Start your game. If the mod was installed properly, your Sims will no longer be censored when nude.
- Sims will have "Barbie anatomy" (i.e., no visible nipples or genitals) unless you install mods to change the skins.

I'm legally blind and can't see the code to register. What do I do?

Community Answer

You can get someone to do it for you. Either invite a friend over or take a photo/screenshot of the code and send it to a close friend.

Question

I can't get any details (like nipples) for the Sims once I've removed the blur. Is there something I can do?

Community Answer

By default, Sims have "Barbie anatomy" and won't have visible nipples or genitals. If you want to change this, you'll need to download and install skintones that have these.
