Body shape: Difference between revisions

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]].

 

 

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 Medieval==

 

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.
