Since Legacy doesn't come with Body Shop and the new Legacy Version from here doesn't work after trying all the troubleshooting tips, I can't use Premade Sims because the Saved Sim file hasn't been created because I don't have a working Body Shop. There is a way to make Sims 2 Body Shop run on legacy but it is confusing and manually changes the registry and requires a symlink and I am not able to make that work. Any ideas. Thanks for any help

You mean this one, right?

Have you had a look through the comments? There's often some useful info there.
Or maybe try asking in the comments? There's a better chance the creator of the installer can help you with the issues.

Thanks. I'll do that
