So, I finally posted a story and screenshots from The Sims 3. It's about a family I made to test the fitness sliders.



Don't say I never give you nothin'. ;)

Here is the actual story/gallery. Enjoy!

Why can't it be that easy in RL?

I wonder if what they tend to fluctuate towards has to do with how they were made in CAS/entered into adulthood? I've played a couple of sims from both sides of the fitness spectrum, and the ones that I made skinny seem to not slide into the heavier spectrum so quickly.

I'm almost certain you're right, actually. I haven't had this problem with any other family I've played. I did notice that they seem to slowly go back, and over time they don't go much farther.

Their child doesn't appear to be huge, either. He seems to be around the body shape they were when he was born. Of course, that's because cosmetic changes in this game are apparently genetic, so hey.

I KNOW!! I was like "Damn, I need to get myself a treadmill!"

I noticed that too. It really caught me offguard when I changed the mother's haircolour and the child ended up with the "dyed" colour. ... I hope that's something that gets fixed fairly soon.

No censor patch, huh? I feel dirty for asking, but if you catch a glimpse of the front with the patch, are they anatomically correct or just like Ken (Blake?) and Barbie dolls?

Pescado is working on some of the genetics garbage. I'm hoping it all sorts itself out soon.

Ken dolls. Just like Sims 2. Until someone makes a cock-mod. Not that I ever used one in Sims 2 or anything...

And they don't have hair down there either. Someone needs to fix that, too.

The "adult" default replaement skins are in the works. There is already a "clean" version that has a sprinkling of body hair.

No one has managed individual skins fir each Sim yet though. I am hoping they do something like they did when they replaced the Sun Burn in Vacation with various body hair patterns and all you had to do was keep the box in your inventory to have a hairy sim. But yeah, Body Hair is the thing I am missing most at this point. AlanBBQ made some amazing skins for 1 and 2, but looks like he has left the world of Simming. Surely someone will pick up his work and continue...

I want something with a bit more control than what we've had in the past. I know in Sims 2 it would be possible. The cock controller than Crammyboy did could control hair options for it, so I imagine it could be simple to control body hair the same way (and alter the colors via a menu). Whether or not someone will get that working relatively soon with Sims 3 is another story.

It could be added as an outfit accessory, but they'd need to sort out which outfit controls the naked skin used. One of my sims wears a necklace when naked, and I need to figure out which outfit of his has a necklace. Heh.

And we need more facial hair. Like a Van Dyke that doesn't look like some greasy kid who can't grow facial hair is trying to be a man or something.
