thank you that should help
What happens when you gain weight? I only managed to gain a little and it took a long time, so I was just wondering what happens when your character becomes more fat.
@anon21806965 I know it’s slow to start with, but lots of things do change: new career paths open up, there are different interactions with NPCs, and obviously description changes.
I suspect that’s your problem. You need to keep an eye on health and well-being as there are penalties for letting these get low, and benefits from maxing them out. To start with walk everywhere, and do additional walking if you can.
Thanks. @dingotush
But sadly it didn’t work. I was so healthy that I got an extra activity (so 6 instead if 5) and filled the food bar before going to sleep, but the character keeps loosing weight…
Does the game keep track of whenever you drink stuff or not? It fills the same bar so I assumed it’s not important.
Anyways there’s one event I’m rather interested in, so if you know the fat version of it, then could you tell me? So at night when somone tries to break in, you grab a knife, the thief runs off, the police comes, you have to wait in your nightwear and the cops like what they see. Is there an alternative version of this event when you get fat?
Oh and one more thing: When you work as a teacher the kids love you. Does this have an alternative version when you get fat?
I had a look in the code and neither the thief event or the teacher job seem to have variants in v0.12. Sorry.
The fullness bar is a little misleading I think. The 3/4 point is the “neutral” value when you sleep. To gain it has to be fuller than that (and your stress/wellbeing needs to be good). Internally it goes up to 150% full before you get ill overnight.
I have been having success with gaining by eating until I can’t eat anymore then taking a nap in the morning to “cure” my sick or unwell state. As long as you include some fruit in your diet so your health always returns to good or better then you should stay healthy and gain a pound or more a day.
I also have taken some appetite boosters so I gain about 6 pounds a day.
The worst my health got doing this was “Bad” because I stopped eating fruit for a while. Once I included more fruit in my diet my health went back up and I just felt sick form overeating ever other day.

I have a question, ive played through most of the game and never figured out a way to find out your own weight besides some obscure event at the pool, have i missed something? i cant find a scale or anything.
@Silver Top right, click on the word “Me”.
damn im an idiot, cheers mate.
I probably misunderstood something but my character keeps losing weight even though the character has excellent health, care free wellbeing and always full when going to bed. The only thing i let her do is walking one time for health, some videos for the website and talking with the friend. The food i give her is usually a banana for health and then cheese fondue and ice cream (top heavy focus).
@Naphy You may be getting in to trouble by focusing on weight gain in a specific part to start with. I’m not sure the maths/logic in the game makes sense, but I think it is the case that weight you gain in one part is subtracted from your “fat” and doesn’t add to your weight.
So my Character still “gains” weight in the Chest Area but it doesnt count for the weight in general? And to counter that my character should eat more food with “fat” or am i wrong?
I got it wrong, or rather miss-remembered it. The weight gain system is, in my opinion, complicated and certainly difficult to understand or explain. I’m a coder, have looked at the code in detail, and it doesn’t make sense to me. I’d go as far as saying it is wrong - certainly you can get division by zero errors later in the game (don’t consume too many part enhancing pills).
There are variables for hunger (faim), fat (gras), and body, boob, belly, and butt fat.
When you eat something it adds to the first two, and optionally the others.
At the end of the day:
Hunger Max
$ faimmaxChange((faim - facfaim)/40)
If your hunger bar is less than 100% full you can eat slightly less the following day, if it’s more than 100% full (but less than 200% full - makes you ill before here) you can eat slightly more the following day. So you want it to be over full.
Fat
$ grasChange((faim - faimmax)/4)
The level of fat (in your gut) is made lower if your bar is less than 100% full, increased if it’s more than 100% full. It’s then adjusted towards zero depending on stress. Again you want that hunger bar over full.
Adjust body parts
$ bellChange(gras/(16-ptcc))
$ boobChange(gras/(20-ptaa))
$ buttChange(gras/(20-ptbb))
$ bodfatChange(gras/10)
The ‘fat’ is distributed to the body parts. The ptcc etc variables are how many pills you’ve eaten for that body part. The ‘fat’ can be negative, reducing these parts. These divisions can end up being a source of divide-by-zero errors.
Then there’s this:
if gras > 0:
$ grasChange(-((gras/(1+(10-ptaa)))+(gras/(1+(10-ptbb)))+(gras/(1+(10-ptcc)))+(gras/4)))
elif gras < 0:
$ grasChange(((gras/(1+(10-ptaa)))+(gras/(1+(10-ptbb)))+(gras/(1+(10-ptcc)))+(gras/4)))
It can take away more fat than was allocated to the body parts, and can also cause division by zero. Don’t understand the reason behind this.
Reduce hunger bar
$ faimChange(-(faimmax/1.5))
Takes away 2/3rds of its “maximum” value.
New weight
$ kg = kgbase + ((bell + (butt*0.7) + (boob*0.5) + bodfat)/82)
Adds up the weight of each part with a bunch of fiddle factors (why?) and a seemingly random 82. Why isn’t it just a straight sum?
So:
Banana: +1 boobs
Cheese fondue: +5 fat +3 to boobs
Ice cream: +1 fat, +2 to boobs
Assume you’ve eaten no pills but you did allocate 9 points to boobs and choose to bring ice-cream at the start (so ptaa = 10), you aren’t stressed, and your hunger bar is exactly 100% full.
Hunger max is unchanged
Fat is unchanged at +6. Boobs are currently +6.
The body part stuff adds 0.37 to the belly, 0.6 to the boobs (now 6.6), 0.3 to the butt, and 0.6 to the body.
Then (6 + 6/11 + 6/11 + 6/4) 8.5 is subtracted from fat, leaving a deficit of -2.5 in the system.
Your weight changes by (0.37+0.30.7+6.60.5+0.6)/82 or 0.052
If you eat another 6 fat the day after that takes it back up to 3.5, but some jobs and exercise also reduce fat in the system by at least 5 so it can become negative. The gym event can reduce it by 100 or more. Then you are going to be struggling to get it back positive, especially if you’ve allowed you hunger maximum to fall.
I hope that helps!

Quick question, I’ve been playing through the game and I’m at the part with the friend were they whisper in your ear put my character doesn’t hear her. Is there a point in the game when I can hear it, and if so, what triggers it?
AFAIK that hasn’t been written/released yet.
Hey everyone - I’ve happened upon it before, but now I’m having trouble replicating it - how do you buy the research lab?
Work there once and then get enough money to buy it in the buy tab.
