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)#List_of_charms|charm]]{{vgversion|TS:MM}} get a random body type. Prior to ''[[The Sims: Hot Date|Hot Date]]'', using a [[dresser]] could change a Sim's body type. Even after ''Hot Date'', [[Custom content|custom]] dressers based on pre-''Hot Date'' dressers could still do this. Some third-party character editing programs may allow a Sim's body type to be changed.

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 [[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.
