Hey all,
In the course of my investigations into the Sims 4 I found a mod that not only tells you what the numerical weight value for your sims is, it allows you to change it in real time, along with a bunch of other stuff that’s really cool to play around with (including adjusting the size of individual body parts) for both household members and NPCs.
The mod’s name is MC Command Center. To adjust weight go into the main MCCC menu by clicking on a sim, then go to “MC CAS,” “Set Physique” and “Set Fatness,” then type in a number from -100 to 100 (this works fine with the roBurky mod in my experience)
Using an in-game Sim computer you can also set minimum (or maximum) values for both fitness and fatness, which is pretty cool if you want a world where everyone’s at least a little chunky. Just like in normal play you have to save or otherwise update the game state for eating/spells/cheats/whatever to affect the numbers.
One thing I also discovered through this mod: making Sims with the weight slider at 0 sets their weight by default at around -80. Weight doesn’t actually start to increase until you get into the positives, so it was taking a lot longer for my sims to fill out than it should have. You can set the minimum weight to 0 through the computer or just manually adjust it so it isn’t a problem anymore. I really appreciate this mod because it allows me to quantify how quickly specific things make sims gain, which is always fun and useful.
