That's a thread on your problem and there's a link to your solution 3/4 of the way down the page.

The D3DERR_INVALIDCALL is due to having an integrated Intel graphics card. It has a conflict with TS2/Uni but is fixed with NL/OfB. I've heard people getting the downloadable Body Shop that was released before the game works okay for them (I think it's still available on download.com) but when I tried it (as I had this problem myself before NL/OfB) installing the downloadable Body Shop made my game itself stop working, and I had to uninstall Body Shop and the game and reinstall the game for it to work again. Your mileage may vary, but the easiest solution I've found is to just get one of the newer EPs, especially if you were planning on it already. The downloadable Body Shop doesn't have much in it, and doesn't seem to want to take new meshes at all, so it really limits your creation... It also screws up skintones on babies. So... yeah. There ya go.
