Major Game problems.
MaryH:
The Compressorizer was made by Jfade at DJS Sims-but the site is down..here is a link to the actual download from a page on the board for it: (the page works, too!)

Requires: Microsoft Windows and the .NET Framework Version 1.1
It will compress the size of all the unzipped downloads in your game if the creators have not also done so. A lot of creators do use it now before they submit their files, thank goodness.
It will take a huge file and shrink it down: for example-I had a file that was 1300kb and shrank it down to 450kb.
It also helps in the loading of the game to have smaller file sizes.

Hi there, Sorry I couldn't get back to you but I couldn't get back to work on the game until today.
I removed all my recolors from the saved Sims file and the game is working okay right now,(i'm still removing some items I don't need.) but Bodyshop still isn't working. I wasn't sure which would be considered the latest version so I tried both and neither worked.
HappyThoughts:
Have you tried going into the games shortcut properties and changing their compatibilities?
I'll explain this in a moment, after launching your bodyshop go into your task manager, does it show it running on the list? If you see it let it run, after 5minutes, let it run some more, if the bodyshop load in screen hasnt popped up by then, go ahead and end the process. The initial launch of Bodyshop with our without custom content can be mind numbingly slow.
Ok about the compatibility I'm not sure what operating system your running but mine is win7, which can be fickle about running certain programs if their not 'checked' as run as administrator. You can do this by right clicking your game shortcut, go into properties, look for the compatibility tab ontop, the run as administrator box is at the bottom. Check the box and apply and your all set. There is also a run with service packs 2 or3 option above that on the same tab, I use the 3 for mine but I have all ep's installed.
Worse comes to worse can't you open your disk and look for the bodyshop on it? maybe it needs reinstalled? I hate guessing answers lol but I do love a good mystery. ;D

Thanks for all the help so far.
My game is okay, it's been working fine with no crashes for the last few days, but I still can't get bodyshop to work. I think the problem was one of my recolors cause once I removed them, the game start working fine, but Bodyshop won't come up.

Go into Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 and try deleting Groups.cache, cigen.package, content registry and accessory.cache.
If some of the files I mentioned above aren't present, don't worry about it. Just delete the ones there. Those files can get corrupted and prevent your Bodyshop, your game, or both from loading. Clean copies will be regenerated, so they can be deleted safely.
