Helpful tricks and hacks for BodyShop -- I hope it makes your creating experience more enjoyable!


Brighter BodyShop

Allows you to better see custom content, including easier test fitting of your creations, and make better screen shots.

Note: Light colors, like the pale blue and ivory sweaters need the least bright hack to prevent "washout;" dark colors, like the witch outfit, may need the brightest to bring out the details.


True Nude in BodyShop

True Nude in CAS

Allows you to check your skintones on their assigned nude meshes. Also allows downloaders to ensure that they have all the required meshes for a skintone.

Warning! Back Alley Sims is an adult site and requires visitors to be over 18!


Maxis Premade Sim Templates Hider

Hides the Maxis Sim Templates in BodyShop and CAS. Hallelujah!


Greg Bennett's suggestion for skinners (and people attempting to install missing meshes): "Every time I make new or install new clothes, I delete the CASthumbnails.package from My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails so that the game will regenerate the preview pictures of the clothing."


All polo shirts, from child to elder, can use the same texture.  Recolor once, import into up to seven projects!
