I'm still not interested in Bon Voyage. My big beef is the whole secur-rom thing. I'm sure I'm pre-worrying about something that probably wouldn't even affect me, but that's just the way I am. The only thing about BV that I wish I had was "new" turn ons/offs (like being turned on by unemployment, that cracks me up). I'd like to have it for the animations, too (especially if you can do "dirty" things with the massage animations--my whore house could use that). I was interested in Big Foot too, until I realized you couldn't have your sims marry/breed with him (and when I saw a snap of him I was mighty disappointed--just not what I had expected).
BV seems VERY buggy. And it's BAD bugs, like NPC's spawning at game destroying levels (there's a fix for that at MATY) and vacation sites just not working correctly. And quite frankly, a lot of my sims don't even have jobs, so what do they need to take a vacation from?
I also avoided BV because of the SimPE thing. But now that I have inSim (and use it to adjust ages) I could probably live without SimPE (though I'd have to go on a cloning binge lest I want someone and not be able to have them).
I agree with you on the Free Time interest. I think FT will make Open for Business that much more fun. Sims could really outfit their own stores with handmade stuff (though the thought of all those teddy bears makes me gag). But I want to see how buggy it is before I get too excited. MATY has a thread where people can make predictions on what they think will be messed up with FT. The safe bet is the whole car repair thing will be effed up and bird watching/birds will cause lag like the bug houses/water balloon fighting do.
I'm also still leery of the whole secur-rom thing. But I'd be willing to risk it for FT (after FT has some MATY fixes and inSim is updated).
I won't install any new expansions if I can't have inSim. I'd like to have simPE, too, but like I said, I can work without it. I also won't install a new expansion without knowing the major bugs and have their fixes/work arounds ready should I encounter them.
(I did like the video, especially the Grunt car repair part. But the video just makes me wonder how much of the cool stuff will either be "oh, we didn't have time to get to that" or just plain broken)
