Does this squish the toga party and ask to pledge wants of Sims who have joined a Greek House but don't actually live in one?  If not, mind adding that?

No, it doesn't, and I'll second the motion to add it if possible.  I hate having a student's want slots taken up with those stupid wants.

Back to BV wants....

My frustration with stupid wants on vacation is mainly that I've got a sim rolling massage wants when he already knows it all!  Otherwise I suspect the game just doesn't know what wants to roll for a sim on his nth holiday who has done pretty much everything.  Hence the default wants people are noticing.  The set of holiday wants isn't that big when you think about it.  I can only see three ways to go on this one:
1. let them roll their normal wants - i.e. this holiday's gone on long enough & its' time to go home to RL.
2. make friends or flirt with with all the BV townies they've met regardless of aspiration
3. roll the small holiday wants ad nauseum: take pic (again), go on tour (again), build sandcastle, dig for treasure, dine out, buy souvenir/jewellry, hula dance etc. 

I have a sim staying in the mountain resort campground with no phone who wants to throw a party, max charisma skill, learn a massage (he's already learned them all) and hula dance or go on a tour.   The massage certainly shouldn't roll if he's learned them all, but I'm playing Easton West from the TSR challenge so I can't be sure his memories of learning them aren't cheated.

I thought I squished that already, but it turns out that particular check tree is just chock full of bugs, like Pregnant sims ALWAYS having that want available despite it being IMPOSSIBLE, and the fact that they do not reset the counter when searching for the learn tokens. Fixed now.

Is he even ABLE to throw a party while on vacation? Being on a phoneless campground is not an ironclad obstacle, as you can use your own phone.

Well he can't as he doesn't have a mobile phone and there is of course nowhere to buy one in the vacation lots. He finally got pickpocketed (had to take antiredundancy out to get charlatan appearing) and went home.  Challenge finished.

That's the thousand dollar question. Maybe somebody else knows the answer.  I'd suspect not, but I'd have to send a sim with a phone on a special fact finding mission to find out and the load times are awful.   I'd imagine "no parties on community lots of any kind, but DK about an owned vacation home.  Haven't tried one of them.  Imagine running a normal party scenario from a vacation in the far east  - are all the friends back home going to hop on a plane and fly over, or do they just not show up?
