INSTALLATION WARNINGS FOR THE SIMS(TM) 2 TEEN STYLE STUFF
-----------------------------------------------------
Please do NOT install The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff into the same
location where you have already installed The Sims 2.

If you do this, The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff's files will overwrite
The Sims 2's files, and neither game will work properly!
By default, the installer will automatically install The Sims(TM) 2 Teen
Style Stuff into a separate location: if you choose to install The
Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff, please make sure that it is not the same
place where The Sims 2 is installed.

To get both games working again, please reinstall The Sims 2 and then
reinstall The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff.

Also, we recommend that you back up your saved game files before
installing The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff. Please see BACKING UP YOUR
USER DATA section below. When uninstalling your most recent Stuff pack,
the uninstaller will delete all saved games as they will be unreadable
by previous versions, including The Sims 2 base game. Backing up your
saved games before installing will allow you to restore these files if
you uninstall this stuff pack.

INSTALLATION
------------
The Sims 2 is required to install and run The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style
Stuff.

If you have a version of The Sims 2 Body Shop or The Sims 2 HomeCrafter
Plus already installed, please make sure it is closed before installing
The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff.

BACKING UP YOUR USER DATA
-------------------------
This product will create saved games in a different format from your
currently installed games.  As a result, when uninstalling your most
recent Stuff pack, the uninstaller will delete all saved games as they
will be unreadable by previous versions, including The Sims 2 base game.
We recommend that you back up your current saved games before installing
The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff, if you think you will want to go back
to previous versions of The Sims 2. Then you can restore these saved
versions in order to play The Sims 2 base game.

Here's how:

1) Find your saved games on your computer. By default, Sims 2 saved
games are kept in C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\EA
GAMES and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\EA GAMES\The
Sims 2. Saved games for other users on your computer are stored under
their respective username folder. Don't worry if the "All Users" folder
for The Sims 2 is empty on your computer; it may not have been used for
this version of the Stuff Packs or The Sims 2.

NOTE FOR VISTA USERS: Your game data is stored in
c:\Users\\Documents instead.  

2) Copy these files and folders to a safe location on your computer.
Because you may have many files to store, we recommend compressing them
using a file compression utility, or burning them to a CD.

3) If you uninstall The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff and wish to play a
previous Sims 2 product, such as The Sims 2 base game, just copy these
backed up user data files back into the same locations listed above.


NEW TO THE SIMS(TM) 2 TEEN STYLE STUFF EXAMPLES
-----------------------------------

Goth Goods
-----------------

- Tall and Terrible Armoire by Darkness: With its contrasting facade and
its cool, silver handles, this armoire lends a sophisticated touch to
your Sim’s dark dominion. Just don’t be vulgar and call it a dresser.

- Side by Side by Darkness: Seize the night in this luxurious bed. From
its plush headboard to its elegant canopy, it offers even the weariest
creature of the night a very comfortable, if not, eternal slumber.

- Higher Education by Darkness: Some have said that a power lurks inside
the wood used to make these shelves, although Darkness claims this is
nothing but exaggerated rumor.

Surfer Girls and Sk8r Boys
-----------------

- Simple Single by Fun in the Sun: For teens who prefer thrills to
frills, this no-fuss bed epitomizes the streamlined lifestyle of extreme
sports fans. Sims will jump in and slide into sleep with complete
abandon.

- Pompadour Dresser by Fun in the Sun: This bright and fun dresser comes
in assorted colors that were scientifically proven to encourage lab rats
to put away their clothes. *Not guaranteed to work on teen Sims.

- Curves and Swerves End Table by Fun in the Sun: This bedside table
isn’t part of a nutritious breakfast, but it does nicely complement the
rest of the Fun in the Sun collection of furniture. Plus, it’s awfully
nice to wake up next to.

Socialite Styles
-----------------

- Couture Clothing Chest by It Creations: Setting fashion trends can be
draining, but stowing your wardrobe doesn’t have to be a drag. This
fabulous armoire is as stylish as the clothes your Sim will store in it.

- Fit for Royalty by It Creations: She can get her beauty sleep in style
with this bed. Its gentle swags of delicate fabric cradle its occupant,
prompting restful slumber of the sweetest kind..

- The Better Bookshelf by It Creations: If your socialite Sim has
anything to say about it, they won’t have time or the inclination to sit
at home and read, but at least their books will look nice arranged just
so in this pretty bookcase.

