List your Bon Vonyage bugs and compatabilty issues
Deviancy:
Ok first off..
The long quit time is normal, the game is saving at that time usually. It takes about an additional 15 seconds with BV installed though and even longer if you're using a resolution in the game that doesn't match the resolution on your desktop. I had to switch to a lower resoltion to play BV because of the sound bugs, it limits the audio clipping somewhat. I still get the 5 second hangs though.
As for Big Foot..
When you dig for treasure there's a map to be found. I found the map on the cheapest lot on the vaction spot. I can't remember name of the camp grounds area, twills? But if you dig for treasure in front of the home, you'll find a map. Once you find the map and then pick "walk to lot", the hidden locaiton will show up and you can pick it. The same goes for the witch doctor, you have to find the map in order for his lot to show up.
The witch doctor so far is the best hidden area. He gives you the voodoo doll which allow you to cast spells that sometimes back fire. However, you can spawn the voodoo doll using cheats, so if you're an impatient type you can go that route.
Almost everything learned on vaction such as hula, massage, fire dance, and voodoo can be done on the normal lots. Sunbathing appears to be the only thing that can only be done on beach property.
Fun expansion.. just wish they'd have tested it better.. but I have faith in a patch..

What resolution works best for you? I always had mine set to 1280 X 800 (same for desktop). I tried with a lower resolution 1024 X 768 and my lag is still crazy slow. For me its not an extra 15 seconds, sometimes its like 10 minutes or more with all the screens. To make a new nieghborhood it took almost a half hour. I have all eps and stuff pack except H&M and this is the first time the game did this for me without a large downloads folder. I usually remove most of the downloads when Im working on a mesh, becuase its much easier to see how the mesh works with bone assignments (it loads to the lot screen in a minute or two at most).
Did anyone else experience that kind of delay? I dont have a super gaming pc, but my comp is more than adequate according to the specs on the EA BV page. I really wish they tested it better before release too. I also made sure that I did not have any other programs running except the usual in the background (windows, mcaffe monitoring, and my wireless connection).
Any suggestions would be welcome and much appreciated! :h3lp: :wave:

I haven't had a chance to actually play BV yet, I've been busy doing the hack dance and trying to get a new hood started (finding a good terrain that would work with beach lots slowed me down but got some nice ones now)
about the only issue I have noticed is an occasional 2 second pause/freeze
