Bodyshop is borked. D:
SaraMK:
You know, looking slightly closer at your pic, I would say you are definitely running low on RAM. Look at all the crap you have open! And I bet a ton of that crap is set to start up automatically when you start your computer, which means your RAM is drained before you even have a chance to run Bodyshop.
With less than 1GB of RAM, you can't afford to lose any of it to other programs when trying to run a RAM-hungry program like BS.
seveneleven:
Most times before I run TS2 Bodyshop I open Task Manager and manually end all programs and/or processes I don't need. The first time the WTFness occurred, though, I had a crapload of things open. So I'm not going to eliminate that as a possible cause.
Also, what's this about a corrupted objects file?
SaraMK:
Sometimes the game randomly destroys its own files. A corrupted objects.package, Sims##.package, etc. can cause all sorts of problems.
If everything is broken, it's probably not that, because it's very unlikely that all of them (there is one objects.package for each EP, and many Sims## files) would become corrupted. If, however, the broken stuff is from one EP only, then a corrupted file could be suspected. In either case, you would see the same problem in the game as in BS.
Still, at this point you have nothing to lose by reinstalling the whole damn game. It certainly can't make your problem any worse, can it? :(
morriganrant:
Sometimes the core files become corrupt and can cause odd graphic issues in game.
The problem here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9070.0.html was caused by bad custom meshes but I've had similar happen in my game when one of the core files goes corrupt and I had something similar to your problem when my objects.package became corrupt. I don't know if body shop looked like your picture at the time. I discovered the problem in game, I rarely use body shop. It wouldn't hurt to replace your core files. Possibly for the base game. You don't have to reinstall. You can manually pull the files from the cd and unzip them into the core files on your pc, allowing them to overwrite the ones that are there.
If it's only happening in body shop and not the game too then that is probably not it.
There's more on it in the wiki.

Edit: SaraMK got to it. A complete install probably wouldn't be a bad idea if you feel that manually replacing the core files would be beyond you or too much trouble. Anyway, you never know what may have become corrupt and where. I once had a Ep and Sps files go corrupt at the same time. Probably will never happen again, but it can happen. I now make sure everything is read only.
seveneleven:
Urgh. I was about to replace the objects files, but I think I'm just going to go all out and reinstall everything tomorrow. I can't live without mah Bodyshop, and it'll give me a chance to start out with unfucked 'hoods and a clean DL folder.