Outfits
-----------------------------

- Trestles Attire: Cool and casual whether the surf is up or not, teen
girls love this outfit of shorts and tank, paired with a peak-a-boo
bikini top.

- Teahupo Choice : The tide comes in; the tide goes out. But the
laidback look of surfer styles never goes out of fashion. Your Sim teens
can sport the look even if they’ve never been to a beach.

- Not A Material Girl : Your Sim will breathe deep and relax in these
soft and stylish yoga pants and top. Whether she wears them for sun
salutations or to lounge around on Saturdays, she’ll look sporty and
stylish.


PERFORMANCE TIPS
----------------
When you run The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff for the first time, the
game will automatically configure its graphics options based on your
machine's specs. If game performance seems sluggish or choppy, there are
a few things you can try to improve things:

* Make sure your computer meets the game's system requirements (see
above). If you do not meet these requirements, the game is unlikely to
run acceptably.
* The number of Sims and pets you have on your lot is one of the biggest
factors in determining performance. Lots with low numbers of Sims and
pets (4 or less) will run more smoothly than lots with many Sims and
pets (8+).
* In the game, go to the Graphics/Performance Options panel. Reducing or
turning off options will improve the game's performance. Reflections,
Screen Size, and Smooth Edges are the options that will affect your
frame rate the most, followed by Shadows and Lighting.
* In the Audio Options panel, moving the Audio Quality slider all the
way to the left will improve game performance.
* Turn off all other applications while running the game.
* Some large showcase lots in the game (like 1 Wright Way in
Pleasantview) may be slow when scrolling around. Frame rate should pick
up considerably when the camera stops moving and you are interacting
with the Sims.
* Adding RAM to your system is an efficient way to improve performance.
* Defragment your hard drive regularly for optimal disk performance
(Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter).
* System performance will get worse if your hard drive becomes more than
85% full.  Try to keep enough free disk space.


KNOWN ISSUES
------------
Low Hard Drive Space: If you run out of hard drive space while playing
The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff, the game will be unable to store new
data, such as saved games, video captures, and new neighborhoods. In
certain cases, when attempting to save the game with no hard drive
space, the game will appear to save, even though data has not been
stored. Please make sure you have at least 150 MB of free hard drive
space when running the game.

Wheel Mouse Camera Rotation: If you're unable to rotate the camera by
using your mouse wheel, please make sure that you set the scroll wheel
button function to autoscroll in your mouse settings.

Installation/Un-Installation: If you experience any problems installing
or uninstalling the game, please temporarily close any virus scanning
software you have, and try again.

Locale Settings: Depending on your version of Windows, you will have two
or three places where your locale settings are stored. If these settings
are not consistent with each other, you may experience problems saving
movies, and may have extra saved game folders generated under My
Documents (or Documents if you're running on Vista). In order to fix the
problem, you will need to make sure all of your locale settings match.
For example, if you are playing The Sims 2 in Thai, all your settings
should reflect Thai location and language:

Windows 2000: Open the Regional Options Control Panel, and set the Your
Locale option. Then click Set Default..., and select the appropriate
location. These two settings must match.

Windows XP: Open the Regional and Language Options Control Panel. Under
Standards and formats, select your language option, and then select your
location in the location field. Click Apply, then go to the Advanced
tab. Select the correct language in the Language for non-Unicode
programs field, and check the box under Default account user settings.
Then click OK. Make sure you reboot to complete this process.

Incompatibility with SB Audigy2 or SB Audigy2 ZS sound card on Windows
98SE:
The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack is not compatible with the SB
Audigy2 or SB Audigy2 ZS sound card, when running on Windows 98SE.
If you have one of these sound cards on the Windows 98SE operating
system, and are experiencing problems starting up The Sims 2 Teen Style
Stuff, updating to the VXD driver for that sound card may fix the
problem.

Windows 98:
  4.0 and 5.1 speaker configuration not available on some Windows 98
  sound drivers, and only stereo is available. (Sound Blaster Live!,
  Sound Blaster Audigy, Forte Media FM801) Updating to the latest
  drivers may allow these options to be selectable.
  NVidia NForce 2: sound problems when selecting 4.0 or 5.1 speakers.  
  Sound is played correctly only in stereo.
  M-Audio Sonica Theater 7.1: Sound frequently pauses and skips.  
  Upgrading to the latest drivers may help.


