The Sims 2 Bon Voyage - Mac

The Sims 2 Bon Voyage is a great addition to The Sims 2 franchise, but whether you should buy it or not really depends on what you want added to the game. I had been a little disappointed with the last few expansion packs, due to an over abundance of certain things, and not enough of others. For instance, Bon Voyage is obviously about travel, and adds tons of new things to do with your sims outside of their own lot, which might not be ideal for someone with a slower computer, like me, that does not handle leaving the lot very well. However, Bon Voyage is also filled with a good amount of new building items, wallpapers, floors, objects, clothes, and even some new hairstyles. This expansion pack is a necessity for any true Sims 2 fan that has a computer strong enough to run it.

While not as good as Seasons or as funny as University, The Sims 2 Bon Voyage for Mac holds its own as a gorgeous change of pace for both the player and their Sims to enjoy. Three pre-made destinations to choose from, new objects, new outfits, new turn-ons and turn-offs, the option of giving your Sims jewelry, and the new option of vacation mementos, this expansion pack literally expands your world. I do agree that there are bugs, but there are patches that you can download for free if you either Google them or click on the link at the Sims 2 Official Site. As for whether Mac users will ever see another expansion pack (The Sims 3 is already scheduled for 2009) I can't be sure. I'm still waiting for Freetime AND Apartment Life myself.

This is truly the most fun expansion pack that I have bought.However, issues that I had with Seasons and video card compatibility were not solved with this expansion pack as promised.So, if you have a new Intel iMac with ATI Radeon HD 2600, do not buy this expansion pack until a patch comes out. Aspyr has been extremely slow in solving these issues and doesn't seem to care a great deal.The EA game issues have not been solved either, such as the NPC overload issue. However, EA has come out with a PC patch that fixes many of the issues. I'm still waiting on Aspyr to come out with a Mac patch.Otherwise, this is a fantastic game with great new clothes, objects, neighborhoods and game play. I strongly recommend the Bon Voyage EP to anyone with a Power PC Mac.

The ability to add Sim's vacations to your world? Heck yes. See the elusive Bigfoot and play games with him? Heck yes. Learn mystical magics and teleport here and there? Heck yes! Definitely worth the buy, and definitely fun. Make sure you grab up the base game and install this little ditty afterward. Your Mac will not thank you for all the gaming hours you're spending on it, wearing it down. Be advised, this game is addictive.

I'm not real critical of the Sims games. Anything Sim-related is cool with me. I installed extra RAM on my iMac to make playing this game a little better, but all-in-all, a great EP. Adds a ton of features to the Sims base game.

This is a great expansion pack for the Sims 2. It's a lot of fun to be able to whisk them away from everyday life, and take them on a romantic or fun getaway. Buy it, you won't be sorry!

My computer couldn't read the thing. When I received the game, I researched the reviews (I should've gone on there first).. and found out how dangerous this software could be. I was ripped off.

this is the best sims ive use
