Bon Voyage dissatisfaction
Orikes:
I had the honeymoon problem too. Sims were engaged in Uni, before BV was installed. Playable sim moved home with her parents. Invited fiance over and had him move into the house. She then booked the vacation. Immediately afterwards, she invited the wedding guests and had the wedding party. The wedding went fine and was even a roof raiser. When it was over, though, the bride and groom stood there for a moment while all the guests left. Suddenly, I had another party timer up in the corner of the screen. It had started the timing for the party over again. They had the wedding memories, though. I don't know about wants being fulfilled or not, since neither had the want locked.
I ended up canceling the honeymoon and booking a normal vacation. That worked fine.
Oh, and I also had the problem where the speed of the game jumps to x3 when entering a community lot.

(In your opinion) is this as useless an EP as Sims 1's VAC EP (which I loathed)?
In answer to this question... Ultimately I think it's going to depend on a person's playstyle. People who never use community lots are probably going to find this one to be a waste of money. While Nightlife added a whole bunch to the game in addition to the downtown area, BonVoyage's extras are more peripheral. The big fun is actually going on a vacation and exploring the various community lots. If that's not your thing, than it probably is a waste of time.
I do think I like Bon Voyage better than I liked Vacation. I poked at Vacation a bit when I had sims1 installed and I really wasn't impressed with it. Bon Voyage seems more robust and better thought out. I like the different flavors of vacation destinations. Some of the new interactions are nice, as well as some of the social objects. I thought the MahJong table was cute.
I think, in a way, Bon Voyage will be a bit like OFB. To get the most out of it, you actually have to use its features. There's a lot too it, but if someone doesn't like disrupting their sims routine, they'll never really get much out of it. For me, OFB was useless until I finally decided to try fulfilling that annoying 5 Businesses want. Now I know how much is really in it. Bon Voyage will probably be the same for most people.
Ellatrue:
Can the sims gain skills from any of the new objects? Are there any new ways of earning money?
witch:
Oh no, my simmies are on their second day at the beach and I assumed they could move on to one of the other areas in a day or two. Stuck at the beach for seven days - sucky.
KatEnigma:
Well, you don't have to stay the whole 7 days. You can leave early if you want.
Velda:
Can you set the climates at the destinations the same way you do the neighborhoods/subhoods? I had heard the Prima guide said you couldn't, but that thing is wrong a lot.
