Line 1:
[[Sim]]s can have different '''body shapes'''. [[Pregnancy]] also affects body shape.
Line 5 ⟶ 4:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', body shapes are generally referred to as body types. ''[[The Sims]]'' has different [[Clothes#The Sims|clothes]] for every body type. The basic body types for [[adult]]s are fat, fit and skinny, though custom body types are possible. [[Child]]ren have their own body type, and can also have custom body types.
Body type is solely determined by the clothes being worn, and is not affected by exercise, eating or any other activity. Body type is set when the Sim's initial outfit is chosen in [[Create a Sim]]. Children who become adults by using the '''Age of Instant''' [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#
==The Sims 2==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims can have three body shapes - fit, normal and fat.
The differences between the normal/thin and fit body shapes are not always visible in gameplay. Even when they are visible, they may not be noticeable unless the player looks closely. Fit Sims have better-defined abdominal muscles than normal/thin Sims, but the difference is subtle, and generally does not show through [[Clothes#The Sims 2|clothing]].
If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, fitness or fatness can be selected as a [[Chemistry|turn-on or turn-off]], though thinness cannot be.
A Sim's body shape is controlled by internal flags. These are normally set according to the Sim's [[Fitness (attribute)#The Sims 2|fitness]] level, though both the flags and fitness level can be viewed and manipulated with [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. It is not unusual for pre-made Sims or newly generated [[Townie#The Sims 2|townies]] to have preset fitness levels that do not match their preset body shape flags. For playable Sims, such a mismatch can be corrected by sending the Sim to a [[community lot]] or by having the Sim perform a fitness-building activity. For townies and NPCs, correcting a mismatch requires using SimPE to set the Sim's body shape flags and chemistry traits.
==The Sims 3==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'',
[[File:BodyShapesisTS3.png|thumb|Weight and muscle sliders in CAS before the Late Night update]]
In ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', there are new sliders which affect body shape by affecting muscle definition (for males & females) and breasts (for females).▼

==The Sims Medieval==
''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' also has body shape sliders. They are identical to ''The Sims 3'' before the update that introduced the sliders for muscle definition and breast size. Unlike in ''The Sims 3'', in Create a Sim, the sliders are located on a page that also has sliders for age modification and a single face detail slider, along with the three traits a Sim can have.
==The Sims 4==
[[File:FitnessScale TS4.png|thumb|Weight and muscle sliders in CAS]]
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', body shape has been enhanced from previous Sims games, and can now be modified much like head shape. [[Fitness (attribute)|Fitness and fatness]] sliders still exist. They function much as they did in ''The Sims 3'', except that muscle definition is not a separate, controllable scale, and is instead modified by changing fatness and fitness, with higher fitness increasing definition, and higher fatness reducing it.
