List your Bon Vonyage bugs and compatabilty issues
fftamfan:
Bv has installed a bug in itself. Its called securom. The anti-piracy software has changed with this ep, problem is it causes more harm than good for legitimately owned consumers. Securom is know to cause very poor game performance and lag due to memory loopholes from securom, no matter what your specs are it will cause the same effect even on high end machines. This is a widespread issue in the gaming community, has effected other games in the past eg.tomb raider anniversary,supreme commander bioshock and list goes on. This issue should not be ignored, i believe this is one of the main culprits of bv's "memory leakage", other than the npc respawning.
Some further information regarding this issue of what SecuROM does:
- conflicts with normal programs eg.anti-virus, system explorer programs and nero
- scans unused areas of computer memory incl. the hard drive (leading to memory leakages)
- blacklists legitimate software eg. auto-run programs running in the background
- been reported that making backups and reinstalling bv is proven to be difficult due to secuROM
- can dysfunction cd-rom drives and virtual drives

umm.. i dunno if this is a new one or not. when i took my family on vacation to the islands i stayed at the hotel (i forget the name) that has a beach in the back. not the one with the individual houses but the hotel that has a resteraunt and the hula thing on the side.. anyway not the point. when i loaded the lot the insiminator was already on the lot.. in several diff places might i add. also on the lot was the relationship heart and the teddy bear and the motives diamond. the problem is.. they duplicate! like.. repeatedly.. over .. and over.. and over.. till theres no more walking space on the lot! i tried going to buy mode and just deleting them but its no use.. they keep appearing.. and just duplicating more and more. i dunno if theres a fix yet.. i just thought i'd put that out there.

I need help!!!!! None of my CCs work, the only things that work are lots and objects all others just don't show. up!!!!! I'm going out of my mind with that and the fact that my sim has a sunburn that won't go away how do I get rid of it???
SuperFake:
My list so far:
- graphic errors caused by nvidia+vista, can be toggled off by switching reflections off and restarting the game, than turning reflections ON again. Don't forget to toggle them OFF before leaving the game. Instead of restarting you can also type "vsync off" in the cheat box, then "vsync on" again. It's not logical, but it works as if it were....
- people start dancing the group dances where it's coming to their mind, not in the room where the music is. Quite annoying in discos or partys, because there's still a high chance that they got struck by lightning outside.
- overall there's no specific behaviour left- what I mean is, that serious, neat persons behave just the same way like playful, messy sims do. Elders behave like childs, childs behave more serious than their parents (ever saw an adult read the newspaper the last time? My kids do so, while their parents are playing in the sand at the beach or throwing water baloons). That's really annoying, because I like to *watch* the game, not only commanding them to do what I want.
That isn't a bug, but watching my sims on the lot, I sometimes guess that the next EP ist something like "Gone Crazy"- build your own sanatory, become a psychatrist and help your sims out of their mania.
