ITS NOT WORTH IT!
hotbeeyatch:
I have never really had a problem with any of the Ep's. I always take out my hacks and make sure anything I put back in has been ok'd or updated. Sometimes there are things about the new EP that bug me (like the constant "oh look it's raining" from Seasons) but usually some wonderful person creates a mod to fix it and I'm happy.

Alright, I am trying to make heads or tails of all of this. So the blue screen of death, game comes back and shortly there after comes the black screen is a common issue for many?
This has also been happening to me. I have no hacks/mods anywhere, I have up to date audio and video drivers, I have played without CC and with CC. I have also scaled down much of my CC that I don't use. My g/card is more than compatible and as this computer is only for the sims, I have over 100 gigs of free memory. I have also put in the anti redundancy download from MATY as well as by passed the launcher. So my understanding of this all is that this crashing issue is related to the game with which eventually a patch will be available to address the problem. In other words, save often and just ride this out. Am I correct or is there still something I have missed in my troubleshooting? LOL :beer::happy1:
Ps - I do love what this EP has to offer as I have with every EP that has come before it but this is the first time I have had problems related to a new EP.

This is my first time ever posting. I just wanted to say that I love the Sims 2 and all of the EP's that have come along with it. I've never had any problems with any of my games except when I didn't take out mods when I installed a new EP. I like BV and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I always buy my EP's within the first week they are released. I love the mods that are made for this game. I hope that everyone that is having problems will be able to work through them and enjoy the game.

And I also think that a poll about if you downloaded or bought the game would be interesting cause there certainly ARE people complainig about bugs and crashes although they downloaded the game without paying for it...
When the Sims 2 first came out, it was all over the net. But at the time whoever released the pirated version created the crack prior to actually really investing time in the game. So the crack would bypass the security but the player wouldn't be able to use the build option.. they were only able to buy objects. I thought it was kind of amusing.
But most of them are going to have to reinstall Bon Voyage if a patch is released. Most no cd cracks are version specific.. so the patch won't install over them so the original exe would have to be put back in place. If they're smart, they backed it up. But even after they install the patch, they then have to wait for a new no cd crack to come out that works with the patch. So those who pirate games, they may be saving 30 dollars.. but they get inconvenienced quite a bit.. so it's kinda karma like..
As for your TRL...
Your issue is Maxis related..
Bon Voyage is causing some video cards to break the signal to the monitor which causes it to think the computer is off. It's basically an out of sync error which has been a problem with the Sims 2 since Seasons. They patched Seasons and it seemed to be stable after that but so far there's no word on a Bon Voyage patch.
Been a week now to....
But it isn't a bug that's affect every one so Maxis probably realizes this and isn't as stressed about it having to much of a negative impact on sales. Either that or they're just slooooow. I mean they should have known about the bugs over a month ago. Publishers generally send out games to reviewers weeks before the games hit the market. You'd think a few of the reviewers would have noticed the bugs and let EA know..
Anywho.. maybe next week we'll have a patch.. hopefully..

Thank you Deviancy!!! I can ride it out, no problem. I am just glad to know that I can stop messing with everything. My hubby and his friends at work always say "SOS" = save often stupid! LOL I will just do that more than usual and when the blue screen comes a calling and the game comes back, I will heed the warning and exit the game. Again thank you!!
