Narcissa Vatos: Blank Favorites and Perpetual Obesity
Nimrod:
Quick back-drop; I'm playing all famblies with aging and other such turned off. I want to sit back and let storymode roll for awhile but thought I'd at least give all the existing sims mostly the best traits, reach their LTW and have several skills maxed. Max logic on all of them so that maybe the game engine will produce tutored and trained offspring by time I get back around to each of the households. Through other households, I've befriended many of the obese sims, invited them over and trained them. With moderate success too!
So I've reached the DeMayo house, in no particular order. What I found was that Narcissa has no favorites, see photo. http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss310/Nimrod_album/NewBitmapImage3.jpg
I've searched MATY exclusively and there are no answers to the string "blank, no, zero favorites". So... what say ye?
Aside, this sim gets fat even if she eats nothing but grapes! She goes to work, comes back fat. She's Five Star Chef, so I dunno. Her roommate has the same career and level, yet she doesn't come home fat. In the photo, she's gained weight just from sleeping! She ran many miles the night before and was rail skinny. This is a recurring problem and I can only guess that "natural cook" or a combination with other traits is producing this effect. I had noticed that once she was trained elsewhere, a few days later her obesity had returned. Other sims with the "natural cook" trait haven't exibited this flaw, as of yet at least. I'm curious if anyone has noticed this situation with their sims?
BastDawn:
The no-favorites thing is weird, but fat sims who lose weight tend to gain it quickly, just as thin sims who gain weight tend to lose it quickly: the game works to keep sims at their "natural" body weight. It's surprisingly realistic.
J. M. Pescado:
I'm not sure if violating the law of conservation of mass qualifies as realistic. You'd think they'd at least wait until you can't see them to abstract in their tendency to be fatasses. Unfortunately, the game is fighting against two distinct issues: 1. The desire of players to have sims remain as they were made, and 2. The desire for players to have an effect on the system. These issues sort of conflict with each other to produce the situation we have now.
Death-Jester:
I have found it a pain to get my Sims slim, and stay slim. And it seems more than just overeating or what have you, because sometimes it will only take one meal to turn them from skinny back to fat.

I like how realistic it is. I always hated that my fat sims could become skinny and stay that way after only one session on the bike. If being slim was that easy in real life there would be very few overweight people.
