How to Fully Overhaul The Sims 2 Bodyshop (Mods List)
Here are all the mods you can use to make your BodyShop look like this:
or even something like this:
This is how the default BodyShop looks. Is small, dark, and kinda ugly:
Brightness
The Brightening up BodyShop mod by WesHowe on MTS will make BodyShop look like this:
There are 3 levels of brightness to choose from. I use the XB version.
Widescreen + Clean/Starship UI
Using BodyShop Clean UI & Widescreen by SmugTomato on MTS with the previous mod, will make BodyShop look like this:
Or if you prefer a darker interface, you can use the Starship UI Bodyshop by redandvidya on MTS:
Backgrounds
There are two kinds of backgrounds on BodyShop; a 3D scene and a 2D image. The 3D scene is the one you see in the pictures above, and the 2D is a flat image that appears when you press F5. There are default replacements for both of these, and you can have one of each type at the same type without problems.
2D Backgrounds
If you want to change the background that shows when you press F5, you can use one of these plain color backgrounds by @kat-simss. Here's how one of these looks:
Or you can use one of these matching Clean UI backgrounds by 다블리. Here's how one of these looks:
3D Backgrounds
If you want to change the background that shows when you open BodyShop without you having to press F5, you can use one of these replacements by @socialbunny. Here's how one of these looks:
Or you can use one of these by windkeeper on MTS, that seem flat but are actually a 3D scene (so you can have 'flat' backgrounds without having to press F5 each time you open Bodyshop). Here's how one of these looks:
This is a default replacement for servo heads which makes their jaws animated.
Only high-detail meshes are affected. That means that in the Graphics/Performance Options you must have the Sim/Object Detail option set to High to see the change.
Known issues
The female servo lipstick is smeared under the jaw part. However, you may consider it a result of the jaw movement.
Conflicts
Do not use with any other default replacement meshes for servo heads, e.g. Classic Servo Default by LazyDuchess or T.O.B.O.R. from MySims as a Servo DR by Khal Ulti.
This default replacement may be used with default replacement textures for servos, e.g. Default Replacemet Servos by Dazro. However, some of them, e.g. Polished Oak Servos by hat_plays_sims, may look somewhat wrong when a servo moves their jaw.

Veronavillequiltingbee's V2 Edit of Io's 3/20 Skins Recolored
This was requested on simscord. I decided to take it on, and now I figure I'd upload it here too since I'm sure others might want these recolors. As the title states, these are recolors of this edit of these skins. I did them in Trapping's natural skin actions and 7 unnaturals by Trapping, @pooklet, and @furbyq. Naturals are geneticized and townified. The genetic scale is included in the download and based on the Party for One skinblend.
Let me know if there are any issues. I haven't play tested these since I don't intend on using them in my game, but if I were to go maxis match, these are totally the skins I'd use.
I already asked this question on discord, but might as well ask it here.
Is there a way to make the hands fit on the hips? I've tried changing the thigh target values in simpe, but that didn't work at all.

I'm making this post both because I like to group things under one post and because I need it as a link to add to my tracker, but still I think it will be useful for many!
Look here for other masterposts!
Special mention to this guide made by @celestialspritz ! - This guide explains how to install the various Bodyshop stuff (Default Rooms, Lighting Mods, Poses, Background etch) + there is a guide on how to install ReShade on BS, there are links for other poses, UI and Lighting mods and more things that aren't linked here!
I rolled the dice and I will be moving 4 couples to my town, because it's getting too interrelated already. The other option I was considering was to have an almhouse or just adding in townies.
The next round I will be focusing on the new families, as I need at least 1 child to be produced by each of them, to be married into my original families.
I rolled for their aspirations, but for personalities I looked into what star signs I had in my town to avoid the ones I had the most of.
I also made all of them have dominant genes - black or brown hair, and brown or dark blue eyes. It's because I made all my previous sims have recessive genes, and now I want all the genes to combine.

