I rechecked everything a couple of times and I have no outside nude files. Everything looked normal in there, but in the game, everything's whacked. It's not something I can't live with, it just makes things much more of a pain in the butt and I have no idea if in the long run it's ruining files and really would like to fix it, if possible.

I did what you suggested, I don't use body shop, never been able to get that to work right for me. The problem is still there though, looks worse actually. I've followed all tutorials and instructions step for step...I don't understand why the previews are looking so horribly ugly. My Sim's body is blacked out, and now the clothing 'on the rack' is appearing on a blacked out Sim shape. Does that make sense? Hard to explain. Any other suggestions? I really really appreciate how helpful you all have been...not to mention patient with me.

I tried that SimPE thing and it wasn't as difficult that I'd thought it would be. The tutorial was very helpful. However, now whenever my sim plans her outfits or shops for new ones, her body is blacked out. Any idea what may have caused this?

Oh! That could work. Thank you so much. I'll give these a try.

I have never used SimPE, I'm working on downloading it now though. Will it, by chance, let me see each thing so I can reassign its category? Or actually, is it simple? I'm a Sim addict, but not always quick with the programs.

Does anybody know of a program out there that would help me sort my Sims' clothes into the proper categories? It drives me nuts to see lingerie in the casual, and formal in the casual, and casual in the formal, etc... Please let me know if there's anything out there to help me fix it. The only thing I could think of was Paladin's Place and that's only for objects as far as I can tell.
