Bon Voyage time issue. <SOLVED>
Inge:
Ah yes, if you actually have them in bed before going out, I can see that working. I was thinking if the teen went out in the morning and got back at midnight, then the kids would be up all night.
Hecubus:
By the by, the noon checkout/payment thing is from TS1: Vacation. Many's the time I lost track and got charged for another day. (Come to think of it, that's happened to me IRL as well.)

Huh. I bet that'll be in the patch, then, since aside from the fact that it causes overcharging and loss of vacation days, time in vacation subhoods is supposed to be continuous, like it is in Uni subhoods.
Yes, but Uni subhood time is broken also. It has never worked correctly either, as evidenced by what happens when only part of a lot goes out, resulting in semester times getting completely desynchronized.
Yes, but on uni lots, you at least have the option to cancel the 'go to class' action (since the student will just have to go to class again once s/he goes home). That's what I do, and thus I never have semester-desynchronisation, unless I choose to exploit it in order to make a certain sim 'older'.

And in Uni lots this can actually be beneficial - student can go to class once from the comm lot and once from home/dorm in one day, filling out the performance bar, eliminating need to go to class in other days, thus allowing for more interesting activity.
With BV, the time/double charge issue would have a negative/cost impact. It also seems now that the time synch issue is specific to some installations. For others time away from the hotel is in synch with the hotel time (i.e. if sims leave hotel at 9am and go to comm lot, and leave the comm lot at 8pm, it will be 8pm when they return to the hotel and they are charged for only one day). Things do not seem to be working consistently. Might be a difference between CD/DVD and torrent versions?
Naturally, I can't really say, since Amazon has not sent me a copy of BV yet.
KatEnigma:
Have we verified that the synch problem isn't a weird hack conflict? I'm running vanilla (well, okay, I had to add the teleporter bush because I was dumb and had to rescue my family) and everything was fine.
