I think I ran it for Windows 8, then I ran it in compatibility mode, and then I ran the program as administrator, hope I was helpful.

Hi @theresam45,

Welcome to Answers HQ!

I have a couple of questions

1. What version of Windows are you using in your computer?
2. Have you tried to right click on the exe file > Properties > Compatibility tab and set it to Compatibility mode with Windows XP?

Let us know if that helps,

What setting would you need for windows 10? or can it even work on windows 10?

Hi @ZeldaSpyroJak,

Which version of The Sims 2 are you running in your Windows 10 (DVD or The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection)?

Compatibility settings should be the same for Windows 10, although the location of The Body Shop might change depending on which version of The Sims 2 and which packs you have installed

Thank you for checking back with me, to tell you the truth I actually found out how to get Body Shop to work shortly after I posted my question, but thank you for coming back to help me on this subject I really appreciate it.

Oh, I'm glad to read that! :D

Thanks for letting us know! Could you share with the community what you did to make it work as well? It might help someone with your same issue in the future
