  • I just clicked on this cuz I saw Jessica Biel and I was curious to see if the finished Sim actually looks like her...

  • It didn't worked for me, I replayed the video over and over again to see what have I done wrong but I can't seem to find the mistake. I exported the all the face and body pics with the .bmp format and they are in the right folder.. still when I click on it when build a sim I see no difference with the normal base skins. All I can think of being the mistake here is the version of my bodyshop (which is 1.0 (2005) would It matter if I had a more recent version?

  • I made a George Lopez sim and a Miley cyrus sim and they went out....

  • Can someone make Alec Baldwin, Tobias Moretti and Enrique Igleasias for me, please?

  • hiii ive finishd but dont know what to sav it as i know u said to save it as a bmp but i dont know what that is :L and do i save it over the original sim or make a different name? thak you

  • @addicted2fashionandU usually at the bottom of the Save As menu, there's a drop down box that says Format. Click that, and the BMP format is the 2nd one at the top below Photoshop.

  • @vindicatedmess if all else fails copy the images (merged) and paste it in paint and save it there. :)

  • it just doesnt work. i tried to fix it for hours and i cant do it. its very frustrating. When I saved the file it did not come up on body shop, it just showed a plain sims.

  • @savethelephantnow Check to see if it's being saved as a .bmp after all editing has been done, and check if it is being saved in the right folder. If this doesn't help, I can't think of any other reason why it shows up in bodyshop as a plain sim.

  • I need to poo. D:

  • can u use paint instead of photoshop :/

  • Yes this is okay, but her like baby or her kids will be like aliens,,, ugly!

  • I <3 Paysitesmustbedestroyed, if I'm ever on peggy or anything. and theres something cute for pay, I go and hunt it down on it <3

  • Could you do one for sims 3?

  • Good job. Although the whole process is creepy. ಠ_ಠ

  • wow that's great. can you please make one of Jennifer Love Hewitt and post it on ModTheSims? O:

  • When i cop and paste the thing comes up small :L PLZ HELP

  • @XxQueenSweetDreamxX It's probably because the file you are using is too small for the skin texture. Find photo files that are 800 pixels and larger. These will turn out much higher of a quality than the smaller files.

  • Really great video. Uhm, though where do I get body shop? Does it comes with the sims 2?Thanks! If it comes on the sims 2 then great. Because i'm going to buy the sims 2 to make videos haha. thanks

  • @KellyGarciaChannel Yes, The Sims 2 Bodyshop is packaged with The Sims 2.

  • i figured it would i use it to make clothes just checking thanks

  • i have something called photo explosion would that work?

  • @luckykitty26 If Photo Explosion has similar functions that are used in this tutorial in Photoshop, then it should work.

  • woah that sim just doesnt look like a sim!!! LOL but excellent job! but i dont hav paint shop or anything but its inspired me!!! thank u!

  • can i use paint for it...i dont have photoshop or any of that...

  • @10coolcatz You can use any program that has similar functions that were used in this tutorial with Photoshop. Try to find something similar like Gimp or Paint.NET, both are free programs that work similarly to Photoshop.

  • @vindicatedmess i used to have paint.net and gimp (at seperate times) and they crashed my computer :/ can i use just regular old paint?

  • @JandK813 Paint doesn't have the same capabilities as Photoshop. I was just searching to see if there was an online editing program and I found "Splashup". I don't think you need to download anything, it's all working online. If you click "Jump Right In", there will be a another window that pops up and you can work from that window just like photoshop. However, if there's no other option, try and use Paint, experiment with what you can do with it. Tell me if you still need help finding programs.

  • @10coolcatz yes, I always use nothing but paint and it's surprising what you can do with such a simple programme. But with skins I have problems. My Sims often look as if they had serious skin problems! Don't know whether it is because I'm just not good at skins or because Photoshop is better for that...

