Show us your Oddities!

[Turjan 1,048]

Yup. The cloud animations just add up in the time you minimize the game and then start all at once when you open the window again. They clouds will disappear normally if you wait for a while, and the usual frequency will resume.

[timmie 988]

Yap, it's a visual oddity that happens when you minimize the game, I have been able to admire the fog very often

 

[RipRap 4,400]

Some weird oddity using windowed mode, but has been fixed

[KonstantinII 1,106]

I noticed when I build the California Plaza a lama appears from time to time around it. Someone must be feeding it. The lama is coming back for more!

 

Strangely, school buses usually don't come in very long limousine style,

And I didn't build any schools.

[Terring 6,473]

You build the Major Art Museum, which also spawn school buses

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Vertical farms are just not tall enough these days.

 

This is very peculiar.   Yet when I loaded the city it was normal again.

 

From this angle the apartments look fine.

But when I zoom in...  

[atsummerlin53 47]

Yeah, it does it for me too, and in the Lot Editor. Some kind of glitch in the file.

[airman15 4,111]

Maybe the Game Graphic Glitch Gremlin moved in..

[Charlie_Zane 963]

I was just scrolling through my city and, then, just.. um what

 

And then in region view it looked like this..

[monomass 36]

City_Master, I was loving that region. Please tell me you were able to reboot and all was well!

[timmie 988]

Those are just visual glitches probably, nothing to worry about

[Charlie_Zane 963]

yeah it was just a visual glitch, loaded it and it was fine.

 

I'll have to post an updated region shot sometime this week though

im pretty bad at building on hills

also my bumpy roads lmao

why cant i attach those as images?

[timmie 988]

I think the problem of the image is that the link doesn't have an extension. This confuses the forum software. Don't you have a link to the image file itself?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

You'd better hope that those are flying cars that you're driving there...

 

Also interesting is that the trucks are drawn under the arrows, but their cargo is drawn over the arrows, making it look like it's floating.

Not so much an oddity as just a lack of a slope mod.

 

I think your images aren't linking because of what Timmie said: no extension.  Try uploading them using something other than Steam.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

I was playing one of my sandbox regions and noticed this. Note that those are maxis buildings with the glitch:

[Bdub01 201]

^ That is pretty odd.

Weird. The images show up fine in the post editor.

[agunter999 200]

[image]

That is due to a missing base texture

[Turjan 1,048]

I guess this is not so much an oddity as an everyday nuisance:

 

"Business was going well for Canada Permanent Insurance, so they decided to add a new wing to their building. Or two. Or whatever it takes..."

 

[Durfsurn 539]

That's some large repetition there!

[Turjan 1,048]

Yes, that's about 50 finished buildings, and the two building scaffolds will also turn into more of the same. Everything sprouted up within a few minutes. I thought the game wanted to tell me something, and I rezoned part of the patch with high density. The game thanked me by growing seven Blue Platter Limited .

 

 

Finally, the Talin Tower Suites that grew next helped with the situation, although there are still nearly 40 Canada Permanent Insurance buildings in this block.

[U3D 6]

Normally I play on zoom level 3 when playing my cities and zoom level 4 when I'm laying out the road networks in the beginning.

 

However, I wanted to get a wide shot of my CBD on level 4 and... well... this happened.

 

 

I adjusted the building draw speed thinking all the details might have overpowered my graphics card, but it ran perfectly fine and all the animations were even smooth. 

 

I panned the camera around and it looked even worse.

 

 

If I zoom out to level 5 (which isn't a view I normally use anyway) the game crashes. 

 

Everything looks fine at 3 and lower and I haven't seen any BBBs, at least not in this city. 

 

 

[timmie 988]

The graphics often go wrong when you put your pc in hibernate and want to continue playing after that. Well, that's the case with me anyway. A restart of the game helps in cases like these (well, in my case, that is).

[Charlie_Zane 963]

I don't think my city quite knows how to construct underground freeways?

I dispatched this guy to a fire halfway across town but he goes to the McDonald's drive-thru instead.

 

"What's that? Your house is burning down?! Oh I'll be on my way in a few, let me order my spicy McChicken first."

[Haljackey 17,302]

Game glitched, but it looks kinda neat:

Hahaha, that's funny! BTW, where did you get that McDonald's lot?

This is what happens if I used the RHW neighbor connector pieces while there's no neighboring city built yet.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

This is what happens if I used the RHW neighbor connector pieces while there's no neighboring city built yet.

That's RHW FAQ 12.10.6. (Yes, I anticipated that question ages ago.)
