Bon Voyage dissatisfaction

I had choppy play with vanilla BV, then I firewalled it and the pause-lag I had been experiencing in the neighborhood view stopped. Now my lag is caused by BV not playing as nicely with the amount of custom content that Seasons seemed to have no problem with. Does it have a common connection? Certain lots and not others, size, beach, location that kind of thing. With or without custom.
When I use to have too much custom content, the larger lots would play choppy, but the smaller ones would run fine. I can see a bit of choppiness in the most smallest of lots now and my bigger lots that worked fine are nearly impossible for me to have patience with. I don't have alot of Custom Content anymore. I guess why I'm confused is because BV ran fine for 2 or 3 days and I played for hours and hours. THen suddenly the hotels wouldn't work without all the choppiness so i kept moving my family to a smaller ones. When I had Dell build this thing I specifically gave them the system requirements for BV because I knew it was coming out. Video cards, everything, I made sure they built me what I needed. This just sucks.
morriganrant:
Eh, well, system requirements lie. Some people have reported that their loading times and such are actually shorter with BV, some report longer, mine were so long to begin with I can't tell the differance.
It may be that your computer really can not handle it, even if the box says it should. Did you get above the requirements or the minimum?
Have you installed anti redundancy? If you have not, then do so, and then learn how to remove extra characters from the game files. There's plenty of info in the war room.
Have you used the compressorizer program? If not, I recommend that too. It can compress your downloads folder to a much smaller size in some cases. http://www.djssims.com/index.php?category=21

I have all of the updated DC (as of two days ago) and I also have the issue of other patrons stealing my food from under my nose in a hotel restaurant. The server came and put the plate down, and before my sim's water glass could disappear, some other vacationer came over and took the plate. Bastard. *Edit - I still have to pay for each plate too, no matter how many times this happens. I'm hoping this is a bug and not a feature. The price of my total dinner after feeding three of these sorry, fraggle rockin mooches was ridiculous.*
I have only managed to be able to capture the ninja by making my sim's wife meditate. If you go to the Zen Garden and meditate the ninja appears the first time you do it every single time. I couldn't catch him, so I went back to the vacation home, then walked back to the lot, rinse, repeat. Finally I had her meditate, made my other sim active immediately, and as soon as he appeared I clicked learn to teleport for my guy and it worked fine. I have yet to figure out how the hell to catch him if my sim is alone. Bastard.
What does the pickpocket look like? I've played all the lots for two rl days and have yet to see him.
Finally, my sim has all the vaca memories and nothing special has happened to him either. Not that I'm aware of anyway. And no, I don't have the prima guide either. Could barely afford the expansion as is. I would appreciate the suggestion of someone linking to the information that was made earlier.
Off to pirate some boo-tay.

Well, given that 2 out of 3 vacation destinations are, apparently, inaccessible by car, it stands to reason that making vacation destinations driveable by car was not high on the list of things to do.

He looks like Snidely Whiplash. Take anti-redundancy out, wait until you see him, put it back in again.
There doesn't appear to be any reward for getting all the vacation memories. I guess it's just something to do.
