My Sim was pretty thin coming out of CAS, but it seemed she gained weight rather rapidly. I bought her a treadmill and she uses it daily. Now it seems like my Sim has become extremely muscular, but has not lost any of the weight she gained. She's rather strange looking. I don't want her muscular, either. Is there a way to get her back to the willowy Sim I created?

It seems to be a problem a lot are coming across,Sims gain weight way too easily and become a muscular block when you try and make them lose it. Apparently the 'bug' has been noted and Gurus are looking into it.

I think one thing with TS4 is their needs turn yellow when they are only halfway down and if you're like me, as soon as you see a need turn yellow you want to turn it green again. So we end up over feeding our sims. I've had to make myself ignore their need for food a bit longer and get on the treadmill a few times a week, that seems to help.

Yup, same exact thing happened with my sim. Now she looks like a goddamn body builder.

OK, I will try to feed her less often. I have been letting her eat as soon as the bar turns yellow.

I agree, I just mentioned the weight loss potion as a temporary solution. I hope they fix the bug soon! As for my username, my favorite color is green and I've been using it for over a decade. I don't even watch Arrow, but given the character's love of the color green, the club name makes sense :).

I ran into the same issue. I had tons of fun run on the treadmill repeatedly and she was back in shape. Only took one Sim day and I didn't notice any buffing up. Maybe only the lifting machine does that? Now I make her run every other day and she's yet to enlarge again.

I have my sim go jogging every once in a while, 2x around the neighborhood. It seems to work pretty well and she doesn't get real muscular either, as far as I can tell.
