Seems like a lot of things affect weight. I was rail-thin until I got married, then after a couple of decades I was up to 300 pounds. Switched from a 2 liter of regular Coke a day to diet Coke and lost 30 pounds in as many weeks. Altered my diet slightly and I'm down to 240 at the moment, where it seems to have stabilized.
My wife is 4'11", and weighed 84 pounds when I met her at age 18. When I was 300 pounds, she was around 180. She'd dropped a little by the time she was diagnosed with diabetes. She started watching her diet carefully, limiting portions and severely limiting carb intake, and she's now down to 108 after about a year and a half.
I think it would have been better if she'd stopped losing around 120.

And there ya go! That's one of the advantages men have over women (and BTW, congratulations to both you and your wife! What accomplishment!). My sister who is diabetic said her doctor was talking with her about weight loss one day. He said in order for a man to lose weight all he has to do is cut out one piece of bread a day and he starts losing. Sure, maybe it'll be slowly, but he'll be losing. Yet in order for a woman to lose weight she's got to about half-starve herself. I was on that yo-yo for something like 20 years. I followed plan after plan after plan and nothing worked. Finally, reading up on blood sugar problems and how they affect weight put me onto a controlled carbohydrate plan. Eating 2000 calories a day and with no additional exercise, I lost 30 pounds in 5 months (I started out at around 230 pounds)! Unfortunately doctors see obesity as a risk factor for diabetes when that's not really the case. If one is obese they're already well on their way to becoming diabetic. They're fat because their body isn't properly metabolizing the sugars they're ingesting. The best thing is about cutting the carbs (no sugar or white flours for me--maybe a piece of whole wheat toast with my meat and veggies for breakfast, a serving or two of low-glycemic fruit in a day, and lots and lots of nutritious veggies!) is that it also cut my hunger (another indication of blood sugar problems), and since losing that and more I've been able to maintain for almost a year now with no problem. I still have some more I want to lose and I'll get back to it eventually. But in the meantime I'm maintaining which is HUGE progress.
Motoki I wasn't necessarily offended at using fatness for a turn-off, it's just to me it doesn't seem fair. Of course I won't use fitness as a turn-off either and I'll occasionally use one or the other as turn-ons. I know there's no real good reason for the fat sims (other than it could be programmed that way) but at the same time they give more variety to my game so I tend to use them. I get tired of looking at all the same kind of bodies constantly. And I don't see any difference at all between normal and fit so that's no help at all. ;)
Pescado we all know about your obsession with the whole sleep thing is for wusses. I really wished I had stopped believing that before it ruined my health. ;) BTW, my mom would've slept even less if it hadn't been for the fact she kept having heart attacks at the rate of one every two or three years. When she got too tired her heart bothered her. That's why she slept as much as she did. Lame excuse, I know, but there you have it. LOL
But at any rate! This thread is about turn-offs and I will say again I'd love to see some that are practical. I guess having formalwear, underwear or swimwear would be okay for a turn-on for a romance sim who might never end up with a mate for life and only spends time with other sims while they're in those clothes but they don't seem real practical for most sims.

i would love a greater variety of turn ons and turn offs but for the moment were stuck with what Maxis decided were good ones
