Adam Gottlieb was fat for a good while, but he autonomously went to play basketball and ended up getting fit. That was his choice, I don't interfere. Similarly, Tate Benton ate too much and got fat. It doesn't bother him (no wants to get fit or to exercise), so it doesn't bother me. Madelyn Novak is fat right now but she's got the want to get fit and I'll probably let her do that. By and large, my gameplay is guided by my Sims' wants.<br /><br />If you're not referring to the Maxis fit/fat/default body sizes and are actually talking about the special body meshes you can download from various places, then my answer is that I won't be using any of those. I have used some of them a couple of years back and found them to be more trouble than they were worth. I'm sure the range of clothing is a little better now but the lack of meshes with a pregnancy morph bothered me, as did the fact that I either had to accept the fact that the Sims' bodies would change when they were nude or use the special skintones made by the creator that were designated as "shower-proof". And when I tried those, <i>they</i> didn't even work. I found unless you created a Sim especially to suit the body shape, their heads often looked too small and Sullivan is much too large now for me to start creating extra Sims in the name of diversity. So that's it for me and custom body shapes, sorry!<br /><br /><b>Simmington</b>, Magdalena was a gorgeous toddler. She looked just like her mother Raffaella, who is still one of my favourite Sims ever.<br /><br />"Lost" is probably a good word for Maia right now. She's too young and too naive to realise how many doors her poor grades are shutting for her. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of her.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-79316365541636678582009-11-17T07:24:52.388+11:002009-11-17T07:24:52.388+11:00I was looking back at Magdalena's toddler pict...I was looking back at Magdalena's toddler picture - TOO CUTE! I can't believe she's 52 either! LOL! Maia seems a little lost right now, for sure. She'll find her way, but I hope it's not too late.

Jamie is literally the only Sim Lia has a negative relationship with and she just happens to be the one who comes home from work with her mum? It can't be coincidence!<br /><br /><b>Lunar</b>, Lia is still quite broken up about Gordon and she's just one of those Sims who looks extra sad when she's crying! She needs her mum right now, so I'm glad I sent her to visit home.<br /><br /><b>Heredon</b>, Maia only really wants to date boys - 25 dream dates is her LTW. She literally has no career aspirations or dreams outside of that.<br /><br /><b>Cissie</b>, I'm in the same place as you with Gordon and Lia. I think Gordon should have to sweat it out for a <i>long</i> time before Lia considers taking him back.<br /><br />I know, I can't quite believe Magdalena is so old myself! I was just fixing up an old post the other day and came upon a picture of her and Araminta as little girls. So sweet and it doesn't feel like that long ago! With this aging system, they age a lot slower though.<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, yes, Magdalena and Jace both have a baby want. They're nuts and she and Araminta encourage each other, I think. I decided Magdalena is a bit more realistic though. She's made better financial decisions so I figure maybe she's more sensible in general. The Novaks have never been rich either but they've never been quite as poor as the Romillies are. <br /><br />I don't know what will become of Maia. She could put her head down and pull her grades up but the girl just isn't academic. She shows no interest and seeing she doesn't have a career LTW, I'm not going to force her.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-46433677380355091182009-11-16T09:27:56.553+11:002009-11-16T09:27:56.553+11:00The picture of Lia crying is so sad.

Part of me still hopes that she would get back together with Gordon but another part thinks she shouldn't.<br /><br />How on earth can Magdalena be over 50 already!
