Suburban Dream and BV Price Glitch
First off, my apologies for releasing the "Suburban Dream" lot with the Aging Off cheat still active. This actually started out as a bare bones beta testing lot and I didn't want my resident Sims growing out of the age stages I needed them to be. Thanks to Pinecat I now know that the Aging Off code stays with a lot when it gets packaged.
I've fixed that little problem and taken care of a couple of other minor tweaks that became evident. The revised lot has been uploaded and you can either redownload or (much easier, especially if you've been playing the lot and have a family living there), just open your cheat window (Shift + CTRL + C) and type in "Aging On" (without quotes). Then press ENTER.
BON VOYAGE PLAYERS may see a few other oddities, as described in my previous entry. Nothing major and nothing that can't be fixed in the game, but BV does seem to wreak a bit of havoc in pre-BV lots. Some other builders have come forth to describe similar incidents. However, the biggest glitch appears to be a substantial increase in the lot price when pre-BV lots are installed in Bon Voyage. The lot will install at the stated price but as soon as you enter the lot, with or without Sims, the price zooms. This may rankle with purists who don't want to use cheats to increase their Sims' funds, and as the value of a Sim lot is figured into a Sim's total assets, this would increase their worth quite a bit. Wish it were that way in real life!
Anyway, I don't know as yet whether this is being addressed by EA/Maxis and will be taken care of with the upcoming patches. I'll post more as I get more information. In the meantime, if anyone has any more problems with my lots, using Bon Voyage or only up to Seasons, let me know, preferably by PM. I'll do whatever I can to fix the problem immediately.
