Jamil, I've been wondering why your civil engineering degree is all written in crayon...

A few oddities I've found while developing the suburb of Bakerville. (Pop. >16,000).

Note to self: Fire engineers.

Well, Back To The Future 2 predicted the future right. Flying cars do exist.

Isn't that cul-de-sac actually a lot? If yes, that's explainable (although in fact an oddity thanks to bad modding), since with lots, any kind of traffic at an adjacent traffic route doesn't mind jumping to the side of a road/track unless you modify the lot in a way that such a thing can't happen.

Better way to express it

That was a long trip for nothing. Let's go back home.

Actually, that makes total sense. There is no arrow going back so those two sims work in that subway station. Of course, nobody uses it so they must get reeeaaally bored.

Yeah, I guess they do work there. But why bother climbing the stairs, stepping onto the street, then back down the stairs to assume their post?

 

Here this one, lone pedestrian seems to have a lot of errands today:

Either they're filming National Lampoon's Vacation or too many people are moving in at once...

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

No really, honey, don't mind the traffic. This'll be a great place to live!

Jamil, I know these are levitating trains, but they need an actual surface to levitate on! Yes, that means you have to get your engineers and go fix that hole.

Ahhh... come on boss. Just go really fast and they'll skim right over that.

Chemical industry is very popular in town! Seems that these lots like to grow like mushrooms as soon as I create any industrial areas.

And BTW,

As if my sims do not know where to put extra industrial equipment as the warehouses are currently "full." Yes, this is an actual problem with my current tree controller. I am not sure which prop pack is causing this problem so far. *sigh*

 

Don't know if you solved it, but if not, I've recently had that issue. I opened a post and found the solution. Your problem is probably from  PEG Mayor Mode Construction Site Props 1 MMP's, good luck! ^^

They really look like mushrooms ...

Tried to get a screenshot for the challenge but ended up with this mess instead. I think I was doing some plugin folder management a while back and forgot something... Guess that's what happens when you haven't launched the game in a while.

Now featuring automata textures for trees and minimap for RHW segments!

Attention visitors: We have a couple dozen tents setup on the main highways for your convenience. Also, tours of Pablo Picasso's suburban development will start shortly...

@kingofsimcity Woa that looks like some major file corruption Hope it was just a one-time thing!

Cars on the train tracks after a fire & building collapse

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

At least my budget's in the greens...

[Toby Ferrian 873]

Whose idea was it to build a brick wall across the road??

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Here's an interesting thing I noticed. The path is the same color, but it appears different because of the different ground textures.

Prolly Jamil's. He's in charge of transportation. In my game I noticed his civil engineering degree was all written in crayon.

Here's look at the leaders at Trashrace 2016!

Lars is currently leading the pack but check out Omar in the back. Dude is keeping pace... while driving in reverse.

Seriously, he's just trolling them all at this point.

[matias93 7,535]

Well, it seems I've replicated @kingofsimcity's oddity with automata textures replacing terrain ones. check by yourselves my expansive prairies of ¿wagons?

For future reference, this was caused when using the trackpoint to scroll down on a menu (the oversized misc transportation, of course) and having the game forcefully minimized. When maximizing again, there appeared only two squares framing the quais lots with trees (they are seasonal and should have appeared before because of that). When the rest of the image showed, I got this, but strangely, the automata textures change with zoom levels.

I'm assuming this is only a graphic glitch, but my paranoical inner voice shouted "save a backup before doing anything stupid!", so I'll save the tile safely

EDIT: saving the game, minimizing it normally and going fullscreen again resolved the issue, it wasn't even necessary to reload the city tile.

I don't know what this is but it's costing me $200 a month in maintenance fees

If I were to guess (and I am guessing) I'd say it's a very, very large water bed. The costs are prolly so they can save up to build some walls around it and later add a roof.

A long time ago, in an earlier city of mine...

There was this curious tram that tried to eat it's tail

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

I believe @_marsh_ (in chat) has the right answer for this: "rich parents"

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

Overheard:

Wait! Y'all still get paid?!?

Yup.

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

On the phone:

Well no, Bella, it's not exactly a car and I don't know why I let that cute sales rep talk me into buying it. I guess you could call it a Caruck.

Just so happens I hit pause at the right moment and got this unplanned oddity.

I like how the game lists the employer as Retired. No doubt that's a great company to work for

None or n/a would of been the more logical thing to do. But as much as I love the game as we can see from the images in this thread sometimes logic & simcity go together like oil and water
