Title: Bodyshop Questions and Problems
Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 June 29, 22:57:10
Does bodyshop have it's own patch, I've got Seasons installed?  When I try to package one of my sims, none of the CC is included in the sims2pack.

I open bodyshop, package sim, select the sim, choose package sim to file, fill in the info and click ok.  It puts the result on the desktop.  However when I check the properties it's only 888KM, and when I open it with Clean Installer it contains only the one entry, and none of the skintones...etc.

What I am doing wrong?  I assume Season's fixed the Pets bodyshop problem. ???

I'd like to package all my sims up, empty my downloads folder and reinstall only the necessary CC that each Sim uses.

1. Do you use skintone and/or eye color default replacements  in your game?
2. Do you have Pets? (I assume you do)
3. Stupid question here: are you sure that the clothing/makeup/etc. the Sim is using is actually Custom Content and not Maxis made (perhaps from an EP or stuff pack you don't normally use)?

As far as I know, BodyShop doesn't have its own patch.

There was an intermediate Bodyshop patch before the first Pets patch, but normally Bodyshop is patched along with the game itself when required. Pets P1 and every subsequent release (including Seasons) does no longer have the BS problem.

1.) I've used ChristianLovs skintone selector initially, then when I rebuilt the hood, I packaged each of the sims and built a new sim in a new hood.  It knows what skintone, etc to use, it just doesn't include them.

2.) Yes, and I used the patch, same with Seasons (patch 3)

3.) I know skintone and makeup is custom content.

If I remove my downloads folder and install the sims2pack, it doesn't install the CC, rather it uses the defaults.  Could this remotely be related to a hack?  Although I doubt hacks would cause any problems with Bodyshop.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that if I clone a sim before packaging, it will have all his stuff, while if I package that sim directly by the BS bin it will not.
(I have only Pets, patched, not Seasons).

That did the trick! Finally I can really clean up my downloads.
