I have been flying the 737, and have not had a problem with using the VOR.  Just to check, I made a test flight last night, using the Captain Sim supplied 737 flight from RWY 34R at KSEA.  Made sure that the toggle switch was in the NAV position, not GPS.  Took off, climbed to about 3000 feet, and after about 10 NM turned right to heading 070, then after about 5 NM turned right again to heading 160.  Used the GPS to monitor position, and Direct To KSEA.  When about 20 NM away, turned to heading 250.  When the GPS showed I would need about  heading 340 to KSEA I turned right, used the SimIcons to select autopilot, VOR mode, and approach mode.  Made slight heading adjustments as needed.  Set VOR to 110.3, the ILS for RWY 34R.  The VOR and glide slope indicators, both yellow, turned green as I captured the ILS and glide slope.  Set the autobrake on, pressed Shift + /, and lowered the landing gear.  Adjusted flaps and airspeed, and proceeded to land with no problems.  Suggest you try the same flight from KSEA RWY 34R and see if you can duplicate this flight.
