Bon Voyage dissatisfaction

Wow. I removed it, just BV. Figured I'd wait for the patch and wait for more updated/tested hacks.
Not only did it delete my neighborhoods, it deleted everything. My entire EA Games folder! Thankfully I had it all backed up, but it seemed a little extreme.

Do you think this would work with groupings of college students as well?
Yes I can't see why not.

This is normal. I believe it actually warns of this. The reason this happens is because if you uninstall an expansion, the previous expansion wil not be able to read the new datafiles and will barf. Thus, the uninstaller removes them to allow the game to regenerate them. You would have had to reload backups anyway, from pre-BV.

It said something like "Saved games from this expansion won't work anymore." It didn't warn me that it would delete all my custom content, projects folder, .sc4 terrain, etc.

This is why you backup everything in the My Documents/EA Games folder before adding an expansion. Everything. You've just learned the hard way. Been there, done that. T-shirt sucks.