WINDOWS VISTA ISSUES
--------------------

On Windows Vista, your game data is stored in a different place.  
Instead of being in a My Documents folder, your game data will be saved
in your Documents folder (usually: C:\Users\\Documents)

If you are having problems running on Vista, please check with your
graphics card manufacturer for the latest drivers.

Vista requires a DirectX 9 compatible video card.  While older cards may
run just fine, they are unsupported and drivers may not be updated.

Here are some of the known issues:

NVIDIA GEFORCE SERIES

PROBLEM: Throughout the Pleasant House loading screen the monitor
flashes black several times before falling out of sync
and into power save mode. The monitor then flashes back on and the
process repeats. The Windows Vista Notification
Area displays a message saying "Display driver stopped responding and
has recovered." Gameplay does not progress beyond
this loading screen.
CARDS: Geforce 7800 GTX SLI
Please check for updated drivers.  Disabling SLI will work around the
issue.

zoom level or camera viewing angle is changed.
CARDS: GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI
Please check for updated drivers.  Disabling SLI will work around the
issue.

Please check for updated drivers.  In the meantime, adjust your graphics
details to improve your framerate.

drivers for your hardware.

WINDOWED MODE
-------------
To run The Sims(TM) 2 Teen Style Stuff in windowed mode, first create a
shortcut to the game by right-clicking on sims2sp6.exe and selecting
"Create Shortcut." Then, right-click the shortcut and select properties.
At the end of the "target" line, add a space and the text "-w" (without
quotes). Click OK, and then launch the game by double-clicking on the
shortcut. Running the game in a window will allow you to more easily
switch between different programs, but please note that running other
programs at the same time as The Sims 2 will be detrimental to the
game's performance. Also note that edge scrolling does not function in
windowed mode. If you experience any graphical anomalies, please make
sure your desktop is set to 32-bit color.

Other command line options:

 -w      windowed mode

changeLotZoning [residential | community | greek | dorm |
secretsociety]: changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a
lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in
the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone,
and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options.

boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled true/false: enables build/buy mode
tools that would normally be disabled when in a dorm lot.

boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true/false: allows users to rotate
any object in 45 degree increments instead of the 90 degree increments
used for most objects.

The Sims 2 Cheats:
------------------
help: lists all the cheats in the game.

help [cheatname]: displays specific information about the cheat.

exit: closes the cheat window.

expand:   expands or contracts the cheat window.

moveObjects on/off: removes footprint limitation for all object
placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed on hand
tool for when objects are in use, or are normally non-movable
objects.This is known to cause issues with game elements, routing,
hidden object generation and manipulation, etc. Note that using this
cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such
as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. If you delete these objects,
there is no way to get them back, so be careful!

aging -on/off: prevents Sims from aging. This can disrupt the carefully
tuned gameplay balance, and will prevent little Johnny from ever growing
up, so treat this cheat with care as well.

autoPatch -on/off: This cheat lets you re-enable notifications when
there is a game update available for The Sims 2. Just turn Autopatch on
and go to the Custom Content Browser (the little snowflake button on the
UCP in the neighborhood). If there's an update available you'll be asked
whether you want to download it.  

slowMotion [value]: The slowMotion cheat takes one parameter: the
"slowness" setting (such as slowMotion 4). This value ranges from 0 to 8
where 0 is normal speed and 8 is the slowest speed.

boolProp enablePostProcessing true/false: enables the use of
postprocessing cheats (see below); very useful for movie making (also
see below). Please note that you must have a video card that can handle
pixel shaders in order to successfully use this cheat. If you use the
cheats and you don't have pixel shaders, the screen will most likely go
partially dark, and will not come back until you turn off
enablePostProcessing. If you turn on postprocessing, and you turn on
cinematics, and a cinematic plays, you may also experience unwanted
graphical glitches.

bloom [r g  b x] (rgb is color) (x is the bloom amount) [0.0 - 1.0]:
This cheat adds a blur effect, like a sitcom flashback moment. You must
have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

vignette [centerX centerY X] (X is the vignetteing factor) [0.0 - 1.0]:
Adds a blur effect from the specified center. Using "vignette 0.5 0.5
0.5" should put some blurry bits at the edge of the screen. Vignette 0.5
0.5 1.0 is maximum edge blurriness. You must have entered boolProp
enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

filmGrain [val] [0.0-1.0]: This cheat makes the screen grainy. You must
have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

letterBox [val] [0.0-0.4]: Adds a letterbox effect to the view. You must
have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

VIDEO CAPTURING
---------------
The ability to create movies with The Sims 2 is built right into the
game. You can simply start creating a movie in game by pressing the 'v'
key on your keyboard and 'v' again to end the movie. You can also pause
and un-pause the capture (without pausing the game) by pressing the 'b'
key while recording. There are also various options for the quality of
the movies that you can create. Please note that adjusting the Video
Capture options in the game will affect the performance of the game.

