Need Body Shop 2 cutom content

[Simmer2]

Hi. I just joined this neat simming community and I am looking for some help. I always wanted to be able to make my own Sims so I can upload them and share them with cummunities such as this one and Sims 2 ea games sites, etc... I recently downloaded the Sims 2 Body Shop, but it harly comes with any content at all! I hardly have any hairstyles or clothing, eye color choices...almost nothing! How and where do I go online to find custom content to download to my Body Shop so I can make a wish come true and maybe even learn how to help others with my same inquiries? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Simming to all! :-):angel:

um... bodyshop comes with the game (you don't have to download it - you'll most likely find it in the start menu, under your most recently installed OR latest released Expansion Pack), and don't come with other content than the maxis content, or the things you might have downloaded.

custom content you can find a lot of here at insim, and also at http://www.Modthesims2.com - two of my favourite places, and two of the places you'll find most - if not all - of what you might need

I do recommend you to shy away from uploading anything at the official sims2 sites, because you'll soon find your uploaded content hidden, forgot, or "stolen" (as in no credit to you when people use stuff you've created, or even re-uploaded content) by other people. I keep to Insim when it comes to upload my stuff. MTS2 have these weird restrictions, and I've not even bothered to try uploading anything there... It's much easier to upload things here at insim instead. besides - it's the best sims2 forum I know of

I'd also suggest you uninstall the version of Bodyshop you just downloaded.  That version is bugged either way (see here for what I'm talking about, mainly the first item addressed), and was supposed to be available only to make sims before the game was ever released.  Use the version that comes with the highest/latest released EP you have, like theraven mentioned, and you'll find your custom Bodyshop content where it's supposed to be.  

If you don't know where to find it, look in your C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 (*Name of latest EP*)\CSBin directory, then double click on the file TS2BodyShop.exe to open up Bodyshop.  :angel:

(...and moved to help section.  Still might be more of a WCIF question, though.  I'm having a "ditz" moment... )
