ATTENTION! New Body Shop Bug!!!!111!1eleven
BeosBoxBoy:
AjaAja - at the moment, the bug seems to be limted to Sims packaged with the version of Body Shop that is installed by Bon Voyage EP; the file it includes (id est, Sims05.package) is one of the base game's root file for Maxis meshes that everyone already has installed (otherwise the game won't work). But as you will read below, it may spread like a virus to non-BV versions of the game fairly quickly.
The problem is one that Sim-makers need to be aware of, and a problem downloaders of Sims need to guard against. For instance, when I went to the Exchange, all of the sims I downloaded were labelled as requiring only the basic game or those EPs which I have installed (I do not have Bon Voyage or Pets EPs installed and did not re-install any of the stuff packs on this latest re-install) - but upon close inspection of the files the Sims2Packs that contained the duplicate Sims05.package were all made with Bon Voyage EP's Body Shop and carry the Bon Voyage EP version stamp.
The chief hazard is that this file is almost always renamed in the Sims2Pack to some bizarre name of letters and numbers, and is not easily differentiated from a mesh that has already passed through Body Shop's renaming process. The bizarre number-and-letters name is not a way to identify the file. I had three files named b18484e15a91c5a039d61f635d15d7c3:
b18484e15a91c5a039d61f635d15d7c3.package

I think this risk may be limited to persons with Pets EP, Seasons, EP, and Bon Voyage EP, because these versions of the game install a Body Shop that includes meshes, and the Sims05.package file constitutes a portion of Maxis meshes. I checked Sims2Packs I created with my Seasons EP Body Shop and the file had propagated into the Sims2Pack from my downloads folder.
:pale: Aw, man... not Seasons, too! I'd better check my stuff just to be on the safe side... :?

I´ve found it also in my DL Folder,a pretty while ago already, but at a moment when I had nearly nothing inside yet, since I´ve restarted with BV. I´ve deleted it at once, wondering wth it was. Thanks to you, now I know! I´m glad I only have identifiable files in my DL, so I can throw out all the filthy dirt at once! ;)