  • would gimp or corel

    paintshop pro work

  • @ThatMrBerd Gimp should work. I'm not certain about corel or paintshop pro as I've never worked with them. However, if you find that they have some of the same tools that Photoshop provides, you can use those as well. xx

  • ugh i only have a stupid netbook so i can't have sims but i used 2 have a computer whith a disk drive but it died :((

  • 6:08 it looks like she's really looking u in the eye. its kinda creeping me out

  • lol 2:45 looks like the sim has a cold

  • :DD I love you! haha

    thank you so much. You helped me a lot!!

  • Thank you so much

  • hi, does this also work with sims three double deluxe i was thinking of eventually buying that, but i want to know if guys can also wear eyeliner, in the sims three or sims two without expansion packs just for a reffrence, trying to decide which is the better one to buy when i get the money.

  • @Spike1885 This tutorial does not work with The Sims 3/Deluxe. Male sims can wear eyeliner in Sims 2 and Sims 3 w/out Exp. Packs. To create your own custom content with The Sims 3, you need a program called TSR Workshop. As Sims 3 doesn't have a program like Bodyshop. So, using this tutorial for The Sims 3 custom content, would really be of no help, as Workshop and Bodyshop are two very different programs to work with. I would recommend The Sims 2 if you want to use this tutorial xx

  • I have always wondered how to do this!! Thank you so much haha :) x

  • @vindicatedmess Oh yeah, it will be very great a tutorial with Gimp ;D THANKS !! :)

  • Hey, please answer ! :-)

    I want you (or someone else) to make me a sim. I requested on TSR since less than 1 month but any answers. :'(

    I'll like so much, the sexy model Josh Kloss.

    I tried wih your tutorial, but didn't arrive (with PhotoFiltre).

    Thanks !

  • I tried with Gimp, but i don't arrive anymore. ;(

  • can you do it on gimp?

  • @MQJM2011 Yes, you can use gimp. xx

  • @vindicatedmess what size of a pic would u recommend

  • @TheMachoProductions I'd say larger than 800 pixels. Anything lower than that, it will get a little too pixel-y. xx

  • @vindicatedmess thanks! and good job on the tutorial. if u can, can u try this on GIMP?

  • @TheMachoProductions I'll definitely try when I have the time, seeing that college is starting back up again in a couple of days. I have been wanting to do a tutorial on that for a long time. xx

  • so life like

  • please make seleana gomez on TSR in TS2 i don't wanna get photo shop parents said "No" so please :( oh And please don't do it on subscriebr, it cost money

  • @sweetsugerlove You don't really need Photoshop, you can also use Gimp which is like photoshop except that it's free. I currently don't have time to create any more sims but there are amazing Selena Gomez sims on Modthesims. xx

  • Thanks a lot! Now i know make my sims alone :D

  • does photoshop elements work?

  • make a sim of me please :-)

  • I wish I could do that -.-

    i have gimp and i tried to do it. but it turned out like crap ._.

    i want to make ashley benson sooo bad!

  • Heey ! hope you answer i've been trying for centuries to make the lovely kat graham with sims 2 :'( but no succes can you try it ? pliease !! it will really mean alot to me i love her till death , gosh i sound patethic

  • how do i get the body shop? i have it but i cant get into it :\

  • wow, you're an artist. I wish I could do it like you, and I wish you would create the Ingalls Family - my try to create Charles Ingalls was horrible.

  • can you use gimp instead of photoshop? or can you give me the download link that you used to download photoshop

  • yo tengo Photoshop 8 !! pero no se donde puedo ajustar la opacidad de la capa u.u!! ayudaa!! :(

  • I don't have photoshop, BUUUT I do have other programs in which I use in a snap of a finger & could find those tools in there. Though when saving do I save as what type? PSD I can't do..

  • ur very talented

  • I have sims 3 on my iPhone sims 2 on my comp and sims 1 on my laptop. Personally, i say screw the sims 3 and sims 2 rules ALL

  • @kitty19181 totally agree. some of the things on sims 3 are kewl enough to be on sims 2, but sims 2 rules forever so in my own words: fuck sims 3! thumbs up if u agree!

  • @besthalle8, make sure you are using the correct version of BodyShop. If you have any expansion packs, choose the newest one and open that BodyShop, otherwise it won't work. Oh and it may take a while to start up!

