I have Bodyshop Mechanic, and wherever I put it, it keeps saying it can't find Bodyshop. I have bodyshop, and use it constantly. I tried going to the download site but that has been removed by the provider. The reason is given, and the creator is asked to contact the site provider, so I can't ask there. Thanks.

Dr Pixel hasn't been on MTS2 for a while, but you could still try PMing him here. Which EPs do you have?

All I have is the basic game. Even so, bodyshop Mechanic should be able to find it, I think. I didn't choose any special directory. I just used the defaults. Dr. Pixel hasn't answered, and it looks like his site is going to be down for quite a while, too.

Thanks.

What is the exact error? Could you post a screenshot?

Here is a link to the pic. Bodyshop is HERE on my computer "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe" so it's in the right place. The link to the error pic is http://www.evilshare.com/cbb835da-c45d-102b-8dfa-0007e90cfb90 . I tried uninstalling Mechanic and re-installing it, with the same error.

Thanks, Mike

Wow dude *rubs eyes to get rid of porn images* You seriously need to use an image host, like Photobucket or Imageshack, instead of that site. Major porn pop-unders!

For your game, what is your latest EP? There is a new version of Bodyshop with each EP, so the mechanic should look for the latest EP bodyshop. I've never used this program and I don't know when support was discontinued, but it is possible that it is incompatible with the later EPs. Is there an .ini file or some preferences with it where you can edit the Bodyshop path in the Bodyshop mechanic program files?

Sorry. I really didn't know it was porn. I'll try photobucket next time. It said nothing about it, except I could upload anything quickly and was ad supported.

All I have is the basic game.
