With my Christmas money I decided to get myself and expansion pack. I went to my local Target store, and all they had was BV. I wanted Seasons as that is the next one I needed. So I say to myself, "what the heck, my mermaids need oceans to live in anyway! I'll just get Seasons later!"
I loaded it up, it was normal. This is what happened...

Notice there is no "
Launch Sims 2 Bon Voyage".... Interesting....
So I double click the icon to start the game, this is what I get...

A LINK TO EA ASKING ME TO PLAY ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angryfir:
So I call EA, what do I get? 2 different techs saying "Oh, that's weird" and "I donno, never heard of this problem before..."
Never had I been so pissed of with a tech support, AND tried to COMPLAIN about the lack of help and I get HUNG UP ON!
Needless to say, if I wasn't so damn poor, I'd microwave BOTH disk's and send them back. But I told the lady at the return counter to do it, and got Seasons instead. (Went to a different Target... all
they had was Seasons, no BV) I will NEVER get another expansion pack beyond what I have.
I know some people had issues with the SecuROM. Mine was nowhere related to that. I got a bad disk and they refused to admit it.
To EA, you punks really f***ed up this time. Fix
your problems and don't tell me they are mine to deal with!
Even better than un-helpful tech people, BV made it so that when I went to look at a picture I had on my computer, it said it was either a corrupt file, or the name was bad. THANK GOD I'm not retarded and I did a system restore after I FULLY deleted ANY BV file. I am currently reloading my game. I'm on disk 1 of UNI. This is going to be a long night.... at least I was planning on staying up late...
Happy new year to me EAxis almost made me lose my WHOLE last 5 years worth of pictures!!!
:rant:
OK ,done now.
