Also, anyone having a problem with the way the tour guide talkes when asking a question?  For me he says unk?  or when you ask whats cool around here he says "mascot" or "chd" or "unk" ........lol go figure.

I know it seems like a lot, but what you need to do, is remove any and all files that you think are suspect including the hacks and try to run the game, then end it, and go back and grab a few files at a time and put them in the download folder and run game again and see what happens.  I had to do this and found a file in my mod the sims folder that was causing problems and once I removed it my BV runs fine with the exception of not being able to order room svc which is no big deal for me really.

Hi everyone, I was reading all the replies about BV, and I have the same lag, but I generally just wait and it starts up again it's like it's thinking about what to do next...lol.  I had a problem with a hack in my game my sims couldn't check into their hotel room, but I found the problem and if any of you have the hack "buybuild" for pets remove it from your files.  So far these files I have seem to work with the game:
Merola's painting
Christianlov's all in one npc (even though he is retired)
DMA Sims
Monique's banking computer

I still have these and a few more in the game and  no problems so far.  However I did notice that when using the phone to order room service I never get it.  But this may be due to a phone hack I have in my file.  Thats all for me.
