Bodyshop does not stay alive!

Sometimes, it can take a while for bodyshop to open after you've deleted the various .cache files. Have you tried opening it and leaving it alone to load for a while?

Also, have you tried deleting the cigen.package  and content registry files (if present)? All the cache files (in case you didn't know) are groups.cache, cigen.package, content registry and accessory.cache

Another possibility. If you have ever made any clothing/hair/accessory/etc recolours, then the contents of your projects folder can cause issue. Those are no longer needed once they've been imported into the game, so clearing that out can help a great deal.

Something else I've just thought of: it could something in your saved sims folder, so if the above doesn't work, try pulling the Saved Sims folder out. If this does the trick, then you have a bad sim.

Caches files are always kill on sight, having read many other posts about it. I have no saved sims, and have cleared out custom content. No luck at all. On the other hand, the program starts and blinks out of existence in my processes list! So I highly doubt waiting for it to come alive would work.


XPTL297:
Are you using the right version of Bodyshop? I mean, did you replace it by the version that comes with your last EP? Did you install any EP in other order than the release ones? Did it work before? If so, when did you notice the faillure? Did you install anything that can override system files? Does everything look right in CAS? (for example, does any of the thumbnails in CAS look like a child without hair, or a nude body where should be a dress or a hair?) Is anything behaving weird when you play the game, that could be related to a corrupted file? Did you verify if your shortcuts (the one you have in the desktop or quick launch) is pointing to the right folder? (the version inside your last EP).

After getting and installing some new expansions, bodyshop finally stayed long enough to show itself: It's crashing now, error log below.

[EDIT:]
.cache files are deleted, and custom content removal still results in a crash.

@XPTL297: I'm pretty sure I'm using the version that came with the newest EP.

bobby T.H.:
The cigen.package contain all the thumbnails that are created on the fly ,when you are using Bodyshop ,,,
it's the other files with name bodyshop registry that you MUST get rid of.

IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE BODYSHOP AGAIN ! DELETE THE FILES CONTAINING THE NAME ""BODYSHOP ~ REGISTRY" or what ever its call !

problem solve.

ps:If don't know me and never eared of BobbyTH aka BobbyTheHacker, then don't listen to me! I'm only trying to help here.

Theraven:
Have you tried to delete the thumbnail files in the  "C:\Users\_USER_\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails" folder?
 
(Might be a different path if you're using Win7, XP or some other system, but it's the Thumbnails folder in the same place you find the Downloads folder)

These files don't go borked as quick as the others, but if everything else fails, it could be worth a try. Just be aware that all thumbnails will have to refresh themselves, and crashing can occur if you put in a load of CC right after this, because of high memory use as the files are recreated.
