InThe Sims 4, interacting with Sims and the world around them is one of the main gameplay aspects outside of building and creating Sims. While players can make their Sims however they want to in Create-A-Sim, once they enter live mode, there’s a chance their Sims will change.
Just like in reality, a Sim’s appearance will change as they age and go about their day-to-day activities. One of the ways that they can be different is by losing or gaining weight. For the most part, changing weight inThe Sims 4is straightforward. It can occur naturally, but Simmers can influence their appearances through activities and more instant methods.
