I made sure not to use the lifting machines, I didn't want her to gain muscles, just lose weight. I will try the feeding her less often. It takes a really long time to earn reward points in this game, so I have not wanted to waste what I have on potions. I am saving up for the no sleep one. I haven't found a way to keep the emotions around for more than an hour or two. With how long it takes a Sim to finish a task now, the emotion always seems to disappear before I get the chance to choose the emotion task for reward points. Then the emotion changes, and the task changes, but the emotion changes again before I can stop the expired task and start the new one. I found I have had to pretty much ignore the first emotion based task and just go with the second and third tasks.
