Oddities#
Going Over The Weight Limit#
Unlike the PC version, there is only 1 way to go over the weight limit in the game, that the game allows you to in the Create A Sim. As a result of doing this action multiple times, your sim will be extremely obese and will look weird.
- Stealing candy from a baby/toddler (Requires Evil trait)
Limited Time Per Save#
Interestingly, the more you play on a single save the less it functions normally. Actions for the game like Routing and Animations might snag a bit, but once you reach a certain amount of play time (usually about 10 in-game weeks) it stops functioning almost completely. This means it is (almost) impossible to do everything you can in the game on just one save. This was never fixed in the Title Update(s) and still works on the latest version.
