List your Bon Vonyage bugs and compatabilty issues
Deviancy:
I get the hang or lag at the content screen and the town selection screen. If I remove my mods, I just get it at the town selection screen and the vacation lots.
I also noticed the hang up does not happen when I play from a normal house, the real bad hang happens when they sims visit a vacation spot. I mean it gets bad. I disabled reflections, set shadows to medium, makes things better for a minute but then gets bad again. I'm far and above the minimum requirements and I'm slightly above the recomended requirements, so I don't know what the story is with this expansion.
I know the vacation lots have a bit too much content and a few to many sims on the lots. But I think this expansion is screaming for a patch already.
One good thing.. Bon Voyage adds jewelry. Which is a good because I noticed after I installed Seaons the custom jewelry would flash blue quite often, but now I don't have to use that custom junk. Not that I can even play the game right now, the lag is to annoying.
sapmb24:
I just found out, you can't use the selector on a sim you bring with you on your vacation.
MutantBunny:
Try the pet cheats--your friends on vacations are pets, didn't you know :)
Pretty sure that lag every few minutes is the game trying to phone home--whether you're on the internet or not. You can take a look at your taskmanager: The phone home is a rundll32.exe that pops up when you use the launcher. Switch your shortcut to point to the sims2ep6.exe and bypass the laucher.
Deviancy:
I'm bypassing the launcher and still getting the lag. I just did a clean install of all of the packs, didn't help. But I did find something odd in my task manager, an instance of iexplore which shouldn't have been there. But it was only using 234k, that wouldn't cause any kind of lag. I also verified my drivers, latest nvidia drivers though. Oddest thing. I'm gonna try a few more things though.. not done yet.
MutantBunny:
Also, for whatever reason, I had to 'switch' my shortcut twice. The first time for some reason didn't 'take'. I don't know what I could have done wrong. That is when I found the rundll running with the launcher. But the second time I switched it I hit apply, the saved then went back in to make sure it was switched. When I loaded the gaME THAT TIME, THE CORRECT EP6.EXE WAS RUNNING AND THERE WAS NO RUNDLL*.EXE. Ooo damn caps lock sorry. I also checked my firewall settings just to make sure. EP no phone home.
