Signal lights facing the wrong direction on a one-way-avenue turn off

That's because the NAM team made the Ave/OWR turnoff lights for LHD versions. Sorry but there is no fix and there will never be one.

There is something secret about this rock!:

Here's two - again not as odd as some other ones here, but still weird:

Tired of merely having a pool defy gravity in one direction?

These Sims have apparently learnt to fly - either that, or they can scale vertical retaining walls. Also, it looks like that top-right house's grass... isn't really.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

SC4 is stupid because you can have 20 metre retaining walls.

These are funny! I saw some weird ones, but never managed to take a picture. Like this one time, I put a beach and wanted to put some pedmall tiles around it, but I accidentally put one on top of the beach and the beach got demolished... but the lifeguard tower was still there!!! I tried to demolish it with everything, even a volcano, which destroyed my downtown... but it just didn't demolish! Also, the pedmall tiles can go underwater....

Count the textures that need fixing!*

I just thought I'd induce as many texture failures into the game as I could. Because I was bored.

*I counted four.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

I wouldn't say that ANY of those need fixing. I look at them and ask myself why anyone would want to even attempt most of them.

Haha

Silly sc4

[SC4BOY 20]

Here's an interesting one.. apparently a building was used as a prop INSIDE the World Trade Center and it seems to be delapidated.. This was taken with "zone view" on

If you turn off zone view, it looks perfectly normal

terring's post: Lmao at the green coca cola

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

That is rather a crappy BAT, not SC4 playing up. Nice pic though!

It was the great quake of 27, hundreds died as  1/4 of west canixture fell into

the earth.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

WTF? Thats really weird.

[steelersfanforlife 43]

Here is a huge glitch that happened yesterday while  developing a small city. i have no idea how this happened

[TEG24601 32]

I had a similar thing happen years ago on SC2K.  Was never able to recover the city, but I still hold on to it, just in case. 

[City2TheMax 3]

steelersfanforlife: I'm not sure about this, but I heard that what you have there could be because of a bad or overheated graphics card. it might be a good thing to look into that

[jmusacha 2]

Here is a photo I took of things getting a little rambunctious at the medium-size playground I built near the top of a mountain overlooking the city...  (I guess guardrails exist for a reason!)

[edman2012 33]

wat happened to 7smarty happened to me! I was really pissed off.

i've had other weird things happen too

[jmusacha 2]

And here's a rarity in Sim City 4:  A riot!

Even the guy in the wheelchair is trying to chase down and capture the garbage truck...

Now the rioters have forced a garbage truck and a toxic waste truck off the road, but its time for a Tianamen Square-style crackdown!

[bigthing 35]

Thats just how the game deals with a slope on a lot that has to be straght

[Quiksilver4250 0]

First pic: Just like Starbucks, on every freaking corner!

Second/Third pics: the NAM lets you do everything, including the impossible!

Fourth pic: I can think of a quicker way to get there

[miller45103 6]

hahaha sim city and its awesomeness! lol

[BKPB58 1]

I have an odd something in SC4 but because of my rush hour problem(check bug and tech forum),I was not able to share it to you.I can tell you still:

I was working on my city as usual.Just removed super ordinance mod and put some money lots in it too.I wanted to put a landmark near my First-grade cementery.I chose the Palace of fine arts(You know,the one with waters and fountains?).After a while,I wanted to put more trees in it so I used a cheat to have more God tools.I use the God trees and put it everywhere in the landmark.But I got carried away and 2 trees got on the water area.Like a tree on an ocean without an island?I am gonna post the picture if I can fix my problem.

[thefunktopus 1]

hey steelersfan i have the same problem when i'm playing on my laptop. i have integrated graphics (oh the shame) and it does that unytil i change the zoom level. when i come out of the game it says that display driver igsfx stopped responding and has succesfully recovered.

i blame vista!!!

[SteveMSim 275]

This is the ferry pier in one of my cities:

This is not the only city where I've seen this bug.  This apparently happens when you place a ferry pier on a moderate slope.

[Darth Apple 54]

terribly odd... I wouldn't wanna use it, LOL.

[asteconn 9]

This is onw of the wierdest non-bugs I've ever had. 1205 pedestrians commuting from the rail station to the next town:

[villagemayor 0]

lol lots of walking by thousands of commuters

[CTMandR 9]

march of the commuters! And there are secret props hidden in all our buildings...waiting for their moment to shine...

[Darth Apple 54]

A whole times square of commuters, maybe its some kind of rally of people protesting high gas prices!(Don't they do that with vehicles purposefully backing up traffic on the highway? gosh, do they delay!) lower them industry taxes!(Just kidding, that probably wont do any good. LOL.)
pherhaps you have a nam simulator.
