Nope, I didn't see it. You had to point it out to me.

I've run some city tiles up into the 4 digit years. Maybe even as far as the middle ages, but I've not gone to where it's the current date. Ofc, this doesn't count if you used the cheat to set the date.

Was not aware there was a cheat for that lol.  I used to plop everything but the functionality of the city really sucked.  So I started using zones, but I still want to use particular buildings in specific places so I run the simulation a lot to try and get what I want to grow.  I’ve burned over 100 years or more just waiting on a specific block.

This oddity is a wee bit different. I watched this video, then went to this site, and let it convert a SimCity 4 image into a spreadsheet of values ranging from 0 to 255. It looks like this at 200%:

Which just looks weird, however when smooshing it down to 20% in Libre Office's Calc program and setting the column widths to 0.39 it looks like this:

 

The only problem is the file it creates on that site must be opened with true MS Excel cause it has to do some sort of repair. @Cyclone Boom did that and then Libre Office would accept it. I'll attach the files in case anyone wants to see them for themselves in a spreadsheet program.

For Libre Office Calc: Cori-Farm-Libre-Office-pixel-spreadsheet.ods

For true Excel: Cori-Farm-pixel-spreadsheet_10-percent.xlsx

The picture with the farm reminds me the old trailers and intros of video games from the 90's.

I can imagine the snow piling up there in the winter.

Which would actually enable drivers to pass this spot for the first time if it piles up high enough. Then again, coming from the bottom right you might just make it if only you drive fast enough...

Ah, the memories... guess we all started building without a slope mod and ended up having many "missile shooting ramps" in our cities.

@rivit: That looks like the car (or several cars!) had been compressed to a box-shaped lump of metal at the scrapyard and dumped on the sidewalk. Maybe it's a Mafia threat? In any case, beautiful UVW mapping!

yes I agree,  but first I have to find the culprit...

Later - found it! - the Japanese Car Mod overrides Some Simcity1 models (this one 0x1063) was a pickup in SC4 - so you can get new textures on a old model depending on the loading sequence.

Turing lane glitch?

Prolly better hire a different contractor who doesn't make them out of thermite!

[nycsc4 5,250]

So this is a new one for me.  While waiting for some row homes to grow I noticed this throwing action near a large downtown apartment tower and discovered a bunch of randy kids tossing toilet paper into a tree.  If I knew how to create gifs, I'd make one.  Just the thing @SimFox would leave on one of his lots

Thanks!

Train Troubles

ohh god help me I've got a Financial Advisor who can't do basic math. This system is clearly very profitable.

Okay, this is a major one, I hope no one walks off the edge.

No need for the "drawpaths" cheat when automata can just show them for you

You've got a glitch in the Matrix.

I did not realize the Sims had a ritual usually associated with Lemmings.
Maybe I should have built a fence.

I watched them jump off, but I did not get to the Print Screen key fast enough.

Similar to someone else's post a year or so ago. Had a wee bit of a graphic glitch:

[Lucario Boricua 7,028]

First odd post in ages!!

 

Sure, the lamp posts might provide better nighttime illumination placed that way, but I don't think that's the safest positioning for them.

 

 

...I gotta find a new contractor to build the street lighting.

 

 

Surely the city looks this way because of ongoing urban renewal, right?

 

 

OMAIGAWD, how the hell did demand get this horrible!?!?! For some reason the commercial and industrial demands are negative (and the city still grows buildings in those zones) but the residential demand disappeared entirely, that's what's worrisome for me.

[Silur 3,304]

Here's what happens when you use bump elevation from NAM (Raiser Lot) + PEG MTP No Street or Road Junk MOD 205 and when you have a dependency with a Building/prop Family position of 0x00000000 !!! 
I suffered with this problem for about 12 hours, but found the cause.

I do not advise You to deal with Building/prop Family position of 0x00000000 !!! 

Maybe it will help someone in the future.

Good luck to You all.

This forest. Made with god mode brush.

Looks like some inner weirdness with the moisture simulation getting catched by the tree-planting pattern

[TakemeThere 5,833]

Note to self: time to throw out some of those old save files, just a little bit incompatible with current plugins folder...

Uh-oh.

Dunno about you, but I kinda like it
