It's a "whichever one loads last will be the only one that takes effect" issue - so if you have both you should find that one of them isn't doing anything, but I don't understand why it's causing this particular odd problem.

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Thanks for responding, Nysha. I will keep playing without making any further changes. If anything noteworthy happens then I will post a feedback report.

I can't seem to get the file to unpack properly. I'm using a mac, but never had that issue. I'm trying to download the legacy version.

Are you using the latest version of Keka? The 7z format changed a couple of years ago and older archiving software may not be able to read the new format.

stupid question, if you have all the expansions & extra packs (not the UC; discs bought over the years) which file do I download? This mod is so awesome & I'd love to have it ingame....normally I can figure this out but it's been so long since I've played.

If you have all the EPs then your latest EP would be M&G, so you download that version (which is the same as if you had UC).

This is great! How has nobody done something like this before?

Hello! I noticed a conflict between your mod and apthack by Pescado. Not only HDCU shows the conflict but apartment neighbors behave strange. Every time they try to do anytning sim reset occurs but other functions of this hack (e.g rent furnished apartment) still work. I never had such issue before your mod. I also have this one but HDCU shows no conflict between them.
But I don't wanna get rid neither of your mod nor Pescado's so can you make them both work together, please? I can send error logs if needed.

Thank you! There is not enough diversity in the base game, that's for sure!
Out of curiosity, where did you get that purple top worn by the woman in the middle/back? It's so pretty!

With DownTownieTemplates_BeGone loading last, both work. I tested it today since I just added the Townie Body Diversity (love it!) and needed to make a couple more batches of downtownies with different face templates.

@Nysha First, thank you for this. Second, I've also come upon the conflict between notownieregen and Diversity_BVLocals, as well as nodormieregen and Diversity_Dormies. I'm sure there's a proper load order for this as Sandilou indicated has already been stated, but I certainly can't find it mentioned. So, the question for me is, which do I put first in the load order?

Thank you- this is amazing! Question (sorry, I'm not a modder or anything other than basically computer literate), is there some way I could open this in SimPE and change the variables to make it more likely that townies roll up as fat? Thank you for your time!

I know this was asked over a year ago - but I have only just noticed it. This is an FYI for anyone else who is wondering about load ordering with this brilliant mod -

\downloads\NyshaTownieBodyDiversityBVLocals.package
\downloads\znotownieregen.package

and

\downloads\NyshaTownieBodyDiversityDormiesNLMG.package
\downloads\znodormieregen.package

as well as

\downloads\NyshaTownieBodyDiversityALMG.package
\downloads\zDownTownieTemplatesBeGone.package

is the set up I have that generates a new sim only when needed, as per Pescado's anti-redundancy mod and that sim frequently has a diverse body shape.

I also use Squinge's teen nanny, Ancient Sims NPC ageing and Pescado's antiredundancy; they work with this mod too; Pescado's mod ensures that there are no more than 3 nannies for hire,

One of the teen nannies in my game aged up from teen to adult at 6 pm in the household that she was working in, so she then became a household family member (that is how the npc ageing mod works) and was thus no longer one of the 3 nannies in the nanny pool. This meant that the pool needed a new teen nanny - one was generated by the game with a plump (fat) body shape.

Load order in my game: (I don't use sub-folders because I like my game, lots and community lots to load quickly - everything is in one giant Downloads folder)

antiredundancy

NyshaTownieBodyDiversityALMG
NyshaTownieBodyDiversityBVLocals

I just got the Sims 2 ultimate collection and I love it. I am just coming from playing ts3 and ts4 where bodies are more diverse. But playing ts2 for the first time I was annoyed at all the thin stick people I needed something like this so I thank you very much.

I looked at the Legacy Versions file but am struggling to understand which of the choices to choose, because I'm not sure how to interpret the ranges (such as NL-MG vs Uni, or BV-FT and FT-MG both in the same folder). My game has the eps and stuff packs up through FT, but *not* MG or AL.

The conflict between apthack and Townie Body Diversity was causing my game to crash until I changed the 'load order'. The Sims 2 reads mods in alphabetical order, simply changing "apthack" to "aapthack" immediately solves any issues.

Hope this helps others.
