- For the similar skill in The Sims 3, see Athletic (skill).
- For the similar skill in The Sims 4, see Fitness (skill).
Body is a skill in The Sims and The Sims 2. It determines the Sim's physical prowess and is useful in some jobs that require a Sim to be strong.
The animations for many activities change as a Sim's body skill increases.
Benefits[edit | edit source]
- Advancement in careers such as the athletic, military or law enforcement tracks.
- Increases a Sim's chances of winning a fight, staying on the snowboarding half pipe[TS:V], mechanical bull[TS:HP] or ElectroDance Sphere[TS2:NL] without falling, and earning points in games found in many vacation spots.[TS:V]
- When a teen gains at least eight body points, he or she is able to gain the Hogan Scholarship for Athletics.[TS2:U]
- May increase a pregnant Sim's ability to keep from throwing up.[TS2]
- Reduces the likelihood of servers working in restaurants dropping trays.[TS2:OFB]
Ways to increase the body skill[edit | edit source]
- Swimming (In The Sims the blue bar does not appear to indicate they are gaining body points, but they actually are.)
- Gym equipment: includes the treadmill, exercise bike and all the work benches. Using gym equipment decreases hygiene and energy quickly. Teens, adults and elders can use this equipment.
- Riding the mechanical bull.[TS:HP]
- Working out in front of a TV or stereo.[TS2]
- Do yoga: has less effect on hygiene and energy.[TS2]
- Using the obstacle course or the punching bag, which are the career rewards for the military and athletic careers.[TS2]
- Riding the ElectroDance Sphere.[TS2:NL]
- Bowling.[TS2:NL]
- Studying body from the Books First for Learning bookshelf, which is the career reward for the education career.[TS2:S]
- Doing mastered Tai Chi.[TS2:BV]
- Using the Deluxe Log Rolling Pit, which also increases fun.[TS2:BV]
- Using the ballet barre.[TS2:FT]
- Using the basketball court.[TS2:FT]
- Using the soccer goal.[TS2:FT]
- Jogging.[TS2:FT]
- Jumping rope.[TS2:AL]
Body and children[edit | edit source]
This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2.
Most ways of building body skill can only be done by teens, adults and elders, but there are some ways kids can increase their body skill.
- Swimming in the pool or working out in front of a stereo. (This may depend on which expansion packs are installed.)
- Using the obstacle course or the punching bag.
- Bowling.[TS2:NL]
- Studying body from the Books First for Learning bookshelf.[TS2:S]
- Being taught body skill by an older Sim who has at least 7.5 points in the skill and the Impart Knowledge aspiration benefit.[TS2:FT]
- Using the ballet barre.[TS2:FT]
- Using the basketball court.[TS2:FT]
- Jumping rope.[TS2:AL]
- Playground equipment.[TS2:AL]
At first, it was believed that toddlers could gain body skill from singing the Nursery Rhyme[TS2:FT] after learning it. However, this was due to a glitch which caused the wrong pop-up message to appear when a skill point was gained. This was corrected in the FreeTime patch, though it does not appear in the patch notes.
