Well as it takes longer to go from lot to lot, I do find myself feeling bored with the game, so that when I take out my mobile and listen to music, make some coffee/tea get a drink, etc..  When you get back the lot has just loaded and ready to play.


haha i do the exact same thing when lots are loading coz they take the pee on mine. Bon voyage just made the waiting longer...meaning my phone needed more music and my charger needed to be closer.

Put custom music in your game and it'll play that as it loads ;)

Well, I have to agree with missaaliyah here.  About the only addition of any merit is the swim-able sea -- it appears the mongs at EA learnt nothing from the defects and player dissatisfaction of the Vacation EP for the original game.  Both are probably equally buggy and insipid, but thankfully the hideous, piss-poor, annoying theme mascots are largely absent from Bon Voyage.

Also, I agree in part with DocFX here, the enjoyment of BV hinges largely on the presence of Nightlife & Seasons EPs, the rest of the EPs you can totally avoid with no appreciable loss; but this speaks more to the benefits of Nightlife and Seasons than to anything dealing with Bon Voyage.

Also, nuttyspiritual is right, unless you have some unaccountable obsession with digital pets, the Pets EP is a total waste of time and money, and does nothing to help Bon Voyage performance.

So the final analysis I have formed is "Thanks, but no" -- I can survive without adding swim-able seas.

I've got to say that after everything I have gone through to get this damn ep to work, I haven't found it as good as I'd hoped.  Sent one of my couples on a romantic weekend with the intention of getting them wed in a romantic setting, for example.  Didn't work out.  beach front, camp fire, nice accomodation and guess what?  No option to get wed.  Had a honeymoon with no wedding.  Still, after attempts to rectify issues with driver downloads, defragging disks, unloading and reloading I now have all my issues apparantly solved.  How?  Well, hubbie wanted a laptop for his new college courses and my two year old Evesham is a very well spec'd machine that more than meets his needs, so for three hundred pounds more than his budget I have got myself a lovely new one with a Ge8800 graphics card and 320 gig of memory.  Only thing I'm unsure about is that it runs on Vista, which is fine except that the SimsPack downloads install very slowly and have a tendency to hang up.  Thanks to everyone in this site who helped me and gave me advice.  With all this I'm actually starting to get a bit computer literate.  I love my new laptop.  Oops.  Geasy fingers.  Where's that duster?:happy8:

Hi Tomkat, you didn't think you would use the massage tables, but they are one of the things I like.  Ok, so I'm an aromatherapist.  Don't like the restrictions on who seems to be get a massage, though.  For example I massaged my son when he had colic and when he was in pain from an illness when he was young.  Also, after watching the extent of the massages and the technique - that's not much of a swedish massage - I think that they are way overpriced!
