Pets B.S. Patch corrupted my Bodyshop!

[sunken-woglinde]

Alright, I have a bit of a problem with my Bodyshop right now.
As far as I knew, my Bodyshop was working just fine until I downloaded the new Pets EP Bodyshop Patch from the EA site and installed it. The installation seemed to go smoothly, but afterwards when I clicked to open Bodyshop, an error window came up which read:

"The Sims 2 Body Shop has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience.", and then the typical 'send Microsoft an error report' message.

I read a "My Bodyshop is not working!" Tutorial and tried deleteing Group.cache and all those files reccomended, and nothing worked. I rebooted my computer-- still nothing.

I also should note that my computer itself had been in the repair shop for two weeks recently, though I would be surprised if that had anything to do with it.

What I'm asking is, is there any way that my Bodyshop can be repaired-- without reinstalling my Sims2 game or expansion packs completely? Will I have to download Legacy Bodyshop instead?

Thank you, please help!

First move temporarily your saved sims folder to desktop.If then bodyshop works it must be one of those fiels that's corrupted.

Try moving out of your saved sims fodler a couple of your latest files in your one by one then move the folder back to the game and see if it opens.I know it sucks but i get this error plenty of times due to corrupted files in bdyshop.I might loose something but at least it works afterwards.

Thank you for the help! Apparently the problem had an extremely simple answer-- I was opening the original TS2 Bodyshop, not the Pets Version. The program has opened now and is loading, so it should be working fine now.
Thank you!
