flips thru the very long manual til finds the tiny section on Body shop. digs out the original very long sims 2 manual.

Now go into the Downloads folder and PASTE (or CTRL-V) your custom content files. Here is a list of things that i have done that will probably waste your time. SELECT ALL (or CTRL-A) and CUT (or CTRL-X) to grab everything in that folder.Ĩ. Now go to your computer's Desktop and open the Downloads folder that you put there in step 2.ħ. You will notice that there is a new Downloads folder in there, which Body Shop made when it ran.Ħ. You don't need to do anything within Body Shop, just run the program and close it.ĥ. When Body Shop has finished loading, just click the X at the top right of the program window to close it again. It may seem like nothing's happening as Body Shop starts to load, and it may take several minutes to finish loading fully.Ĥ.If you have never run Body Shop, you can find a shortcut to it under Start - Program Files - EA Games - The Sims 2 (or your newest EP) - The Sims 2 Body Shop.Body Shop is a Maxis-made program - it comes with your game and is already installed if you have the game installed. Do the same thing with the SavedSims folder - cut and paste it to your Desktop.ģ.There should now be no folder called Downloads in your The Sims 2 folder. CUT (or CTRL-X) your Downloads folder and PASTE (or CTRL-V) your Downloads folder to your computer's Desktop. If you have Windows Vista, the The Sims 2 folder is: Users\(Current User Account)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Ģ.If you are using Windows XP (most common) your The Sims 2 folder is: Documents and Settings\(Current User Account)\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\.In fact, this trick often works when you cannot get your custom objects showing up with a new expansion install. This trick has absolutely nothing to do with whether the content not showing up is sim/Body Shop related. It is especially useful if you have just installed a new Expansion Pack or Stuff Pack and content that was working before you installed now won't show up. This handy little trick often helps when the game isn't recognizing custom content that should be working.
