Diet and exercise.

[stebbinsd]

I'd like to see a mod that causes your weight to adjust based on your diet and what you do. Kind of like Gopher's "Pumping Iron" mod in Skyrim, but with the option of becoming fat, and also includes your diet.

 

For example, if you focus on a majority protein diet (like deathclaw steaks and mirelurk omelettes ... and yes, even cannibalism), your body would slowly creep towards the top of the "weight" triangle, making you more muscular. If you eat a lot of high-calorie foods like sugar bombs and sweetrolls, you'll slowly become fat, and if you focus on a low-calorie, low-protein diet, like raw crops and noodle cups, you'll become more lean. A roughly balanced diet will keep you in the center of the triangle (give or take a few pixels).

 

I'd also like to see an exercise system in place. While there's no activity that will make you fat, some actions will burn through fat and others will build muscle. For example, if you sprint a lot, that's cardio exercise, giving you a slight nudge towards being lean. Swinging melee weapons and wielding (but not firing; holding it is enough) heavy weapons like miniguns and fat mans would build muscle. Running around with 90% or more of your total encumbrance weighing you down would also slowly build muscle, and you can burn off the fat twice as fast if you spring with >90% encumrance ... and three times as fast if you're holding a heavy weapon while sprinting with >90% encumbrance.

 

Anyone else second this request?

Such a mod already exists for Skyrim called Weight Morphs by Ousnius so it may be a possibility for Fallout 4 :)
