skinny fat and muscular idea

[mattthedude]

How about someone make a mod when you eat food you get fat? when you gain str spd or certain levels sutch as: hand to hand, blade, blunt. you gey musculer? and when you don't eat and don't work out you get skinny and eventually die?

 

i know this would take scripting and modeling and all of that.... but why not give it a shot?

 

i can't do it i don't have anything to do it with and my cs is broken.... just an idea. :blush:

Because you don't realise how much scripting and modeling would be needed to get something partially working. Oblivion wasn't meant to have anything like this, the bodies don't have any thin/fat morphs, meaning that you'd need to make complete sets of every piece of equipment to fit that body type, and have some way of controlling it all. Forget being able to work it off for a moment, just having a variety of body types that are static and unchanging hasn't been done, dispite the fact that there have been teams of people working on it for the last few months. Trying to make it dynamic like that just isn't going to happen since there are no good systems in place to control it all, and trying to build those systems from scratch just with scripting would be both beyond all but maybe 4 or 5 people within the entirety of the oblivion community (counting devs as well), and the result would probably end up having conflicts with many mods, or cause your game to slow down significantly (read quad core 3ghz required). It just isn't practical to even try since there isn't any basis for it within the game. Go play GTA: SA, that game has exactly what you're looking for, hell, even the sims has close enough. The same sort of system just wouldn't work in Oblivion plain and simple.

I saw a proof-of-concept video a while back where the player's body appearance was controlled by their strength. I can't remember where it was though. But as Vagrant0 said, it would require multiple sets of every piece of armor and clothing to truly work.

Yeah, there was a WIP thread over at TESForums a while back about a body shape mod, with fat and thin styles. I don't know what happened to it, I haven't seen anything about it for a while now. I can't even remember what it was called, but there definitely was one.
