It’s still probably a good idea to show interest and discuss it, since that will increase the probability that someone who does have the means and desire to create the mod will stumble across the thread.

This would be excellent, especially considering that the Terraria staff released the final update for the game.

eating food will make the player gain weight, some more than others. on that note animals will drop food that can be cooked. to cook said food you will need a oven. oven crafting recipe is as followed, 5 iron or lead bars 20 of any wood, and 20 torches.
With all the new food added, I think a new NPC questgiver would make sense. It would be like the fishing quests except you find a specific enemy or tree food drop.
i would see that working.
honestly i kind of want to say, ideas are nice, but like, there is only SO much you can do in an engine that doesn’t require TONS of spiriting and coding and whatnot
complex weight gain systems in a 2d sprite game would be nice, but there’d be so much effort that you’d have to put into it. like look at stardew, there’s a weight gain mod that’s been in work for a LONG while, but as it is all there is to it is just some sprite and text replacements
all i’m saying is, a basic sprite replacement for some enemies and NPCs would work better as a start, rather than “complex system where every character has a favorite food that makes them gain weight more”

it would seem nice. maybe if we can think of other things we may be able to come up with something
I just got an idea today, but I’m not making another thread, post or whatever because the essence of the idea is still here.
I have been enjoying games that came from here, and I’d like to provide something for this community.
And I remembered that the tModLoader just got launched a few months ago, I did a little research and found out that I could actually do something here; tModLoader uses C# for coding, and mod projects can be used by the IDE of Visual Studio, so it’s perfect for modding because VS can debug in the game.
The first thing I thought it was a mod for the Dryad NPC.
I guess you have already figured out the inspiration; the Mystery Dad’s Dryad
After looking at this post I see now that to make it worth it I don’t have to limit this mod to a single NPC.
First thing I would look up to make is to change the sprites for the Dryad ('cause honestly, she’s one of my favorites).
After that it would be to look the way to make the mechanics of weight gain. That’s another thing to discuss, I guess.
Although, I would need a hand because drawing it’s not something I’m very good at; even if it’s pixel art.
Very interesting idea I look forward to do.
I don’t think I could make it soon because my semester isn’t over yet, I may have some projects for work and because I have to read the documentation for tModLoader (which is not little).

Yeah, i agree with @xoyv on this, As i am decently new to Terraria modding, Adding physical changes to a character caused by any buff/debuff (eating food, getting hit by a slime, ect) Would require SO much complex coding, and honestly im not sure if having weight gain on the same armor set is possible. BUT there is a way around it, Just sprite an entirely new armor with the newfound fats, or just resprite an existing armor. So that brings me to why i made an account here today after LURKING for years now without an account. I made a mod that adds a vanity set of a fat chick. I used one of my other mods as a base, and just altered it. I made it a while ago actually, but i just made it for myself 
Well, Im not too sure if i want to publish this on the mod browser, because of the content of this mod, so ill just post the source code here when i can, because im a new user right now, and i can’t post files.

Nice idea lad, keep up the good work
Ok fellas, Here is the vanity set. This is all i was able to do, because i can only sprite, and not really code. just slap this in your ModLoader Mod Sources folder, and then use tmodloader’s developer mode to build it, and you should be good to roll.

late but, what they gave is a working mod. you just also need cheat mod to access the items.

i could make a fat npc that sells wg vanity items but i do not have the terraria smarts
This is close to how I’d implement it. My idea though was to make a new NPC similar to the angler, they’d give you a quest each day to find one of the game’s food items and they’d give you random stuff as a reward. Give them enough and you could unlock the option to change the other NPCs appearance (either through them or an item they give you).
I’m pretty dumb I still don’t know how to install this, I put it in a mod folder but I don’t see it in game
I saw recently that someone released a ‘Waifu’ mod for terraria that seems like it could be a decent base for this idea.
might just be easier to get fat sprites. tmodloader 1.4 alpha seems to be going well so i would honestly wait till it smooths itself out
It would be doable with the waifu Terraria sprites and I’m pretty sure they are an open resource made by an anonymous contributor, but I could be mistaken.
With that being said, if you look at how food currently works in Terraria, they give you a degree of “satisfaction” based on how filling the food is, ranging from a snack to “completely satisfied” and then there are associated time durations. Some foods that are extremely filling only last 8 minutes while some last upwards of 20.
My suggestion would be that based on how “filling” a food is and how long it remains “active” and whether or not you’re already “full” would determine weight-gain and duration.
If you’re already eaten an extremely filling food with a long lasting effect and then you eat that same food again, you will start to have the weight-gain effect and it will last for the duration of the buff, but just like in real life, if you only eat when you’re effectively hungry, then you will gain little to no weight.
If you imagine eating 3 medium level meals a day is equal to 2,000 calories then anything above or below that would induce a change in your weight. Sugary foods and alcohol could also be contributing factors.
I guess there could also be something about your physical activity tied in, but that’s a bit difficult as Terraria doesn’t have a stamina value to draw information from.
The appearance of gaining weight could be tied into temporary vanity armor that locks into your vanity slot. It could just knock your current vanity clothing back into your inventory and eventually there could even be some sprites for plus-sized armor and vanity items instead of just being naked or in underwear.
