Bodyshop Crashing *SOLVED*
Mayve:
I had this same problem a few months ago. What I did was move my sims 2 folder onto the desktop, started up the game so it would create a new sims 2 folder. I then exited the game started bodyshop and then it worked. I then began putting my neighborhoods and downloads back. I did not put anything back into the saved sims or project folders, so I did loose a few sims I created. Bodyshop now works fine.

The more this goes on without luck in starting Bodyshop, the more I think you may be opening the wrong version of Bodyshop. If you are clicking a Desktop icon to start it, chances are that icon never got updated. Use the start menu to start up the Apartment Life Bodyshop.
Wow...thanks...
I do go to the start menu to start Bodyshop...
I have already stated I found that the problem was in the downloads folder and I am gradually weeding my way through it to find the problem.
I...AM...NOT...AN...IDIOT. And I took that as an insult to my intelligence.

C.Joy-The game opens with the Apartment Life loading Screen so that is the BodyShop I attempt to use. That is also the highest EP/SP I have, since Teen Style Stuff came out before A.L. I believe I am using the correct BodyShop program.

UPDATE: Did the most elementary thing I could think of; Took out all the package files since I knew that's where the problem was. Organized them 0-9, A-H, I-P, Q-Z, and Other. and gradually moved each section back in to find where the problem was. A file within the Q-Z range is causing the problem. Now I just have to keep narrowing it down until i find the exact file. It'll take some time but i am much closer to solving the problem than I was.
Thanks anyway...
This can be considered solved...

Lovelygoth, please try not to take what people are hoping to be a helpful suggestion as an insult to your intelligence. There's no need to growl and snap at people who are just trying to help. Yes, you mentioned using the AL Bodyshop, but you didn't actually state you went through the start menu, so ancienthighway's suggestion was a valid one. It's not out of line to wonder if you were clicking a desktop icon or not.
I can't count the number of times I've seen people trying to help solve a problem by offering a mound of intricate, tech-savvy suggestions and not giving the simplest one because they were wary of offending the individual looking for help. Then, ten pages in someone finally comes in, offers the simplest solution no one has mentioned and, lo and behold! Problem solved.

As you are an intelligent young woman, I probably don't need to say that 80-90 percent of all problems with The Sims 2 are caused by the user adding or subtracting something from their Downloads folder. So I'm a little befuddled at why you would even ask a question about a problem you're having without first removing your downloads and seeing if your game works.
caffeinated.joy:
OK, ancient, that was just as unnecessary and uncalled for as lovelygoth's statement and really does nothing to help the situation. Just because something is completely elementary to you doesn't mean it is to anyone else; nor does it mean they lack intelligence for not knowing it. Keep that in mind when posting here, please. Besides, if you read her opening post you'll see her mentioning she was looking for other possible solutions first, because she was hoping to not have to remove her CC. Now, since this thread is now in danger of turning into a war zone, I'm going to lock this down.
