EP002 - NLS: Body Shop - The Sims Modcast

In this NLS (Non-Live Show) episode, Samantha and Terri discuss the ins and outs of Body Shop--the custom content creator that ships with The Sims 2 game and each of its expansion packs. We give a brief overview of what Body Shop is and a quick step-by-step example on how you use it. We tell our likes and dislikes about Body Shop as a modding tool as well as experiences we had with our own Body Shop projects.

If you would like to tell us about your favorite mods or mods you've made, please send us an e-mail at thesimsmodcast[at]gmail.com or call the listener line at 206-426-2805. We'd love to hear from you!
