Thinness capped at .5?
Louisb:
I accept that my intuition regarding weight loss was incorrect. Regardless, it seems odd and disappointing that it would be impossible for a non-thin-created Sim to access a quarter of the body-weight continuum.
The only slider mods I have are the ones that came with AwesomeMod. I was able to create-a-Sim with maximum thinness and beefiness; he maintained that body profile throughout his life.
I downloaded the Better Body Sculptor from sims3tinkers which eliminates its possibility to fail; it turns out that the extremely common "failures" I've been suffering are apparently overflows on the Thinness value - it rolls back down to zero once I increase it past about .55 with the Sculptor.
So all of those explanations and solutions are no-gos, unfortunately.

More than that, really. There aren't any mechanisms in the game that really cause a sim to lose beefiness below their created level, so if you create a sim with maximum beefy-arm, they wil pretty much stay that way.

then again do really muscular people in real life ever lose the muscle? most that i've seen who've gotten out of shape still look muscular, they just have a layer of fat over the muscles...

That's actually what I though too. Just as originally fat sims will plump back up to fat after a while, even after losing it with cardio. However Awesome mod does help that occur not so rapidly.

This is something with which I must respectfully disagree. The difference between an "emaciated stick" and a regular person is simply the quantity of possessed body fat (and muscle, but that's handled separately in The Sims). If cardio exercise causes a decrease in body fat, it should cause a shift towards Thinness=1 regardless of where the sim is along the thinness/fatness spectrum.
Yeah, well, the single variable "Thinness" in TS3 handles a number of things, not all of which are purely fat-based. Otherwise, taking a sim to absolute MINIMUM thinness AND muscle would make them look entirely like a famine victim with protruding ribs and whatnot.
It irritates me that this is not possible. The upper limit of the fatness slider in TS3 CAS is huge and whale-like, but the lower limit just looks normal, and not especially skinny. This is particularly irritating with children, who should normally look quite skinny unless they have whaletards for parents.
