The Sims 2 Body Shop

Rambley_Raccoon Clean Installer is indeed a useful tool, but it is a third-party tool so it's unlikely it will ever be offered officially. I expect it to remain available on MTS, though.

I hope the Sims team gives us Clean Installer as well. I got tired of spending hours trying everything to get my custom content to show up in Sims 2 and having the CC never show up. 

I agree

ArilyBoo Most old tools are, and MTS has been amazing in terms of preserving old tools, patches, etc. But having them all included so players don't have to hunt for them would be great in my opinion.

HomeCrafter is still available on modthesims

Dragonstar4ever EA has not announced anything so far, but I've seen lots of feedback on this and hope they will take it into consideration. BodyShop is a powerful Sims 2 tool for sure, and I've always appreciated that The Sims 2 had official tools for making CC. HomeCrafter is also up there especially since it is so easy to use!
