Bon Voyage satisfaction
Ness:
I keep discovering little things that leave me most impressed. It bugged me that the seasons careers LTWs were "reach top of XXX career". BV has changed them - you now see things like "become space pirate", so the seasons careers have been brought into line with the others. I'm liking it! :)

I love the new public toilet recolours, all the vacation lots, hotels and secret destinations. I thoroughly enjoyed tracking down the dances and greetings (my Traveller family has them all!) and I'm now working on spreading them throughout all the vacation areas, university and the home neighbourhoods ;D So far it's been a case of waiting for my Traveller family to initiate it so all anyone has really learned is the Hula so far hehe. I'm going to rebalance the scales later today when I play that family, I may take them downtown and infect the townies with the new cultures.
I love that sims can now autonomously Smustle! It's something I've always wanted actually and now my dormies all have a good reason to be stinky all the time, they love to Hula too which is fine by me.
The new Teleport skill is very useful (and cool looking too), I want a lot of my sims to learn it so that means a lot of trips to Takemizu (sp?).
I love the building blocks for the ruins, some really cool lots (and stories) could be made out of those, though I'm not good at either.
New Turn-ons/Turn-offs are not something to be sniffed at, and these are actually decent enough to break up the monotony.
Digging for treasure/Combing for seashells is fun, and can be done on dorm lots too.
Overall I'm having a very good time playing BV, even when my sims are not on holiday. I hated the original version, (found it boring) but Bon Voyage is lots of fun.

Hmm. That may not be a good thing, since it may break the LS LTWs, which relied on the non-specificity of the stringset for function.

I have to admit that I love this EP - except for some annoyances JMP has already taken care of (tai chi obsession and the like). I'm especially fond of Twikki island, I think it's beautifully done (I like the ruins, I stayed on one of those lots forever - it was already dark and it rained, the atmosphere was perfect). I also like the new actions (if they don't become obsessive, of course), not to mention the PIRATE SHIP ;D

As for the piano...of course it's great to have a grand. But I do like the original. The original is what I grew up playing, and has nothing to do with a saloon! The majority of people own uprights, not grands. They're cheaper and take up less room.
I don't dislike it because it's an upright. I also grew up playing an upright and of course that's what most people have and is the most realistic to have in the game. I'd actually prefer to use an upright because I do like my sims houses to look realistic. What I don't like about it is the weird carving/decoration on the front of the piano and the strange unvarnished wood it seems to be made from, that's what reminds me of a saloon from a Western and makes it look out of place. All the pianos I've ever seen in people's houses are flat and plain at the front and made from shiny varnished wood and I think that looks much more elegant.
