The Body skill determines the Sim's physical prowess and is useful in some jobs that require needs to being strong such as the military or the law enforcement career. High Body skill also increases your chances of winning a fight, staying on the snowboarding half pipe without falling, and earning points in games found in many vacation spots. |

There are a few ways of increasing the skill. Firstly, a Sim can swim, and although there isn't a blue bar to indicate they are gaining Body points, they actually are. Another method is to use the exercise machine. In [[House Party]], the Mechanical Bull is introduced, which also increases your Body skill; the higher it becomes, the longer you can stay on the bull without being thrown off. |
