    So both of my sims got fat and i don't understand how?

    My two sims went gym once a week, they only ate when they were hungry which was like two meals a day but my female sim fatness was at the top and the male was nearly at the top. (i had to use testingcheat true cheat to make them skinny on cas again) is this a bug or is it normal?

      Depends on what they've been eating, each food has a different calorie value.

      How do you even find out about the calorie value?

      There's a list of the calories but from my experience, it really does not do much of a difference since you are only making them eat when they're hungry. It shouldn't make their fat level at the maximum level.

      Did they by any chance it the Weight of The World ice cream? That could make them really fat fast.

      Did they become fat slowly or was it all of a sudden?

      From a lot of guide websites, the only eating when hungry thing is a myth and the calories count way more. This is what I've found in my game as well after experimenting but I am no way in a position to confirm it or not.

      Eat things like fish tacos and salad and you'll be fine. Avoid lobster though and baked goods.

      And what sort of gym work out did they do? Some will build muscle but not decrease fat, so if you do these ones they will not ever burn the calories they eat. (Others are the opposite. For weight loss use treadmills, but these don't help at all with building muscle).

      I had an entire household get fat and realized that the gourmet cooking is really high in calories. I found a calories list here.

      This! I used to have this problem but the guide really helped me. In short, don't eat gourmet cooking. It's really high in calories. If you eat a regular meal you should be fine. Also, for children don't feed the baby every time they cry. Use shoosh instead and they should go back to sleep. Over feeding them can lead to your sims being bigger when they age up. I hope this helps you.

      Something peculiar happened in my game. I had my chef Sim visit the Bheedas where he cooked some meals for them and soon after left. He did this a couple of times. Now both Bheedas are quite obese - Jesminder in particular, she's very heavy now.

      It's wierd but I've also had a handful of Sims that got fat as well. It seemed to happen when I hadn't played them in a while. I got tired of seeing this so for one of my Sims, I added a treadmill to their Penthouse apartment but they went too crazy and got too muscular as well as skinny! I was like wow, let me remove that since that Sim was going to crazy with it. However, with other Sims it doesn't seem to work at all and they get fatter and fatter. I think it helps to adjust their traits, then, put workout equipment nearby. Oh and I think using the bicycle with the DU pack should help as well.

      If they’re in university it’s normal, with all that lobster roommates bring all my sims out on weight. Otherwise make them go running it’s good to lose the weight (if only it was as easy for me as in the sims !).

      It should be pointed out that in RL certain salads are also fattening. So eating mostly salads is NOT the way to keep lean. It's most likely the type of workout the Sims are doing. I use MCCC to freeze physique. I used to just haul my family into cas.fulleditmode and fix the problem that way, but for a time it used to mes with their ages, so once I discovered the Flags command on the MCCC mod, I have fixed the problem.

      Actually that's true in Sims as well about salads. I should have clarified that by salads i meant the basic garden salad only that you can make off the bat.

      Fish and chips are another good one. Sims version has 0 calories. Too bad that wasn't the case in rl haha

      My first guy gained some weight on his adult birthday. I've learned that they get a special "trait" related to their first aspiration, so if you choose the bodybuilder one for them, then they automatically get a high metabolism! So all of my sims start with bodybuilder now and then I just change it after loading into the game. Haven't had a weight problem since!

      When you complete an aspiration you get a trait as well even if it's not the first one. My current sim has a huge list of traits as she's completed almost every aspiration in the game haha

      My sims gain weight when I'm not playing them. I play rotational and I see them a lot.

      If you want a quick fix without going to cas have them eat taste of diet ice cream.

      Sims don't burn calories through everyday movement, only through exercise equipment, swimming, riding bikes, and kicking soccer balls.

      Another thing is if you own city lov3ing and play on apartments I noticed the same sims will constantly eat at the food stands and pack on rhe3 pounds without you knowing. I had to mod that out for sims to eat less at them.

      And how much of an effect does it have? Do they just get a little slimmer, or...?

      My sim went back to her start size after one helping, maybe a little slimmer. 2 helpings make them go real thin

      I must be the only one who does not see my sims gain weight as a "problem" or something that needs a "instant fix" :D I watch what my sims eat, and I make them use certain gym machines for desired effect. And sometimes it is the sim her/himself who simply tries to tell me she/he wants to have the weight, and wants to eat cakes, cookies and stuff and is fine with it :)