Changing your Video Capturing options:
What screen size will my video capture be (in pixels)?

Small = 128 x 128
Medium = 320 x 240
Large = 640 x 480

What difference does adjusting Video Capture Size in Camera Options
make?

Low: This option will provide the highest amount of compression for
resolution. Videos made with this option turned on will be of lower
visual quality, but save on hard drive space and will affect performance
the least.

Medium: With medium selected the video resolution will increase, but the
videos will take up more hard drive space and will affect performance a
bit more than low.

High: Selecting high will provide videos with the lowest amount of
compression for resolution. Videos made with this option turned on will
be of the highest compressed quality, but this option will increase the
file size of the videos significantly. It is recommended to only use
this option if you have a 1.4GHz machine or faster.

Uncompressed: This option will not compress the video capture.
Uncompressed will tend to create very large file sizes, about on the
order of ten times larger than the high quality setting. It is not
recommended to use this option unless you have at least a 2.4Ghz machine
or faster, and a faster hard drive helps as well (ATA100 or greater).
This option is ideal for advanced users who wish to change the videos to
other formats.  

Video Sound Capture: This option will either enable or disable sound
from being captured in the Video Captures you create. Having this option
enabled will affect the overall performance of the game during the video
capture, and will also increase the file size of the video capture.

*Tip: If recording frame rate is low and your video seems choppy, try
recording with the sound off. This will allow the game to slow down the
simulator to match the recording frame rate so that playback will be
smooth.

*Tip: Video recording should work with all configurations. It may take
some experimentation to determine the balance of size, frame rate and
quality that works for your system.

*Tip: Recording at the maximum quality with sound will only perform
acceptably on very high-end systems. On most machines, you will have to
sacrifice either sound or quality to record with a smooth frame rate.

*Advanced Tips: All the video capture settings default values are in an
.ini file that you can edit. You can modify things like capture frame
rate, default folder to capture to, file naming, capture size, max bit
rate, and preferred codecs. Want to capture in a different codec? Just
install the codec and then make it the preferred codec. The file is
located here: My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Config\VideoCapture.ini.

*Tips for making great videos: Plan your shots! Be sure to use both
standard camera mode (F10 will hide the interface menus) and also the
Cameraman mode (aka free camera) activated via the 'TAB' key. Cameraman
mode is available in both Neighborhood and lots and allows for very
controllable and super close movements as well as sweeping pan and
zooming type shots. This will take practice but once you get the hang of
it, you can make some really incredible video captures with Cameraman
mode!

*Advanced Tip for making great videos: Sometimes, the in-game camera
restrictions can hinder that perfect shot. The Cameras in the game are
tuned for game play, but sometimes they are not the best for making that
really great video you are looking for. You can try editing the camera
settings, but make sure you backup the old ones first before
experimenting with things like min height, max height, speed per step,
amount per key press, field of view etc. Do this at your own risk as
these changes will also effect how the camera moves in the game. Making
changes to these settings may make the game unplayable. Advanced users
only! The camera txt files are here: My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims
2\Cameras

Sharing video captures with friends but they cannot view the video? We
included the codec On2 VP6.1 with The Sims 2 base product. On2
Technologies, Inc. offers free downloads of VP6.2 for personal use. In
our tests, it appears to be seamlessly backwards compatible with VP6.1.
Please visit the On2 Technologies website for more information.

WEB CONTENT
-----------
Players who wish to take advantage of The Sims 2 web features must
simply have an Internet connection and a current web browser.

The Sims 2 encourages players to create and modify their own wonderful
Sim worlds. However, objects, patches, programs or other modified
content not created by Maxis are not always compatible with The Sims 2.
 If you are experiencing issues with your game and downloads, try
uninstalling or removing your downloaded content and introducing it
slowly back into your install. This will help narrow down the
problematic file. For more information refer to our help pages at
http://www.thesims2.com.

