Hi guys, I just know one of you simmy experts can help me with this. I'm sure this is something incredibly simple that I have failed to do but this one has had me stumped for 3 months now! yer, Kinda over it!! My bodyshop wont show any of my downloaded clothes (!!), or skins, or eyes, or anything good, :blah: :blah: :blah: what's that about!!
I have everything extracted to my downloads folder (Game installed default) and everything works and shows (besides from a few bunnyheads) in the game fine. But for some reason I only have boring old maxis defaults in the bodyshop.
Any ideas?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Did you put your downloaded clothes in My Documents / EA Games / The Sims 2 / Downloads?

Make sure they are also in the Downloads folder and not a subfolder.

Also make sure they're .package file, not .zip, .rar, or .sims2skin.

That's how mine is. Meh, I wish I could help but I've just learned to deal with it.

They are in Sims2packfile or DBPF package as downloaded. They are in the correct folder....
how do I get them to be .package? They have all downloaded as they are, I haven't tampered with them at all??

I have a separate account just for playing The Sims2 so if I open Body Shop under my regular acct, the stuff I extracted into the My Documents / EA Games / The Sims 2 / Downloads folder under The Sims 2 account doesn't show up. Maybe this helps you?

Edit/ You need to double click on the Sim2Pack files then they will extract to your download folder. If you have Clean Install, you can extract indivdual files that way.

So how do you get it to show up?

Im a newbie, so sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it seemed appropriate to what I am looking for as well, except I am tryin to package my sims from my gfame, together or individually and make them accessible in bodyshop. I found the saved sims files and moved them manually, using the clean install, etc. just not showing up as skins/simmies for me to manipulate and use elsewhere or altogether. Help?
