Show us your Oddities!

At least they're exercising!

Walking that far on the shoulder of an RHW???? haha that's hilarious!!

[SteveMSim 275]

Must be the SimCity version of the historic Selma-to-Montgomery March.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

I had once the other way around. Sims are coming into town to a station at the edge of the city and then they all walked home, over every sidewalk there was in the city!

[Lukfi 3]

Now that's some bad weather coming to my cities...

Happened after I alt-tabbed out of the game, then back in after a while. It seems as if there's a "cloud storage" on the left side of the screen and the game sends them flying one by one... now all of them have set sail in one moment and there are no other clouds behind them :-D

@asteconn, that would make sense considering the RHW is just a reskin of a "dirt road" that Maxis never put into the final game, but left it in anyway. So essentially according to them they are just walking along a road.

A couple more oddities I've noticed:

This is especially true with CC lots, as with the example above.  On some residential lots on slopes, the yard will be tilted while the building itself is set on a foundation that conforms to the highest point of the lot, leading to some very steep yards.  Even the patio furniture is tilted.  Imagine having a cookout on that yard!

Looks like some sim couldn't wait for his home to be completed so he moved in when construction started and commuted to work while his home is still under construction.  Also, why are the wildlife on the sidewalks?

You need the stealth bear bombers. Springfield might lend you some...

Aslo, that's one steep backyard...looks fun for toboganing...

[SteveMSim 275]

Some more strange stuff going on.  This time wildlife invade a city park:

Above, several moose appear on a road and cross a canal bridge into the park.

Next, they take a swim in the canal.

The moose then emerge from the canal into the park.

One moose munches on the gazebo's shrubs while one sim pays no attention to the trespasser.

I spotted this llama with a group of sims in the park.  Is the llama a sim's pet or just joining the gathering?

Is this a park or a wildlife refuge?

lmao @ the wildlife in the park. funny captions

[SC4BOY 21]

I'll bet this makes for ONE TIRED SIM at the end of the workday.. bet he's  not overweight..

And do you think this sailor is REALLY GOOD? or REALLY BAD? ...

[villagemayor 0]

poor sail boat is stuck. How did that get in there?

[Spinmaster 75]

Even the Tidy Bowl man needs a little R&R sometimes, I suppose.

[bigthing 35]

He must be really good for getting in there but really bad for getting stuck :-p

[ironicepitome 0]

I think that sailors pretty damn good! How else can he fit that tall sailboat under those low bridges, then get himself stuck!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I just love the name of your city!

[astronelson 339]

Note to SC4BOY: Could you please resize the first image to 800x600? Thank you.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

You should put this in the 'Show us your Oddities!' tread.

Greetings Everyone!

I have been doing a lot of reading in the Omnibus section of this site and I came accros a couple of cool topic's, like "Adding Custom Music" and "Changing the backgroud".

Well, needless to say, I have been playing around and I changed my screen background and when I did I started the game a normal so I could test it out.  Upon going into city mode I noticed something funny in the top left hand corner of the city map.  I zoomed in and found this.

I looks like my sims are praising GOD or something.  At least some of them look that way.  I never noticed this with the old background, only when I changed it.

Has anyone else seen this before?

If you have any other oddities that you have found in the game please show them.

Edited picture size. Max: 800x600

Good Idea. Can a MOD lock this out and combine it with the oddity thread?

Muck308: Yes I did. I searched all four corners and could not find it again. If I restart the the game it does it again but only in the top left corner. Strange huh?

Where is the "'Show us your Oddities!' thread? I have searched and can not find it. I even used the little search feature with no luck.

[CaptCity 4,913]

I remember seeing this pictured a while back. It was on SC4Devotion, I think.

And moved to "Show us your oddities" thread...

[Muck308 55]

Did you look for another towards the bottom? I've never seen that before.

[shermankim777 0]

that is normal, it always does that when u start a new city, but they are suppose to be in the middle of the map and not in the corner.....

[Hard_Justice 0]

Thanks for the move Boss!

Actually this image predates RHW by at least a year - that's avenue they're strolling along. But still, a marathon a day keeps the doctors away!

[Schulmanator 5,811]

Here's a little something I discovered while preparing the place for my next Schulmania update - the one featuring the new home of sweet baby Coco. To be honest, I was quite surprised. I never expected to see this in game - especially considering how fussy and whiny the Sims are programmed to be. But, here ya go...

And, to get a feel for the scale of what is shown in the large mosaic below, click here to view the Schulmania Region Map.

The picture I am showing you is actual size. So, I have a clickable thumbnail for you to keep the post Simtropolis legal. Lemme know what you think of this. I am wondering if Schulmania has actually reprogrammed Sim City!

Be sure to CLICK THE PIC!

Some really funny pictures everyone

[zahrul3 472]

Wow, all off those are funny(especailly the wildlife in the city and the tilted yard.)

So here's my oddities:

ATC being cut in half by corrupted Maxis grass texture:

The rear train actually has lost its locomotive and joins the front train(which happens to be going solo)

[Servan 5]

I thought this was going to be a serious collision:

But Instead...

[zahrul3 472]

@servan: It's common, especially if it involves NAM and other custom content(it happened to me too, but when you do a UDI, the train that you are not driving will crash.)
