Using your alpha file, make any alterations to sleeve length, hemline, neckline, or any other areas of your choosing--by adding or erasing white areas. Anytime you'd like to see how your creation is looking, save your work in the paint program but don't exit out of it in case you want to undo any of your changes.

Then go back into "Body Shop," and press the "Refresh Preview Sim" button, which is in the shape of a curved arrow. The Sim shown on the left will now be wearing your created item, and you can turn the model to see how your creation looks from all angles.

This version of CaSIE features a more limited selection of assets than that of the game itself, including several hairstyles that were changed before release. These unused hairs are available in the final release, but are hidden in Create-A-Sim.

One of the hairs, known as "Meg hair", uses a texture from the final release instead of its original texture. The other hairstyles all use their original assets. Three "content packs" were released for this version of Body Shop. All of these outfits are in the final release of the game, but are hidden in Create-A-Sim.

Installing this version of Body Shop on a system with the game itself installed can cause multiple issues, and is not recommended. The Sims Wiki Explore. Recent posts Game news Community news.
