Line 35:
Fitness in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' has been enhanced from ''The Sims 2''. The fitness scale was split into two body sliders: a Muscle Size slider, indicating fitness, and a Weight slider, indicating fatness. They are no longer viewable in-game, instead, the only way to tell a Sim's fitness is by their physical [[body shape]]. Instead of changing all at once when a certain fitness level is reached, a Sim's body shape changes gradually through working out or overeating.
 
Fat Sims can become noticeably fatter than in ''The Sims 2'', and as a Sim gains weight his or her face, arms, legs, and torso become fatter, unlike in ''The Sims 2'' where a fat Sim only gains weight in the stomach area. A fat Sim will have a rounder face and double chin.
 
Changes to a Sim's fitness or fatness level after being born or being created is not permanent, and effort must be put into keeping the change in weight. A Sim who stops overeating or stops exercising to lose weight will gradually return to his or her genetic fatness, even if the Sim does not overeat, and a Sim who stops exercising to increase muscle tone will lose muscle tone gradually and eventually return to his or her genetic fitness.
