i want to know if you download body shop too, it worked fine on my computer with just the Sims 2 double delux but after i installed other expansions it disappeared... is there any reason for this and can i download it from somewhere else?

thanks!

I don't know why the original would disappear. But each expansion comes with a new version of Body Shop, so you can use the one that came with your most recent expansion pack.

That happened with me until I got a new expansion pack... It's nothing to do with cc, I never heard of custom content then...

HP, Where can I get the down-loadable version of body shop? I'm looking into trying to create something and my body shop won't open. Also I have a relatively new computer, so do you think it could support the downloaded version along with 7 eps? (all except FT)


Thank You!

I REALLY need help finding a good website that displays good fabrics or like, textures to put in bodyshop. Most of my sim "Recolors" are all 1 single color from paint xD Thanks.

jajaja1, please don't post the same question in multiple threads. There's an answer in your other thread:

this is what I know:
ALT + Enter
Will toggle The Sims 2 Body Shop between windowed mode (default) and full-screen mode.

F3
Toggle between normal camera and free camera.
When you are in free camera mode, you can do the following:
- Click and drag the Left Mouse Button -- Orbits the camera around the Sim’s head.
- Click and drag the Right Mouse Button -- Controls the camera zoom. Move the mouse away from you to zoom out. Move the mouse toward you to zoom in.
- Click and drag Left and Right mouse buttons together -- Changes the center point the camera is looking at.

F5
Changes the background to a solid black color. If there is a bitmap graphic named “userBkg.bmp” in the “\EA Games\The Sims 2\” folder in My Documents, the image will be displayed as a backdrop.

F6
Changes the sim pose. The sim will have the arms held straight out.To return the sim to the normal pose, click on any sim thumbnail or content thumbnail.

F7
Zoom out in the normal camera mode.

F8
Zoom in in the normal camera mode.

F9
Toggles the UI off and on.

To see a world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.

My body shop crashes when I try to import anything. It works for other things but not importing. I have NO idea why.

namaste203, I think that you'll have a lot more luck getting help if you post in the Sims 2 Help forum:
http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=31

Your question has nothing to do with this tutorial, but is just a problem with your game.

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place but this is the closest place I can find for my problem (it's been awhile since I've been on MTS and the changes they made is a bunch of crap!)...My body shop seems to be working fine but the sims I make will not show up in the game. Except for one that I redid. Others I redid will not show up as well (I just changed the clothing). I am using Windows 7 with a Radeon HD 7450 video card.

I did go to the CAS in the game and see some of the older sims I created but not anything newer than, let's say, 8 months. I've done this before without any problems but it seems since EA made their changes onsite it seems a lot of stuff craps out. When I start the game I get a small screen stating it can't run a script and asks if I would like to continue. I click YES and then the game will start up. It seems everything else in the game is working correctly. Just can't get the newer sims I created.

Any ideas out there?

I'll get back to you later, Nysha. I just had problems finding a way to post a thread asking for help. I did most of my searching through google which led to results to your pages. But if I went onto your site through old links I had I couldn't find any help. The troubleshooting page was useless. I'll have to find the page so I can post the link later so you can see what I was seeing. And search results ended up with either things that had nothing to do with my problem or with no results. I kind of like the way things were back, let's say, a couple of years ago.

For some reason my version won't let me zoom in or use any other of the hot keys. I'm using a laptop, so all they do is peform their function when I press them (turn off the mousepad, adjust brightness, etc.)
The right mouse button doesn't help either. The only one that works is ALT+Enter. Does anyone know how I can get it to zoom in? It's really hard to work when I can't get a close-up look at my sims' faces...

That's odd.

I use a laptop for Simming as well, and I don't have any problems with the F keys in Body Shop. In fact, if I want them to do an actual function, I have to press the "function" key and hold it while pressing the F keys. If I just hit F8 by itself in Body Shop, it zooms me in.

Have you tried using the "function" key in conjunction with F8? Maybe your computer likes to be opposite and contrary.

How do you reset the thumbnail of the clothes? I made one and at first, it was showing that mesh wasn't linked and now that I linked a mesh, I can see the mesh but the thumbnail stayed the same.

How can I make the model sim wear underwear when recoloring accessories? The cape I'm trying to recolor clips with the shirt she's wearing so I can't see my entire recolor. :/

Edit: Apparently just clicking over and over will eventually get you to the underwear. Seems like there must be a better way but this one ended up working fine.

Does anyone have a backup of the mod that turns the Body Shop mannequins clothes off when previewing skintones? Or know a way to do it maybe?

All I find today is dead links that no longer work.
