- For the similar skill in The Sims 3, see Athletic skill.
Body is a skill in both The Sims and The Sims 2.
The Body skill determines the Sim's physical prowess and is useful in some jobs that require a Sim to be strong.
Animations change as a Sims Body skill increases.
Benefits
- 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 Dance Sphere [TS2:N] 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]
Ways to increase the Body skill