  • thanks.

  • will this work for sims 3

  • @gentleye31 No, The Sims 3 does not have a program like Bodyshop anymore. The Sims Resource has a download that is similar called TS3 Workshop, but it's much more complicated to use, I think. I have not worked with TS3 Workshop, nor can I, because I work on a Mac platform, not a PC. I think you have to google around and find tutorial on how to use TS3 Workshop in order for you to make custom content like skintones, clothing etc for The Sims 3.

  • is it attached to the sims 2!?!

  • LOL I just noticed that the sims 2 custom skins are more realilstic than sims 3 custom skins like the sims 2 skins look just like the real person =3

  • Gracias!

  • How did you do the nails of that girl in The end?

  • can you make a whole bunch of celeb sims and put them in a huge mansion and then make some of them fall in love?

  • @MizzKela1204 I'm sure that's possible :) You can do anything you want on The Sims lol :)

  • WOW!!!!

    

  • my sims2 body shop wont work

  • @lilmzswaggagirl Yes, that will work :)

  • can you make Lisa Middelhauve?

  • why my sims 2 body shop only has a few stuff in each program?

  • @christyfrecita1 You have to download stuff and put them into Bodyshop. There's a downloads folder in The Sims 2 folder, that's where you put all of your downloads in, in order for these things to show up in Bodyshop and in the game.

  • @vindicatedmess dont have downloads folder. Need Help. :(

  • @vindicatedmess Where do you download everything? Off the internet? What website? Please help me..

  • @ForeverLoveNever Usually modthesims[.]info, everything is free. You can download all kinds of hair, skintones, lots, game mods, etc. All you have to do is register and it's free. You can also upload any creations that you make and share them with the community. My favorite sites are peggyzone[.]com or xmsims[.]com.

  • how do you import the sim?

  • @coolgirl103 Yes, you can use gimp :) xx

  • @XxAronLeexX Bought it online off of Ebay.

  • how do you get in body shop is it a cheat?

  • @EasterEggAcheivment No, it comes with every Sims 2, whether it's an EP or the original. If you're on a PC, go to Start, Programs, EA Games, The Sims 2. xx

  • @EasterEggAcheivment Seriously?

  • @urmomstoxicface I didn't know when I wrote that comment.

  • not mind asking but how did you learn all this?!! by yourself?!!!

  • @XOMystiaLoreleiOX I put up a link to where I learned most of this stuff from HystericalParoxysm's Tutorial on Modthesims in the description bar. xx

  • @vindicatedmess oh okay. =D oo.oo

  • oh nvm

  • how did u open up the face thing where i would put all the celebertie stuff?!?!?

  • my bodyshop doestent work either and i have an expansion pack the sims 2 double deluxe but maybe you're right i probly need the latest ep

  • Dosnt work, i do exactly what the vid says, but when i try to open the famous ive made, its just the old face i started with.. The new face isnt coming up! The vid isnt working anymore..

    

  • When you have to save it as a psd where do u save it?

  • When im trying to export/save the sim there stands "A problem returned, the picked texture couldnt export" But even though im trying to pick another skin color, the same message comes up. Its happening in 1:00 in your vid.

  • Can you do one of Ke$ha pleeaaasssee! :D

  • Where do u get The Sims bodyshop? I have photoshop but i don't have the sims body shop please help and reply! Thanks!!

  • In the body shop sims 2 does it come with the skin and hair and stuff like that or do yo have to download it all?

  • @sasusakuforever23 It comes with the default skins/hair by Maxis. If you want more skins/hair or better detailed ones, you need to download them from Sims 2 websites like modthesims (dot) info. Registration is free.

  • @vindicatedmess Thank you for tellin me ;D

  • Do you think you could make a sim that looks like me [I can provide a picture] I am not good at this kind of thing and am looking for someone who could do it? =] please haha.

