This page will give you step by step instructions on how use The Sims 2 Body Shop.

Step 1: Go to your Programs, then EA Games, then The Sims 2, then click on The Sims 2 Body Shop. When the main screen opens click on CREATE PARTS. (as shown in Image 1) Then click on START NEW PROJECT. Continue on to Step 2.

 

Step 2: Next you select the category that you want to edit. I want to create some new pants so I am going to click on CREATE CLOTHING. After you select the category select an age, gender, and fit for the clothes that you want to edit. Then go through the categories of clothing and find the exact item that you want to edit and click on it. Then click on EXPORT SELCETED TEXTURES. (as shown in Image 2) It will then ask you to name your project. I am going to call mine "tutorial", but you can name your’s whatever you like. Then click on OK and it will export the textures so that you can edit them. Note: The fit option does not always appear and only appears when you select an item of clothing. Continue on to Step 3.

Step 3: When it is done exporting it will show a screen that looks something like the one in Image 3. Click on CANCEL and then OK. Do not close Body Shop. Continue on to Step 4.

Step 4: Next go and open your desired graphic-editing program. I am going to use Paint, but you could use some other program like a photo editor. Then open the texture file that you exported in that program. It is located in My Documents * EA Games * The Sims 2 * Projects * what ever you named your project - Now edit it any way you like. (as shown in Image 4) Be sure to save your work! Then close your graphic-editing program. Continue on to Step 5.

Step 7: Now all you have to do is close Body Shop and run The Sims 2 game and when you go to Create A Sim your custom content will be available for use. (as shown in Image 7) It’s that easy!
