Thought it would be good to post links here on Mods that allow weight gain or just increase the weight of the character in those games.
I’d like to start with Skyrim. I used to play this a lot and even ran a thread for Bodyslide mods.
So Bodyslide is a tool for setting the default high and low weights for your characters in Skyrim. It can technically be used on any gender, but really 99.9% of all of the mods are for female characters.
You see every armor in the game whether original or modded in needs counterpart bodyslide files in order to be adjusted. However once made you can apply a preset. My first serious preset was called Ai to Amy. Thats because I set the low weight proportions similar to Ai Shinozaki and high weight to Amy Villainous. You can’t get to extreme in size as the armor and bodies geometry starts breaking up.
I grabbed that plump Abigail mod. Stardew Valley is a game that could easily accommodate a weight gain mod. Basically add a ‘caloric’ value to each food, and balance it against the energy mechanic that’s already there. In other words, you burn calories doing the same things that drain energy, but keeping your calorie intake higher means you wake up fatter each day. And for NPCs, since you can only give them gifts so often anyway, their gains would be well-paced too. Would that I had the knowledge and artist talent (to make new sprites) for such a mod.
If I weren’t so busy with the forum and my other projects, I’d consider it. Stardew has been an awesome game and, as many have pointed out, lends itself to a WG mod pretty well. I haven’t had a chance to look it up, but I do wonder how straight forward it is to mod.
You should be able to download everything with a free account. Nexusmods only requires premium accounts to download from extra servers that in theory have lower demand. In practice I’ve never noticed the free servers being that slow anyway.
Here’s the link to the mod. You’ll need to enable Script Mods to make the Sim stay at that weight, or be able to gain weight and reach that weight level over time.
