It happens about once a year or so, not regular at all and never at the same corner of the citytile. What it is I have no idea and where it comes from, neither. Strange that it only happens in one specific citytile of all the other hundreds I have.

Hello everyone,

Here, I show off a little bit of New Rotterdam (where I had this radiation problem which I have asked for a remedy on a forum). In this city, I've got one little strange truck driver, visiting every corner of the city. In the first 9 pictures you see that crazed guy seriously driving all the way from the south towards to north of a large tile! He does this without noticing the freight rail station (in the very last picture, and probably the first few), while that is a faster route after all...

I don't comment the following bug:

Check out the bus traffic information:

 

Interesting.  There's nothing on this stretch of road, not even bus stops.  Now here's an overview of the southern half of the city tile - there's nothing except a road and highway in the northern half (not shown):

I don't understand the need for so many buses in a small town - the neighboring city to the south only has almost 750 people.  I guess the bus system is highly unionized!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Yeah, I get commuter towns with bus routes stretching through them like that.

I call this an oddity:

The longest monorail I've EVER SEEN!!

[Retep Molinari 68]

I think that's multiple trains, but goodness!!

[citiesxlfan42 27]

Whoa! If that is one train, wow. Somebody likes thier mass transit. If it's multiple trains, ouch. That's one of the things Maxis failed with. Anyway, I had this accident with the NWM.

I placed an AVE-2 starter, and a 500 ft. sinkhole formed! Stinks for the guy with the modern swedish house. His house is going down and his driveway forces him into the hole because of the AVE-2.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

hahahaha! I think I'll go for a wal... AAGH!!!

Welcome back citiesxlfan42!

What if you're Chinese? Then where does it go to?

[JLAAPRTM 12]

@ROFLyoshi: America, Silly!

Anyways, I've decided to share some of mine, and I am sure you'll enjoy them!

I wonder how the solar panels will work if they're always blocked by the building!?!

So, the you teleport to the bus station, fly to the highway, and turn into a bus? How complicated!

Countdown till the ship falls off the region: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...........!

The tornado must be having some difficulties actully looking like one.........

AHA! I've found the secret to building buildings! You build them underground and then push them through the ground!

Some very deformed land and fences! (why are there no props or land textures?)

I know this has nothing to do with inside the game, but I discovered that the city tiles in the regions folder have turned into rollercoaster tycoon scenario files!!!(I do play the game once in a while) Why is this?

That's all I have today, folks! Hope you've enjoyed them!

[TekindusT 3,809]

The bus-to-highway transition bug is pretty common, at least it is on my game. Any bus station adjacent to a highway (Maxis or RHW) will work as a mini on/off ramp. I tend to take profit of this bug placing some of my bus stops besides the highways; you lose on realism, but your commuters thank you.

So Simcity could predict it? WOW

[JayStimson 211]

It's like the sinkhole in Guatemala City ? It is. Isn't that amazing. The one in RL I mean. Holy crap. Wouldn't want to be a pedestrian jaywalking when that baby caved in.

[_marsh_ 1,117]

Where did the ground go!?!?!?!

[meister1235 92]

 JLAAPRTM: this is not a SC4 bug this is a setting in the winows registry

_marsh_: i think your bug have the same reason like my oddie at the top of the page

[timmie 988]

Half of my region burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp.

And here is the result! A giant black hole! Hooray!

[Evillions 552]

That looks knda photoshopped, but works for me. lol

[spiritshadowx 0]

I spent 4 hours altogether on one city, and THIS happened after saving & Exiting

If you dont notice what i mean, look at the resident count then how many houses there are on the highlighted map.

Also, notice there's more residents in this city than the Capital City, lol.

EDIT: Just to say the City is fine, its only plains on the map. The actual City is still there.

[gio10469 24]

@Spiritshadowx: ahh thats a common problem for me. It usually occurs when you are using Sim City in windowed mode and you leave the window while the game is saving. All you have to do is re-enter and re-save the region and it should go back to normal.

[timmie 988]

Oh my gaaaaawd: look what happened!

Horrible stuff!

[GMT 389]

funny how most of the graphic bugs are on vista systems

I can SO tell stories about this. wierd.

[This is my name 13]

Now for something different...

[Aldini10 14]

Really weird stuff in this thread...
