This is an accidental experiment. One of my families had twins last night, both were born with a dislike of eating. I used a desensitization kit on one of them which removed the dislike of eating, but not on the other twin. I meant to use it on the other twin also but got sidetracked and forgot. They both went to bed HAPPY at age 2 years old and all was well.

I was totally amazed this morning when I checked on this family. The twin which had not had their dislike of eating removed now had a status of A BIT BLUE, while the twin who's dislike of eating had been removed was ELATED. This is the first time I have seen any of my peeps wake up worse off than when they went to bed without being sick! Usually if they go to bed HAPPY, then they wake up ELATED. What happened to her overnight?

The twin who is feeling A BIT BLUE actually went into the backyard before breakfast and sat down on the lawn all by herself, doing nothing, her activity said FEELING A BIT LONELY. I have NEVER seen that activity before! I felt bad for her.

I gave both twins a doctor's consultation, both are fine. Now I have to wait for another desensitization kit to show up in the store again for the twin that still doesn't like to eat. The twins bios below are after they ate breakfast this morning.

This experiment shows that a dislike of eating definitely affects the little folk overnight when you're not there to feed them.

This is a great experiment Cheron!

I've never seen anything like that before!

Let me ask ask you something: does the one who doesn't like eating behaves the same way when having a meal? I mean, does she eat like the others? and what about the fruits?

Both these girls are basically good girls, they play in the sand, play with their toys, and mostly other constructive activities. Neither of the twins are looking for trouble, if you know what I mean if you've had your share of brats. I gave the twin who is FEELING A BIT BLUE two fruits and some vitamins this morning, which helped her a little. I also let her bring in some collectibles hoping it would help to make her happy again.

They both finished breakfast with the other members of the family this morning without a problem. She ate all her breakfast just like her twin. Of course, I was there until she finished eating.

Perhaps the one who's a bit blue doesn't like being different to her twin? wink

That's good to know, Cheron. I was thinking if maybe she would refuse the meal, or eat less than the others in some ways.

Maybe that would be a problem on the late version of the game, where they used to eat by themselves.

Follow up: I just fed the twins and their family dinner. The BIT BLUE twin is back to elated and her health bar is full. Fortunately there was another desensitization kit in the store so she is also rid of her dislike for eating.

Arnie, that is an interesting theory about the one twin not happy because she was different from the other twin and one I hadn't thought of, but if so, why didn't it affect both twins? Even so, it may have contributed to her sad situation.

This brought home to me that anytime one of the little people has a dislike of eating, or for that matter sleeping or anything else that could possibly interfere with their health and happiness, to get rid of it as soon as possible!
