The three parameter variable moment of inertia (VMI) nuclear softness model named VMINS3 is shown to be adequate in reproducing the main features of the VMI model. Its failure for deformed nuclei reported by earlier workers is shown to be the result of a wrong approach in the calculation. The variation of the softness parameter {sigma} and of the stretching parameter K=((1)/(2))C{theta}{sub 0}{sup 2} with increasing deformation of the nuclear core is now consistent with results of the variable moment of inertia model. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
