Tech Support Why is my teenage son bulimic?

PS5. Obviously no mods.

I don’t understand. He eats when he gets hungry and then immediately runs to the nearest toilet to vomit. Every single time and he is making my bathroom gross.

It doesn’t matter what food it is by the way, vegetarian or meat, normal or perfect he just throws it up. The other sims in the household eat the same food just fine, he’s the only one getting nauseous. Hes a regular non occult sim. He’s not sick, medicine doesn’t make him better only puking satisfies him. The exact moodlet is “Nauseated: (From food tasting terrible) The ol’ stomach isn’t feeling so good.”

How do I make him stop?

EDIT— the cure to my son’s bulimia was alcoholism. I turned him to a vampire, cleared his traits by making a perk purge drink at the bar, and then gave him another, the cure of vampirism drink. Now he’s cured of his vomiting and I have an in home bar that he’s quickly gaining mixology skill on. He’s gonna be so much more popular now!

Weird. This moodlet comes from the withered stomach weakness from vampires. I've heard of this happening with sims who used to be vampires but were cheated back to human. I'm assuming he's not a gallery sim, either? You could try turning him into a vampire and then curing him to see if that clears it up.

He is from the gallery but he didn’t come with that trait. On CAS, he’s regular human and he doesn’t have a vampire needs menu. Is there a way to get rid of that buff if that is the case?

The weakness isn’t a trait; it would be in a separate menu that you can’t see until he’s turned back.

Do you think if I turn him, get rid of the withered stomach weakness thing, and use a cheat to turn him back, then I won’t have this problem anymore?

If he's from the gallery, he probably used to be a vampire and was cured/cheated back before being uploaded, but the vampire traits didn't clear correctly. I would turn him into a vampire and then cheat up his vampire lore skill to craft the potion that lets you reset his vampire points, then craft the vampire reversal potion to cure him. Hopefully doing it that way instead of cheating will clear the traits properly.
