I've been reading the boards since I bought and installed BV....... So far I've had numerous problems with it......


1- We had a couple of CD/DVD copying software that my hubby downloaded that I had to completely uninstall in order for the game to even boot up.....
2 all my hacks are removed....... however none of my custom content shows up except......  body shop items, some build items such as floors and walls, and my houses show up in the lot thumbnails.....(i've not tried any because of the fact none of my custom content shows up), and recolors of Maxis original furniture......
3- there is severe lag when I go to BV lots, and if the weather is bad.... raining, or snowing, and I happen to not be directly inside a house......
4-on the BV lot, my sim was completely in the red on hunger, and energy, but would not eat or sleep. She would lay down but get right back up, or sit down to eat then stand back up again without touching her food.   UUUGGGHHHH!!!! had to end vacation and take her back to regular lot in order for her to fill those needs.

I have enabled cc in the options menu then rebooted the game, and even my computer, did everything the same as I did when I added each of the other EP's. I've gone and deleted the groups.cache, and the files in the thumbnail folder.
So my question goes... how is it that most or even just some of us are having the same problems with the custom content but others are not having any issues? what are ya'll doing that, I'm not?Huh???

Several months back, I installed GLS on my computer.  Many, many Maxis items were missing after that install.  I reinstalled it and those items came back, but GLS items weren't available.  I think it took a total of 5 installations to get everything to work and show the way it should.  Beosboxboy dug into the installation process as much as he could and found that the code was buggy with the GLS disks.  Several people had the same experience as I had.

Has this problem been brought back to life with BV?  From the number of people saying they've had to reinstall, it's possible.  

1.  It sounds like you've resolved this issue in your post.  
2.  It may take several re-installations to get your CC to show up.  
3.  Much of the lag may be caused by the constant spawning Tour Guides.  See MissDoh's sticky post on this.
4.  I'm not sure what's happening with your 4th problem.