CUSTOM CONTENT
--------------
You can add your own content to the game for music, TV channels, video
games, collections, neighborhood terrain, and neighborhood pictures.
Create your own skins with The Sims 2 Body Shop and create wall
coverings, flooring, and ground cover with The Sims 2 HomeCrafter Plus
(available for download from http://www.thesims2.com).

Skins, Wall Coverings, Flooring, and Ground Cover: To use a .sims2skin
or .sims2pack file that someone has created using The Sims 2 Body Shop
or The Sims 2 HomeCrafter Plus, just double-click the file. The file
will install itself automatically no matter where it is located on your
computer.

Music: In order to play your own music in the game, just go to My
Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Music, and drop your .wav or .mp3 files in
the appropriate folder.

MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and
THOMSON multimedia.

TV channels: To have your own movies played on the in-game TV channels,
just go to My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Movies\ and place .avi files
in the appropriate folder. Ideally, the files should have stereo sound,
and be in a 128x128 pixel format; otherwise they will be stretched to
fit.

Video games: In order to have your own files played as video games, take
any existing .avi file that you have. Then browse to one of the game
subfolders under My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Movies\Games\ and
place your files in the appropriate folder. Rename your movie as the
exact name of one of the existing movie files (gamename_ATTRACT.avi,
gamename_INTRO.avi, gamename_P1LOSE.avi, P1WIN.avi, gamename_P2LOSE.avi,
or gamename_P2WIN.avi, where gamename=bus, ssx, or sc4). Then when your
Sims play the corresponding game segment on a computer or video game
system, your movie(s) will play on the screen instead.

Arcade games (played on the Arcade Game objects): For these, place your
.avi files into the folder under My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims
2\Movies\Arcade\ and use the exact names of the existing movie files
(gamename_intro.avi, gamename_loop2.avi, gamename_loop3.avi,
gamename_loop4_win.avi, gamename_loop4_lose.avi, gamename_loop5.avi, and
so on, where gamename=game1 for Maze Pirates or game2 for Viking). When
your Sims play the corresponding Arcade Game(s), your movie(s) will play
on the screen instead.

Collection icons: To use your own icon for a custom collection, simply
drop any .tga, .jpg, .png, or .bmp file into My Documents\EA GAMES\The
Sims 2\Collections\Icons, and your picture will show up as an option
when you create a new collection. Since pictures will be stretched to
fit the format, they should be small and roughly square for best
results.

Custom Neighborhoods Using SimCity 4 Terrain:
New custom neighborhoods for the Sims 2 can be created using SimCity 4
terraforming tools. First, only small cities can be imported into The
Sims 2, so be sure not to start with a medium or large city. Make sure
the city you use contains roads; otherwise you will not be able to place
lots in your new neighborhood. Take the .sc4 file you wish to use, and
place it in your My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\SC4Terrains folder.
When you go to the neighborhood creation screen in the game, your
terrain will be available to use to create a new neighborhood.

When creating custom neighborhoods, please also note the following:

Most of the terrain features created with the God mode tools can be
imported, including foliage (except for palm trees); however, fauna
(animals) are not imported. Also note that terrains are imported
mirrored from the original SimCity layout.

Switching to Mayor Mode, only original SimCity 4 road bridges or SC4
Deluxe small steel arch bridges, manually laid roads/street that are
straight, right angle bend, cul-de-sacs, and T & 4 way intersections are
imported as streets into Sims 2 neighborhoods. Diagonal roads and
railroads are ignored and not imported. Practically all other placeable
features are ignored upon import: zones, elevated
roads/highways/freeways, buildings or other facilities, airports,
landmarks, etc.

Once loaded into the game a neighborhood's default terrain type can
still be modified via the following cheat:
1. With the neighborhood you wish to change loaded, open the cheat
dialog by pressing Ctrl-Shift-C.
2. Type:
   terrainType Desert  (Changes current neighborhood terrain type
   to Desert. Note that the cheat is case sensitive.)
   terrainType Temperate  (Changes current neighborhood terrain
   type to grassy terrain. Note that the cheat is case sensitive.)

CUSTOM NEIGHBORHOOD PICTURE
---------------------------
In order to create a custom picture to represent your neighborhood on
the main menu, first save the picture you wish to use as a .png file (a
4x3 size ratio works best, but pictures with other proportions will be
stretched to fit).

