In anticipation of the release of The Sims 2 this month, Aspyr today has made Body Shop, a stand-alone, character-creation tool, available as a free download. The Sims 2 Body Shop allows players to design unique Sims that can be used within the game and shared with other players. The Body Shop allows players to select a Sim’s skin tone, eye color, hairstyle, facial hair, makeup, clothes and more. The Sims 2 is not required to run Body Shop.
