The Sims 2 Bon Voyage - Another new expansion pack for the Sims 2

Yesterday i just received this new expansion pack for the Sims 2 series game, since i haven’t actually tested this game (because it just arrived yesterday, and i choose to install, test to see if the game is working as it should with numerous mods i’ve installed, and exit) so i can’t really talk to much about the new features inside this sixth expansion pack for the sims 2 other than you can get your sims to go on vacation to the new 3 vacation islands premade by the sims 2 developers itself

Although i find some of the new features included in this new sims expansion pack a little bit interesting (taken from Wikipedia) :

• Ability to create custom destinations.
• Ability to buy vacation homes.
• New NPCs including ninjas, pirates, fire dancers, local chefs, various hotel staff, etc.
• New creature, the Bigfoot.
• Sims can learn skills such as local dances and local gestures from the locals at vacation destinations.
• Sims may wear accessories such as rings, earrings, and necklaces.
• Ability to walk to community lots instead of requiring a vehicle.
• Secret lots in vacation destinations that can be reached by finding a map to them.
• Ability to create beach lots.
• Sims can now "Dig For Treasure" on Community, Vacation, or Home lots and discover random objects.

And here are what those 3 new destination looks like :

Takemizu Village

Three Lakes

Twikkii Island

As a side note, based from what i’ve read about this game on Gamespot Website, this game is a little bit buggy (or perhaps more) according to a player review posted on gamespot :

This expansion, for those of us who could happily spend our lives traveling, is more fun than most of the others. But it is more than a bit buggy, and until you've checked out some of the online forums and chats you will have trouble creating your own getaway paradise. Which you will want to do.

And fortunately EA has released a patch for it (though i haven’t installed the patch yet, but i think it’s better to keep your sims 2 updated because that patch fix some serious bugs in Sims 2 Bon Voyage EP)

Here are the changelogs of the new patch for the sims 2 bon voyage :

Note: Not all fixes will take effect on existing The Sims 2 Bon Voyage saved games. If you have an existing lot, Sim, object or neighborhood that does not seem to be improved by this patch, we recommend that you replace the affected object, or create either a new family, lot or neighborhood, depending on what is affected by the bug.

• Sims will no longer have the option to call vacation service NPCs after acquiring the business perk "Head for Numbers" which was causing a crash.
• Sims will no longer have the option to "Call Taxi" using their cell phones if they have driven to the community lot with an own-able vehicle which was causing a crash.
• If the Sim misses the shuttle, it will no longer return to a vacation lot without the Sim at the end of the vacation. Sometimes, this caused the vacation lot to become unusable.
• Game will no longer create new vacation NPCs each time a lot is visited which was causing many issues due to character file overload. Any existing extra NPCs will be unlinked and their character files greatly reduced in size.
• Periodic Events Controller will no longer loop twice per hour through each neighbor which was causing extreme lag on certain machines.
• Autonomous water-balloon and snowball fights have been tuned so the interaction will occur less frequently.

As a last note, this game use Securom ;)
