Bon Voyage satisfaction

I've never mucked around with the terrain surgery tool. Do you have to remove all existing lots before doing it (send the families to the sim bin, then move the empty houses to the lot bin), or will it just relocate the lots to the nearest road? There are some features to the neighborhood terrain I have that I like, but in addition to their being no ocean front property, it's just too big.
Obviously, this would have to wait until SimPE comes out anyway, but still. My interest is piqued now. :)
you'll want to read JM's tutorial --> http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,151.0.html
that thread answers a lot of questions.
in short - you can leave the houses & sims in place, do the terrain surgery, move the houses so they are back on roads, then if the terrain is a bit warped in the spots where the houses were, re-do the terrain surgery to fix it.
I prefer smaller terrains. The one I'm using has plenty of room and I spread most of the houses out. If I need more room I can either move the houses closer together so more will fit or just add on a custom subhood.

From what I have seen in BV so far, I love it... even though I haven't seen much at all *laughs* but I was pleased to discover that unlike weather, you can see the waves/spray through windows! I'm going to end up redesigning some of my sims houses so they can have large windows facing the beach :D
I've already placed some of those food stands on some of my community lots. I've made a public beach (for those poor saps that can't live right on the beach) community lot and a campground community lot that once I can take a sim there to see if it plays well, I'll re-zone it to a hotel...provided it does play well, otherwise I will re-do it.

I actually like Bon Voyage though I'm not a vacation fan myself - I never go on vacation.
But there are some really nice things in BV, stuff that made me laugh and THAT I like.
Also, the asian (kind of chinese/japanese) theme is a very nice thing to play with. Though the constant Tai Chi stuff is annoying.
I could have lived without the tropical theme - as said not a vacation/beach fan - the mountain one is nice, too.
Over all BV has less impact on every day life of the Sims than the other eps, the benefits being temporal and such - not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing...
I need the Community Time project updated for BV so vacations actually take time - only question is, how being away from work for seven days would be handled.
trudy:
thats not the only one.. since there is no aging, having vacations count will desync the age, unless u age at arrival like was the case with the mod, but what will u do if u left 7 days and theres a birthday or a pregnancy...?
witch:
Trudy - that's 'you' not 'u' for a start. Start typing in complete sentences if you want to stay here and not get poked with pointy sticks. I mean capital letters and full stops, in case you don't understand.
Better do it fast, I see a bunch of people heading this way with their pointy sticks now. There's also the Grammar Police to watch out for, they're way tougher than me.
trudy:
Donīt worry, I donīt mind pointy sticks. But Iīm sorry if its hard to understand what I write. My english isnīt the best and i tend to mix up letters anyway. Also english has so short sentences. Itīs hart to get used to ;-)
