Well, with it coming up to Christmas, I wanted to give you all a small gift. And as I'm not good with custom content.. Shane came into exsistence. I hope you like him.







Bring him home with you.


Clean pack installer shot :



(He comes packaged with Maxis hair and clothes, from Seasons and Uni respectivley. His eyebrows are defaults and not included. You can get them Here.)

Example A.
My graphics at their best.

Example B.
Enough to burn your eyes out (At their worst.)

Both pictures above are taken directly from bodyshop, in the same session.

At the moment, my graphics seem to be going... well, crazy. When I loaded up bodyshop today, my graphics were as shown in example B. By choosing a different set of eyes for the sim, my graphics switched back to example A. Then, as I went to change his outfit, they went back to B again.

By messing around and selecting different things, I can temporarily make my graphics return to example A. However, it's growing tiring having to change his eyes every time I want to check what his facial structure looks like. This doesn't just happen on one defective item - it happens randomly, so I know it's not one select piece of custom content.

The most infuriating thing is, every time I enter my actual sims game, all the settings are like they are on their lowest, even though all my settings are turned up to high. In effect, my ingame graphics are even worse than example B from Bodyshop.

I installed a webcam a few days ago, and that is when the problems started. However, when I unplugged my webcam and restarted my computer, the problems persisted. I am deleting hacks and new CC to check if any of them are causing the problem, though if you have any suggestions in the meantime, I would love to hear them.

(Ps - I have tried deleting the accessory, cigen, and groups file. It didn't work. I am also definitely sure I am using the latest version of the game and bodyshop, and selecting the right icon.)

So, I've decided to try uninstalling then reinstalling my game in the hopes of getting my body shop to work. The only problem is - I'm not entirely sure what to do. How do you copy all the saved Sims and such, and put them back into the game after the reinstall? And how do you go about the actual reinstall itself?

Ever since I installed Bon Voyage, my bodyshop won't work. I have tried every version of bodyshop and deleting the groups.cache file and it's friends :blast: (As suggested here : http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=62533). My body shop takes about half an hour to just begin to load, at which time a message shows up saying 'This application has crashed and will now terminate.' Very annoying, especially now that all my Sims have to be made in CAS and all look more or less the same.

I've recently deleted all my downloads and started again, so really it shouldn't be taking so long just to show up on the task bar. I'm pretty sure it is not a download causing this problem.
