BV patch is out
Karen:
The BV patch is now available (http://thesims2.ea.com/update/) The list of changes is not very long:
"Note: Not all fixes will take effect on existing The Sims 2 Bon Voyage saved games. If you have an existing lot, Sim, object or neighborhood that does not seem to be improved by this patch, we recommend that you replace the affected object, or create either a new family, lot or neighborhood, depending on what is affected by the bug.
Sims will no longer have the option to call vacation service NPCs after acquiring the business perk "Head for Numbers" which was causing a crash.
Sims will no longer have the option to "Call Taxi" using their cell phones if they have driven to the community lot with an own-able vehicle which was causing a crash.
If the Sim misses the shuttle, it will no longer return to a vacation lot without the Sim at the end of the vacation. Sometimes, this caused the vacation lot to become unusable.
Game will no longer create new vacation NPCs each time a lot is visited which was causing many issues due to character file overload. Any existing extra NPCs will be unlinked and their character files greatly reduced in size.
Periodic Events Controller will no longer loop twice per hour through each neighbor which was causing extreme lag on certain machines.
Autonomous water-balloon and snowball fights have been tuned so the interaction will occur less frequently"
Personally, I think I'll wait to install this until others have had a chance to check it out.

Pescado! Is anyone of those fixes going to fix my Permanate Sunburn issue that you thought was secretly going to be fixed in the next patch?

Hell no am I installing this until somebody awesome confirms its not a crock of shit.
Furthermore, can someone point me in the right direction of instructions on how to patch while running a no-cd crack? I'm very new to all of this...

Well, since I had this happen just last night... GRRR. So I'll give it a shot. After I back up a little more.
What kills me is this part

So delete the family, since we can't fix it, and we can't fix the problem, so we've just disabled the trigger? ::) WTG there Eaxis!
Emma:
Thanks karen, not installing for the moment though. Like you, I am slightly wary of the stupid patches.

What the heck is that? ???
No mention of fixing the CAS jewelry or platinum pets...stupid EAxis.
Tigerlilley:
They did say they'd be bringing out more than one patch...
Which for EA is a great idea. Because then they can fuck up all the good work they did in the first patch with a borked second patch.
Like OFB. Good times.
I have no idea why I still play this game :(
