Bon Voyage dissatisfaction
Kralore:
I've been building a hotel lot in a custom BV hood, and while playtesting it, I discovered that the "buy" option has been disable on clothing racks when they are placed on lodging/hotel lots. The "buy" option is there when they are placed on community lots, just not on lodging/hotel lots. I loaded up the 3 hoods that came with BV and looked at all the pre-built hotels that came with BV, and i've noticed that none of them have clothing racks on the hotel lots. I think for some reason EA has decided to disable the "buy" option only for lodging/hotel lots.

Because who would ever in their right mind want to put a shop in a hotel? I have not found a hotel restaurant yet, although I have not had sims stay at all resorts or hotels yet either. There are tables and chairs that look like dining rooms, but no fridges in the kitchens and no option to have or serve a meal, no waiters etc. Perhaps I need to try a few more hotels. Room service works fine.

I haven't had much time to play it yet, but I thought I'd throw in my list of complaints as well ;)
Ordering pictures is annoying so far. You have to do each print or album separately, and they're delivered separately as well. Maybe there's something I'm missing?
The beach lots are huge! I sure hope somebody can make us up some smaller sizes, like a 1x5, or 2x5, I suppose if they have to be 5 deep. I was hoping to build some cute little beach-front private bungalows, or something.
So far, it's looking like all the tourist "families" are blood related. I'm wondering if there are any "families" of singles? What fun is spring break for my college kids if the only tourists are married people and teenagers? I guess the locals are single though, right?

I think this might work for making Tourist families - they're not like Townies, they are complete families in the 7FEn range. Just make a CAS family then edit them in SimPE to give them a family number 7FE(something) - making sure to get rid of the sims already at that family number. There seem to be 4 sims in each tourist family, I am not sure if that is a requirment :)
Do you think this would work with groupings of college students as well?

Whoever it was that realised stopping the game from dialling home reduces loading times is a genius! ...Now by simply removing the internet cable from the wall before playing the loading time is actually less than it was before I installed BV!
I've noticed the load times take forever too. I managed to fold four loads of laundry last night while waiting for loading screens :) So is disconnecting the only way to prevent the dialing home? I often like to pop on and off of the internet while Simming, so I hope there's another way.

I've got mountain men doing tai chi and singing sea shanties. I've got islanders doing tai chi and slap dancing. I've got sims in kimonos singing sea shanties and doing the hula.
Looking into disabling some of this.

Not to mention the fact that none of the locals are using the right greeting any more! Mountain men are wanting to hang loose, sims in kimonos are chest pounding... argh!
According to the code, this isn't supposed to happen already. The locals ALREADY are locked out from autonomously initiating strange greetings, although your sims aren't. But they're stupid tourists.

Surely there must be some way to keep each greeting, dance, thing isolated to the appropriate vacation area?
Death to all Nesses.

As far as I can tell, the tourist family members aren't married. I kept zooming in on hands, and no rings. Haven't tried marrying one yet.
My tourists are also starting to merge behaviors. Lilly taught Ricky or whatever (husband at the time...he's been dumped, anyways) the chest pound. He then was running up to lots of locals and tourists doing it. And guess what I then saw? A local, practicing the chest pound on a tourist. Grr.
Yes, ordering pics is annoying. However. You can theoretically take pics of anything and replace the images with anything else...other in-game shots (I find the picture-taking window placement restrictive) or artwork. Just like with Pets and the custom paintings.
