This is being saved into your 'Saved Sims' folder in My Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 & will be readable by body shop. You're best to change the file name as leaving it with the original name may cause Body Shop to crash & fail (thanks skittlebox). Name the exported file something that you will remember. You'll see that the word " Export" is now blue & clickable. The image of the Sim you are exporting will now be displayed on the right hand side above the word "Use". With the image of the sim highlighted, left-click that word. On the right hand section of that box is the blue word " Use". Single left-click the image of the sim you want to extract. Scroll down until you find the sim you want to extract (you can jump to the start of a letter by pressing it on your keyboard). On the left is a column of sim image thumbnails, sorted alphabetically by first name. This time go Neighbourhoods, Sim Surgery. When it's loaded, go back up to the tools menu. There's a little green load progress bar at the bottom left of screen which you can watch while you attempt patience =P The program is loading every single character file in that neighbourhood, complete with genetics, relationships, memories & skills etc etc etc. There will be a pop up to select which neighbourhood you want to open, select the one that the sim you want to extract is in. In the top bar menu, select Tools, Neighbourhood & then Neighbourhood Browser.

The sims 2 body shop install how to#
This tutorial shows how to package a sim that is born in game & how to correctly package it, as well as how to include its custom content should you wish to.įirst of all, you need SimPE.

This is not good they cause issues in the games they get installed into.īody Shop makes the packaging process take a bit longer, but it means it that all the necessary data is embedded with the shared Sim. I've noticed there have been a few people sharing. But in order to extract or package a sim, you first need to know how to do it in a way that wont create issues for someone else's game when it's installed. And then installing what we download from others into our games to create stories, or play challenges with. Well we all know the pixel_trade community is all about sharing sims that its members have either created or bred in game.
