[[Body Shop]] creates a ''Body Shop Clothing package''. Most, if not all, custom-made clothes that are available everywhere in sites were made with Body Shop. These files (sometimes) appear as ''Skins'' or ''Recolour/Recolor''. Some of them require a custom-made [[Modding Glossary|Mesh]].

This file is a [[DBPF|package]], and it's usually compressed by [[zip]] or [[rar]]. The package file (extracted from the .zip or .rar file) must be placed in the [[Downloads]] subfolder of the main The Sims 2 folder.

The structure of the package usually includes 8 files. Usually those files are:

* [[0C560F39]]
* [[AC506764]]
* [[53545223]] - A string resource. The description (in human-readable natural language) of the recolour is stored here.
* [[EBCF3E27]] - The Property Set. Age, Category (Formal? Swimwear?), Gender, Outfit (Top? Bottom? Full?), etc are stored here
* [[E86B1EEF]]
* [[49596978]]
* [[1C4A276C]]
* [[1C4A276C]]

		+	There are some software that can read the information from these packages and return them in a human-readable form:
		+	* [[SimPE]] is the most complete tool to read and change a package. Just run SimPE and Open the package file. Some care must be taken to change a file, but these operations are safe:
		+	: in the Property Set:
		+	:: change the category (for example, from underwear to formal)
		+	:: change the age between Adult (0x8) / Young Adult (0x40) / (Adult + Young Adult) (0x48)
		+	: in the Text Lists
		+	:: change the description (there is just one string, with ID 0x0)