For "home" (non-expansion/stuff) neighborhoods: The file must be named
N0XX_Neighborhood.png (where XX is the neighborhood number). Then place
the file in the neighborhood's directory (e.g., My Documents\EA
GAMES\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N004).

THE SIMS 2 BODY SHOP
--------------------
Overview:
The Sims 2 Body Shop is a powerful tool that lets you design unique and
diverse Sims that will be playable in The Sims 2 and sharable with your
friends. You can create custom content such as clothing, skin tones, eye
colors, hair, or glasses that can be used in any combination to make
infinitely unique Sims.

The Sims 2 Body Shop also gives you incredible control over your Sims'
faces through the ability to select from a diverse range of facial
"types" and sliders to fine tune even the smallest details, such as nose
length, eyebrow thickness, lip curl, and chin shape.

User's Manual:
A complete user's manual is available on http://www.thesims2.com.

Installation:
The Sims 2 Body Shop is included in The Sims 2 and is automatically
installed with the game. There is no separate installation necessary.

Installing New Content:
When installing new content, make sure that neither The Sims 2 nor The
Sims 2 Body Shop are currently running. Important note: DO NOT install
the Body Shop Maxis Starter Content Pack along with The Sims 2. This
content is already installed with The Sims 2; installing the starter
pack on top of The Sims 2 may corrupt your game data.

Hot Keys:
There are several hot keys in The Sims 2 Body Shop that help you preview
your Sims. Many of these can be used in combination to get a precise
view of your Sim.

F3 -- Toggles between "free camera" and "set camera" modes. In free
camera, you can use the following mouse controls to rotate the camera in
all dimensions:

* Click and drag the Left Mouse Button -- Orbits the camera around the
Sim's head.

* Click and drag the Right Mouse Button -- Controls the camera zoom.
Move the mouse away from you to zoom out. Move the mouse toward you to
zoom in.

* Click and drag Left and Right mouse buttons together -- Changes the
center point the camera is looking at.

F5 -- Toggles the 3D room off and on. If there is a bitmap graphic named
"userBkg.bmp" in the "\EA Games\The Sims 2\" folder in My Documents, the
image will be displayed as a backdrop.

F6 -- Displays the Sim in the "bind pose," with arms held straight out.
This is helpful for viewing parts of the Sim that may be hidden by the
normal pose. To return the Sim to the normal pose click on any Sim
thumbnail or content thumbnail.

F7 -- While in "set camera" mode, displays the Sim at the far zoom
position.

F8 -- While in "set camera" mode, displays the Sim at the near zoom
position.

F9 -- Toggles the UI off and on.

< and > -- Rotates the Sim. (Also shown on the keyboard as the comma ","
and period "." keys.)

Display Options:
Pressing ALT+ENTER will toggle The Sims 2 Body Shop between windowed
mode (default) and full-screen.

You can manually set the screen size to 800x600 by creating a copy of
The Sims 2 Body Shop shortcut.
To create a shortcut, right click on TS2BodyShop.exe and choose "Create
Shortcut". To edit the shortcut, right click on the shortcut and select
"Properties." At the end of the line called "Target", add a space after
the existing text and type "-r800x600" at the end of the path name.

To set the screen resolution to 1024x768 follow the same steps, but
instead type "-r1024x768".

Known Issues:
Issue: Textures may appear blurry on video cards with minimum spec video
memory (32 MB)
Solutions:
 * Run The Sims 2 Body Shop in 800x600 screen size (see instructions in
 Display Options section above)
 * Reduce your monitor's desktop resolution to 800x600

Issue: Skin Tone projects that were saved using the pre-release download
version of The Sims 2 Body Shop will not load correctly in the "Load
Saved Projects" screen in this version. The projects also will not
"Import to Game" successfully. This does not affect custom Skin Tones
that already were imported successfully with the pre-release version of
The Sims 2 Body Shop.
Solutions: Please check TheSims2.com for more information on this issue.

I don't understand what it means by installing in the same location as the sims 2. Where should I put this then? PLus it says to install sims 2 again, does that mean sims 2 and all expansions?
Thank you

If you let the install run on it's own without manually picking an install location, it will automatically pick a different one than the original and you won't have to worry about reinstalling.

trace - the warning is sort of a "no brainer", but can confuse the bejeezus out of you if you never played the original The Sims (which used the same folder for everything base game + eps).  It's basically there as a warning to people who played the original game.