  • Your video named "How To Sim Celebrities on The Sims 2 - A Tutorial " Can you please write exactly where i have to save the face? Please, i would appreciate it.

    thx 

  • @AlberteTDK You have to save/rewrite it over the file you opened but make sure the ending is .bmp NOT .psd

  • why u outtted those things?

    it was bc it was censored?xD

  • @SakuraandTsunade ppl were complaining that younger kids could be looking at this. The Sims 2 isn't just for adults, kids play it too :P

  • @KimandkatieShow

    Well maybe you have downloaded many things before

    you downloaded body shop. Mine did the exact thing.

    Hope you find a way to uninstall some programs.

  • lol! CHICHI's!

  • create one of hayley williams please i need to know how can make it please please please

  • Cool ^_^

  • It isn't that fast lol

  • @Yuripexxx People were complaining it was too fast. But I'm glad you didn't think it was, I personally didn't think it was also lol

  • Excellent!!!!!! Thank you so very much.

  • When i put them in my game they become realy unsharp so the eyes or clothes i made are blurry is there anything i csn do about it (this allso happens with downloaded stuff)

  • @krisvangendt Hmm. Are you starting with clear, sharp textures/images? If they are too pixel-y, it won't show up as sharp. Sometimes though, even if you make the textures of the clothes as sharp and clear as you want it on your graphics editing program, it won't come out as sharp, but just a smidge blurry. If that's the case, I don't think there is any real fix for that. But, if you're starting out with pixel-y textures, then it will come out blurry in the end. Hope this made sense xx

  • @vindicatedmess i get your poin. but i guess it's my computer then becouse a friend downloaded the same object as me and in her game id looked great but in mine the hole texture was blurry ;l

    thanks for helpaing anyway ;D

    x

  • @krisvangendt -- Make sure you have your game graphics set to high. My old computer did the same thing to me, though, and it was because it had an outdated graphics card that just couldn't handle the game well and everything was blurry even on high settings.

  • :thumbs up^^^^_^ thankss xx

  • Thank you very much!!!It's great video !!

  • what the hell is that sims 2?

  • it think i should just give up on this cant get it so when i copy then paste its the same size as enlarged it

  • @MizzPaparazziPrince CTRL + T will scale it down. Drag one of the tiny boxes at the edges of the picture to scale the image down. 

  • GOOD JOB AND THANK YOU! Gretchen Ross? I'm not Gretchen Ross, but my first name is gretchen...Not sure why i blurted that out...

  • my sims 2 bodyshop wont open up when i click it. i have tried restarting my computer, reinstalling my application, and still nothing! is there something that is required for it other than the actual sims 2 game? if so, i could have something not installed... please reply!!

  • @ArabellaDeluna The only problem I can think of is possibly expansion packs. Do you have any expansion packs or just the original game? If you do have expansion packs, Bodyshop will work with the latest EP that you have.

  • Great Tut :) I might been using this program and PS for over 3 years now, but I had no idea how to create real skintones xD Thanks again :)

  • i dont seem to have afface, should i use abface?

    Please help, im not as good as you

  • @LovleywubbyS Hmm. I'm not sure what "abface" is. If you are making a male Sim you can use "amface". If the "afface" is missing, try exporting the skin again and see if it's there. The "afface" file is usually in the first 4-5 images of the project. x

  • @LovleywubbyS Afface = Adult Female Face :)

  • gee slow down at the merge n... stuff cuz i dont get a thing can u tell me how to unmerge it?

  • @t0991 Either go through the History Tab and click it to undo merging or click Edit, then Undo. Remember you can always pause if it's going way too fast and I realize that, but I had to keep the video under 10 mins. x

  • do Lady GaGa next!

  • nice, but i think she looks more like a mix between jennifer gardner and the red head from "that 70's show"

  • wave think you can help make a sims famous! please leave me is that I can not do ahaha Would you help me?

  • @thekatyeditions I can only help with tips and tricks, but I am not able to create Sims at the moment. I am experimenting now with The Sims 3 and also, I have switched from Windows to Mac. So, I am unable to create any new skintones or sims. sorry x

  • @thekatyeditions I know for the sims 3: Make your sim flirty and then move them in. Type 'ctrl + shift + c' without +s and type motherlode then press enter do this as many times as you can and you will get money. Then go somewhere (in the new town with late night) and look for a celebrity (theyll have stars above them when you go over them) and then impress them with wealth a lot and then become friends, flirt and soon get married. Throw good parties and invite a lot of famous ppl and your in!

