The Sims 2: Fitness Cheats & Legitimate Workout Guide

No single "get fit" cheat exists, but you can manipulate fitness via the cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C):

Cheat Commands (PC/Mac)

• boolprop testingcheatsenabled true — Enables shift-click cheats.
• maxmotives — Fills all motives including Fitness (hidden motive). Sim feels energized, autonomously exercises.
• skilllevel body 10 — Sets Body skill to max (10). Directly controls fitness capability.
• motives.set_motive fitness 100 — Sets hidden Fitness motive to max (requires testingcheats).

Legitimate Fitness Gameplay

1. Home Gym: Buy "Exerto Self-Log" (treadmill) or "No Sweat" (weight bench). Use "Work Out" → "Go for Jog" / "Lift Weights".
2. Community Lots: Visit gym lots (pre-made or downloaded). Social + skill gain.
3. Sports: Basketball hoop, soccer ball, pool table — all raise Body.
4. Dance: Stereo + "Dance" — fun, social, builds Body.
5. Yoga (Seasons): "Salutation" interaction — slower but builds Body + lowers Stress.

Pro Tips

• Body skill decays slowly if unused. "Work Out" daily for 1 Sim-hour maintains 10.
• Fat/Thin morphology changes at Body 0-3 (fat), 4-6 (average), 7-10 (fit). Visual only.
• boolprop testingcheatsenabled false when done—prevents accidental shift-click deletions.

Best Balance: Use skilllevel body 5 to jumpstart, then play naturally. Pure cheating removes the life-sim satisfaction.
