My on board graphix that came with my new comp would play the sims2 and a bunch of other games. But would not support body shop nore (just for info) would it run vampire the masquerade bloodlines. But as soon as I went and shelled out for a new GeFORCE 6600 and installed it body shop worked Now if I could just learn how to mesh in this version I would be happy. Oh well can't have everything. - Hope this helps

It has a conflict with TS2/Uni but is fixed with NL/OfB. I've heard people getting the downloadable Body Shop that was released before the game works okay for them (I think it's still available on download.com) but when I tried it (as I had this problem myself before NL/OfB) installing the downloadable Body Shop made my game itself stop working, and I had to uninstall Body Shop and the game and reinstall the game for it to work again. Your mileage may vary, but the easiest solution I've found is to just get one of the newer EPs, especially if you were planning on it already. The downloadable Body Shop doesn't have much in it, and doesn't seem to want to take new meshes at all, so it really limits your creation... It also screws up skintones on babies. So... yeah. There ya go.
