I've only seen it when the mouse is near and you've eliminated that as the cause.

Looks more as if some transparencies are allowing some of the underlying cosmic grid to show through. Could the water be too shallow there (is the ground under your water lot raised slightly there?). It could be that the cosmic grid is poking through the water-lot's opaque foundation layer so that the grid shows faintly through the translucent water.

The grid is also showing in the roundabout. That's unlikely to be built on water.

I've never had a train wreck before.

I could not get rid of them until I restarted the game.

Uhm...has someone lost a Freight Car?It can be picked up under the Tree at the City Hall.

 

 

I assume it`s a Conflict between a MMP and a Prop from the City Hall.

Because the City Hall i demolished earlier (i thought it was a wrongly plopped MMP) was a Semi Truck with Trailer

The following picture isn't really an oddity, this is technically really possible. (Only some less obvious part really is somewhat odd - the fact that my Sims are leaving the highway just to get back on it.) But it's thiss hilarious that I had to share it somewhere.

The situation as it is (it's the interchange that is the matter now): The underpass is actually a fake, since there are no FLUP beneath diagonal RHW-4 puzzle pieces - therefore, my Sims cannot get across the highway. The same can be said about the tunnel entrance: These are two transit-enabled lots just next to each other, which are supposed to fake a tunnel entrance (since the border of the entire region is right there, I don't really bother making it functional). There are two apartment complexes with residents that want to go to work somewhere.

This is what I'm getting for doing all of this: The picture tells more than thousand words.

was the flat car necessary if this was all it was gonna carry?

Missing Texture on a default Maxis Building?

[Toby Ferrian 873]

I don't see it.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Towards the left, between the two dumpsters. The tree is standing on what looks to be the game's background colour shining through. However, that's not a default building, I think...

It's Gregory Tile. I think thats default.

[raynev1 1,886]

I believe that building has the water bug . I've noticed it in the past and fixes by changing to zone view and back .

Yes, I checked again and you are right: it is a default building. Come to think of it, I'm not sure because it's been a while since I last played the game, but I may have witnessed something like that in the past. I'm half tempted to take a look at the affected lot.

[HayleyRenaNemeth 465]

we seem to be getting a wee bit off track.

OK, so Maxis did screw up. See for yourself:

As you can plainly see, Maxis simply forgot to add a base texture on the rear tile of the affected lot (0x60001060 --- CO$$5_1x2).

Could it be a shipment of something heavy? I have seen some trucks carrying lead and it doesn't take much for a load to reach max. capacity. Unless this shipment is being transferred from a nearby gold deposit?

[SimCoug 5,972]

You know it's been a while since opening a city tile if you see this...


Thank you for saving my railroads NAM

Trying out the HBS Mall , and this happened when it degraded . But when it re-occupied it was back to good again . Am I missing something or is this what it is supposed to do ? 

I thought I had all of the dependencies , IDK .

I've never used it so I don't know if that's supposed to happen, but from this zoom level it looks like a bunch of huge worms.

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

it's probably the same texture glitch I had lol

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

So, this has to be one of the shortest streets I've ever driven on. And the widest.

 

[Haljackey 17,302]

Maximum capacity reached, bring out the white gloves.

Just noticed something funny in @mattb325's newest STEX post. Some of those boats next tot he Ferry are now trapped

Only 2 drivers understand this off ramp is 2 lanes wide