  • can you do this on a game system?

  • @JaeMilinaTV No, you can only do this on a computer.

  • you're too smart, and too fast. ^_^v haha be sloooooow

  • Hey I have a problem! I did everything that you did but when i imported it into my game my person I made was there BUT there was double the features like there was 2 pairs of eyes on her..Have you ever had this problem?? If you don't understand what i'm talking about maybe I could send you a video?

  • @luckysister2 Hi, do you mean on the skintone texture that you made or "double features" are imported into Bodyshop?

  • @vindicatedmess double features are imported into bodyshop. Like, after i finish everything using photoshop I save everything and create skins for the body to match the head. Then, when i open it up using body shop the original eyes are on top of the eyes I already made.

  • @luckysister2 By "orginal eyes" do you mean the default eyes that Sims have? I didn't really go into how to import eyes in this tutorial. Eyes and skins have to be imported seperately. But, eyes can be imported and done the same was as I did with the head/skin. Just export the default eye through Bodyshop, open the photoshop file and copy and paste. Then save and import it into Bodyshop. The eyes will not show up automatically on your sim, so you have to go to the Eye Tab & find your custom eye.

  • She looks so.... real. lol. but seriously. she does. but what I really want to know is how to get your face to look exactly like you, not to make your skin.

  • She looks so.... real. lol. but seriously. she does. but what I really want to know is how to get your face to look axactly like you, not to make your skin.

  • She looks so.... real. lol. but seriously. she does.

  • And where did you get your photoshop, mine sucks.

  • @ChanlerGotSwagg I am using a pretty old version, Version 6 or 7 I believe. You can always buy it cheap off of websites like Ebay or Amazon. However, great alternatives of photoshop is Gimp or Paint.NET. Both are free, some people worry that the downloads are unreliable, but I've downloaded it several times and my computer is 100% fine. x

  • OMG!!! Thank you, this totally worked. Now I have a sim that looks just like me!!! lol.

  • Yeah, what worries me is Photoshop, I'm waiting for some time.

    I will try to use other options.

    Thank you!

  • Oh, hey there!

    I love this video, and i've seen it many times, again and again xD But i still don't get it: I've tried to download things from Internet to Sims 2 for years, but it still does'nt work! Gah! xD Do I have to make an account? Is it possible to find an website who you don't need to make an account? Please, you are my hero if you answer! (x

    Simsfreakify

  • @Simsfreakify Yeah, making accounts can be really annoying and unnecessary but, the free access to all of the amazing creations for the Sims 2 is worthwhile. Modthesims is great. You don't have eto necessarily make anything to download anything. + it only takes a few minutes to make an account. But there are lottts of sites to download free Sims 2 stuff without making an account like Rose Sims 2, Sims 2 Graveyard. Just research on Google and it'll lead you to an answer :) x

  • hey, when i open my body shop, then i open create parts, start new project, create genetics....i click the skin icon...urs got lots of stuff there and mine only got 4 different color skin...is there some tricks? u downloaded it from anywhere?

    p/s: i dont have all the stuff like urs...(its my 1st time opening sims 2 body shop) mine only got several things (basic, simple)..so, any ideas?

  • @wanTSC92 Yes, I usually downloaded them from Modthesims.info or you usually get them when you download a Sim. It automatically should show up in the Skintone tabs when you download a Sim. The best site to get pretty good quality skintones is Modthesims.

  • @vindicatedmess oh, now i know...thanx for the info...btw, i tried to create my friend's face, and then I end up making someone else's face...which mean, u r pro..how can u do it? urs is like 95% same with the real person...the eyes, the face...its very likely the same...the chin, cheeks...i followed all your instructions, and i am quit happy with the result on photoshop...but when i create my sim, i totally create someone else already..i appreciate if u make another vid on that part..thanx
