Anti-Redundancy *CRITICAL FOR BVp0*
Merope:
I got BV this week and installed this hack before playing it. Now, it is entirely possible I'm an idiot, but I haven't seen a single tour guide. Where are they supposed to be? Is it possible that this hack prevented *any* from spawning? Should I take it out, play the game, and then stick it back in?
Flaming me is more than welcome.

The tour guide hangs around by the payphone of community lots and at the front of hotels (where the taxi stops). He is not always there. Generally if you wait around for a bit, one shows up. The hack is designed to allow one to spawn, if one does not already exist, but not to spawn them incessantly. If your sims leave their lodgings (hotel etc.) and go to a vacation comm lot, does one show up then?
ZiggyDoodle:
Ideally you will have three tour guides (one for each vacation destination). He/she will hang out in front of the phone on community lots.
If you have the Clean Installer, use it to check your character files. You can easily spot the guides, ninjas, and charlatan files.

Yes, they'll show up on community lots also.
I'm still getting a lot of Unsavory Charlatans spawning and I have the hack. Something that is strange is when you look in SimPE (I have version SimPe_063g), some are still Mr Potato Heads and some are not. But the ones that are not Mr. Potato Heads that have already appeared in the game are not wearing the appropriate costume of the vacationland they were in. For example, in my current game (it's new, I started it today) I have only played the island vacationland and have not visited any of the other places. In SimPE, the Unsavory Charlatans are wearing Japanese Kimonos and yet in the game, they were wearing the hula outfit. Is this a SimPE problem with the clothes or just a glitch? But I do have around 6 Unsavory Charlatans so far and I've only visited 2 community lots in the island vacationland.

Tour Guides and Charlatans are not vacation-destination-specific. All reside in the NPC pool and the only thing that distinguishes them is the uniform they wear on different destinations. If the code had originally been working correctly, one would be selected from the pool of availables and then dressed in the local uniform. There is no particular reason why there would need to be *3*, though, other than that 3 is the magic number Maxis likes for "variety", even though there is no point in having a "variety" of Social Workers or Tour Guides or other Sims-Without-Names.
