The patch ruined my game - Now with pictures!

It actually doesn't matter which bodyshop you run, as the registry overrides make sure only the last version (ie NL) is loaded.
You can launch NL by clicking the original sims2.exe.

That wasn't the case for me - I was tearing my hair out back when University was released because Bodyshop decided it didn't want to work properly anymore - I'd only have something like three items of clothing in each category (three everyday adult female outfits, one adult male undies, three elder male everyday etc). Custom clothes wouldn't load, although custom makeup and hair etc would, and even most of the maxis stuff was invisible. Pain in the ass, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why it was broken. Eventually I discovered another version of Bodyshop in my University directory and used that instead - and it all worked perfectly again.

Indeed, the Nightlife shortcut to BodyShop should be used, not the old one.  Even so I'm not so sure this sounds like it's related to that.

One thing I've noticed is that installing expansions, patching, etc. tends to like to change graphic settings so since this seems to be a graphics problem I'd check those.

The only time I had a problem even remotely similar to this one was with a house in the neighborhood view.  Every time I would get that house on the screen to where I could even barely see it, the graphics would start going wonky, sort of like the house was a beacon and the distorted graphics were lights panning out from it.  I'm still clueless as to what that was all about and finally dozed the house because nothing I did would fix it.

For some reason i got the "jump Bug". Teens would reset in mid make out, kids would jump off chess board leaving books on seat......................., I had to take it out (well had to re-install)-It was fine without it-so I'll not bother with it

Regina:
Foxybaby, are you playing with any mods?  After installing NL I went and got an updated mod for one particular thing.  It had problems causing my sims to jump out of many of their interactions: toilet, phone, dining, etc.  Mostly I'd rather blame the game than the high quality mods the users create, but once in a while it seems something's a bit wonky. :)
