat mcdonalds and you ride on wheelchairs, but if your skinny then you have an eating disorder or some other disease. I have some over weight friends and believe me they get a lot of hate, teasing (even as adults) and no one cares or says they are beautiful or that the person being rude is mean, but my skinny friends (even overly skinny friends) barely get any comments or teasing (and this includes in highschool). I am just saying that for a long time people teased and treated over weight people horribly while skinny people are more accepted. That is not to say that what you went through was any less hurtful, but it just seems that over weight people get much more hate and always have.

I was talking out of personal things I have witnessed either socially or online. Where people stick up for overweight people, specifically women, when being made fun of, but when it comes to skinny women they are "anorexic", and skinny men "need to eat more meat". This is just what I've seen throughout school, and some personal experiences, but mostly from what I've witnessed.

I agree that overweight people have a lot more pressure in society regarding how they should look, and I agree with you that it is unacceptable to make fun of anyone's weight. I have always, and will always, stick up for anyone what size they are, whenever someone makes fun of them.

I think we both agree that making fun of someone, no matter what their size is, is wrong.