Meet the Yus: Soji and Shime. Soji turned out to be a Family sim (Virgo), and his wife Shime is a Fortune sim (Sagittarius).
Meet the Laos: Haru and Mazu. Haru is a Fortune sim (Leo) and his wife Mazu is a Popularity sim (Gemini).
Meet the Siews: Yutaka and Saku. Yutaka was rolled to be a Fortune Taurus, and Saku - a Romance Scorpio.
And finally meet the Tians: Hiroki and Fumi. Hiroki is a Popularity Capricorn and Fumi is a Family Aries.
These sims are meant to be very vaguely Asian-inspired. And I know it doesn't make much sense that my sims would meet them, but I would like to see my sims merge with these sims in 'ancient' times that are to come soon.
I might play them more MCC-style. I would like them to grow rice, tea etc. and also play instruments and fish, maybe do flower arrangements. A lot of the sims were rolled to be Fortune sims, so I feel like they would aspire to be merchants.

This post might be my 100th on this simblr (or very close to it)! I'm also nearing my 2-year anniversary.
I was about to recolor a few hair because I wanted some unnatural colors and realized I could make a few edits so here we are.
This is DeeDee 4t2 SavvySweet Amanda Afro edited. It’s not perfect by it fits my tastes better.
The texture was huge but only a very small part of it was used so I reduced the texture file from 1024x1024 to 512x512 and remapped the mesh (it means already existing recolors won’t work anymore). Then I edited the mesh a bit so the fringe won’t eat the forehead anymore and tada. The pearl accessory by DeeDee won’t work anymore but I don’t use hair accessories so I don’t care. I inluded 4 natural Simgaroop colors by DeeDee.
This is a set of 23 multi-wearable subtle wrinkle masks based on maxis elder faces, available for young adults, adults, and elders. They can be found in the makeup/blush section.
I've also attached the full face masks in png format – in case you'd like to use them e.g. to create your own skintone.
Contents of the set
deep/shallow full face wrinkles
deep/shallow forehead wrinkles
deep/shallow frown lines
deep/shallow bunny lines
(slightly) droopy eyelids
deep/shallow crow's feet
deep/shallow tear troughs
mid cheek lines
cheek wrinkles
deep/shallow nasolabial folds

It's been summer time for a while now! Ever since Separates 4 All became a thing, I wanted all my swimwear to be one piece swimsuits. And it's finally done! Everything is repo’d to AF. Swatches and details undercut:

Bikinis are replaced with Frilly Swimsuit V2 by DeeDee, recolors by Kooli-sims (swatch).
Diving suits replaced with my recolors of Nichellerj swimsuits. Texture only (swatch).
Tankinis replaced wih Fleur Swimsuit by DeeDee, one recolor by Kooli-sims (swatch).
Singles replaced with DeeDee’s 4t2 trillyke Drippin’ Swimsuit. Texture only (swatch).
I'm using MalvernSims replacement of yfbodyswimwear, but I still wanted this swimsuit for some teens, so bluepaisley is also replaced with Kooli's recolor of Flutter Swimsuit (swatch).
That's all! Now if you are wondering what will happen to my sims who want bikinis? Well… stay tuned 🤫
Oh boy. I feel like if you like this skin, there's pretty much every shade you could want at this point. This will be my last upload related to the Remix Skinblend, originally created by @annachibisims and based on @whysim's Miscellaneous Skin 31. Unless of course I messed something up and have to fix it lol
This set contains 14 shades: the base tone, 12 natural tones by Trapping, and Trapping's Galaxy Quest. Bodyshop swatch:
The freckles I applied on top of the original skin were Deedee's Oliver freckles for the body (which I extracted from an overlay box by themeasureofasim) and Jessi's Freckles 27 for the face. I like that the face freckles are concentrated around the nose.
Some more skin details: babies and toddlers don't have any freckles, elders have light wrinkles, the teen/child faces are slightly different from the adult faces to look more youthful, and teens/adults have fitness states.
I made a custom and geneticized+townified set. The green alien shade is custom in both. I included a file showing the genetic scale in the gen+town download, but It's literally the exact same as my original recolors of this skin.
If this is your first time seeing these skins, here are links to the other Remix Skinblend posts: Annachibisims original skin and unnatural recolors, my recolors in Trapping's tones, and my recolors in AlfredAskew's RBG tones.
