Bon Voyage dissatisfaction
Zazazu:
He just takes his sweet-ass time. I've gone there twice. Offer help, go repair stuff and clean while he sleeps in the nude on his hammock. By the time I'm done with that, he's back to the house. I fix meal. Sit sims down, eat until full. Stand around for a good three hours before he suddenly realizes that everything's good and gives the doll.
Had a bad hotel charging issue I forgot to mention earlier. My sim was in one hotel and checked out at around 10 am. Then went to a new cheaper hotel in the beach vacation area. She checked in to one room (approx $400) at around 10:30. I immediately (before 11) got two messages that as she had stayed past check-in, her room bill would be charged ~$400. Then, at 11am, same message again. (Note: I was on the hotel lot the whole time). Meanwhile, her hubby cheated on her, they pummeled each other, she dumped him, and he left. She cancelled out the one room and reserved a smaller room (approx $300). I double-checked the old room before leaving the lot to go walking and it was available for rent. Went to another lot, came back. Both rooms were now showing as reserved by her, and I had no option to cancel the reservation on either room. So, basically, one day of stay at this $$-level hotel ended up costing her over $2000. And yes, it really was on the bill. Not false messages.

This is normal. In order to be seated as a group, you need to form up into an outing group. It is really less hassle to simply cook up a few platters of MREs via "Make Many", and use Macro-Eat to dispense them, anywhere, anytime, as needed.
Yea, I'm definitely going to do that from now on -- no sims got on vacation without food in their inventories! I had another hassle with the same sims in the restaurant -- last day, they go to breakfast. I didn't make them a group, so they're seated separately (she was showering when he went to the restaurant). She gets seated at a table where an empty plate is. Server never clears the plate, and when the server comes with the order, she keeps doing the 'I can't do anything' dance because she won't put the new plate on top of the existing one, and can't remove the existing one because her hands are full. Did it until she ended up dropping the plate on my sim. Server goes away to get a new plate, so I canceled the dine interaction and sent the sim out of the dining room.
Unfortunately, every time I sent her back to the podium to be seated, she just walked past it and sat in the exact same chair. Since they were going home that day, and her hunger wasn't in the danger point, I just had them leave when the husband finished eatiing.

When I got to Bigfoot's lot, a popup told me that Bigfoot would have a challenge for me. Well, I talked with Bigfoot and fished with him, helped him rake leaves, lit his fire and sat around it and roasted marshmallows on it, turned on his boom box and danced with him, and stood around and waited for him to initiate something.
Whenever my sim stands around, all she wants to do is tai chi. I guess there are worse things she could be doing, but she's obsessed, poor thing. And it makes her unavailable for other interactions.
The only unusual option I got around Bigfoot was the option to invite him to move in. Is this the thing that Bigfoot wanted help with, or is there something else? I feel like I've done everything it's possible to do on that lot.
I agree with everyone who's pleading for a no-autonomous-tai-chi hack. They like it better than sex. Or food. Or anything, really.

Bigfoot wants your sim to slap dance with him. Once done, you have the ability to move him in with your family.

I've got the opposite problem with Tai Chi- I played the game (with all updated BV awesome hacks) and on no lot did anyone do Tai Chi. Removed the hacks. No difference. If you turn on a stereo, they smustle. GAH! Now, I'm a patient person, but this is testing my limits. I started to notice this after about 3 hours of play in the Far East. I thought, hmmm, maybe it's just a fluke. I have now played the hood, with and without hacks, for over 18 hours and have not once spotted anyone doing Tai Chi. I also went to another neighborhood and created the destinations. Tried it with a clean vacation hood...no Tai Chi. I am ashamed to admit it, but I actually searched the BBS to find out what is going on with the dance. Others seem to have the same problem, while some have nothing but Tai Chi. Someone suggested going to the secret lot..that's where they learned the movement (from the old man). Went there numerous times. No Tai Chi. Oh well.
Here's a few bugs/glitches I've encountered (tried with awesome hacks and without):
Triple speed to most lots. The old NL bug is back (I think it was NL). I have to catch the speed bar right away or the sims are doing something silly.
Teens have very few vacation wants. Cuts across aspirations. They want to go to college, ask>date, sneak out (WTF?) and learn a new massage..huh? They can't learn massage.
The constant weather queue stompage is back.
Tour guides have gone missing at all hotels (hacks, and no hacks)
Massage therapist gone missing at a hotel.
Sims are back to talking and eating. Damn near starving to death..since the food on vacation is not filling. (No eat crap installed, and uninstalled) I mean really, 5 hours to eat a hot dog?
Sims who have gone on all the tours do not get the token fulfilled.
The first map dug has never been for the hood the sim is in. Typically it's the last map they find.
Fortune sims have wants to paint a masterpiece and sell novel. No easel or computer available in hood. In seven days, my fortune sim only wanted 1 massage and 3 tours. That's it. Very few vacation wants.
And, everyone wants to be the DJ. There is no DJ booth in the hoods.
Nobuskers does not work in vacationland. Sims and hotel guests perform constantly.
Expensive hotel in Twikki has shrubs that ,left untended, spawn weeds.
Quite a few times I have ordered a group meal, I have to..the food won't satisfy, and the bellman only brings a single.
I had a permaplat adult male lose status at the hidden burrow. It never came back.
These are only the ones that I haven't seen listed above.
