removing batten & painting wall board

Hi Everybody,
I know this has been discussed before, but I am unsure of the technic to painting the walls. I have textured vinyl walls and I know from this site that I need to wash, then prime, and then be able to paint. What I am unsure of is this. Does the primer get rid of the texture on the wallpaper. If not how do I fix the problem of smooth taped seams and the texture of the wallpaper. I have learned from this site that some people have skim coated the walls. Is this what I need do? That would be an awfully big job, but I would love to have different color walls than boring beige.
Thanks for any help.
Debbie.
