Bon Voyage dissatisfaction

I've downloaded some of hacks in the Director's Cut, though I can't say if "antiwatchout" is among their numbers, and I have had no issues walking between lots.
I know I have that one. I rarely play with cars on lots, but the drama involved with parking and getting out annoys me to no end. That'll be my first one to remove, and since no lot is currently playing with a car, no skin off my back.

I did have a glitch with booking a honeymoon. Brandi and Jeremy were engaged before I installed Bon Voyage and had the wants to be married locked. Brandi called to arrange a honeymoon, and there was a pop-up saying they would need someone to watch the house, which is strange because they have one cat and no kids. I agreed to the nanny and the next pop-up said that the wedding would trigger the vacation pick-up.
You have to have a nanny if there are any children/babies/toddlers/pets being left behind. Yup, Rover can't fend for himself for a couple days. Wish you could just plop an automatic feeder down like I do when I have to leave for the weekend. (Plopping down a full food bowl with enough food for the weekend is bad idea when you have an itty bitty piggy. Mikko, the 8lb crazy, will sit there and eat the entire bowl in an hour. Then he and Soren starve for the rest of the time. Mikko can trip the automatic feeder and get more food, but he doesn't do it enough to run out.) Of course it didn't work. It's Eaxis.

1. The hotel lots, while mostly quite nice, are also huuuuuge and tedious to navigate. Brandi and Jem stayed at the cabins and it was almost comical how random the routing was. Elsewhere, the surrounding mountains cause the camera to shoot up when you move it around the lot.
Uneven terrain is a major annoyance in picture-taking, and few of the island lots were flat. My camera hack didn't seem to want to work, either. Again. Will beat into submission. My first order of business after testing the three 'hoods is making my own lots, and a realistic hotel one will be first on the docket.

3. They dug about 30 holes and found two worthwhile things- both maps to the secret locations for the other two vacation destinations.
Mine dug all of five holes. One proved that you should always Call Before You Digtm. Two yielded rocks. One the map for the pervy witch doctor. The last gave a rooster statue.

4. Skill points gained from positive chance cards don't get applied. This can be fixed by an updated skilling on community lots hack, but it's still a bunch of bullshit.
I may not have been credited for a $350 chance card either. I didn't notice an addition, but then I wasn't paying complete attention.

5. The locals are generated like crazy. I saw four or five that were on about every lot along with a few new faces, but then I had this happen:
Four new sims, same outfit type, same last name. This worries me.
Far as I can figure, those are families who would also take hotel rooms. I had one similar in the bungalows. Several more families showed up on community lots.

6. The Unsavory Charlatan isn't playable. I knew this before, but now that I've seen him in his top hat and monocle, twirling his evil little mustache and cackling to himself, I want to marry him into a legacy at some point.
There's always sim surgery.

Really? Huh. Mine are popping up titles. There's one for each skill...like "charismatic" "creative" "good cook". There's one for "unemployed" and some career-advanced one for level 6+. One for jewelry. One for plantsims, zombies, servos, werewolves. Those are all I can remember at the moment.
I wants me an unemployed, tattooed, zombie man. yeaaaaaaaaaah baby. XD

I'm loving how sims can overheat and explode from jumping on a bed, yet their body temperature won't rise a bit when they are in the sauna ::)
Then again, it's probably an American (or Swedish) sauna, which rarely heats above 37 C anyways :P
Aggie:
Regarding the missing skill points/money due to vacation chance cards: I notice that they don't get applied until after the tour is over. Are you all paying attention to the requisite areas when the 'returning from tour' option appears on the screen? I've never had this problem.
KatEnigma:
Interesting...
Even if you're staying in a vacation home, you can visit and check in to hotels, you just can't save/exit from them. So you can leave the pregnant Sim at the vacation house, and take everyone else to a hotel for the remainder of the trip, without having to deal with keeping her out of the red. I just left my pregnant Sim asleep on the couch, while the dad and daughter checked into the new hotel I just built to test it out. :D
