I gave myself until Free Time was released to try to work out the bugs. Alas, BV has beaten me. I give up, I give in. But, of course, I ran right out (well, actually a whole day after the new release) and spent my $26 for Free Time - am I a sucker, or what? I'm just praying it's not as buggy. Thank goodness everything else up through Seasons works beautifully, especially with all the mods that I've downloaded (mostly from this site and Mod the Sims). Thank you all so, so much!!!
