In fact, that's part of the model, in the same way some custom content buildings have slope adaptable entrance stairs. It looks well and adds slope tolerance... up to a point, of course.

[Compdude787 916]

Boy, I never build houses on such steep slopes anymore so I don't see things like that. That's cool though!

Where'd the other powerline tower go? notice the empty tile it should be in. I'm not complaining it works out better for me, maybe I just want to know how to repeat this.

Oh. Sorry. I forgot to tell you. I painted the tower with invisible paint.

Attention all passengers! The next train approaching Platform 1 is not taking passengers due to the fact it's not real!

As if my sims do not know where to put extra industrial equipment as the warehouses are currently "full." Yes, this is an actual problem with my current tree controller. I am not sure which prop pack is causing this problem so far. *sigh*

The aliens are back!
And this time they're... hell I have no idea what they're doing this time    but it sure is damn creepy.

I've been researching the old records and I believe those are prolly friends of A Square from Mr. Abbott's 1884 Flatland.

If you see them edge on you won't see them. They'd be invisible.

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

Uhm, say that again, Mr. Sparks. We need a power plant to plug in the five thousand year old all stone what?!?

[philforhockey51 4,211]

@CorinaMarie what you didn't know about the giant electric light bulbs?

we all know that the pyramids are landing platforms for Goa'uld motherships, they need power to operate the Ring Transporters. I'm sure there is probably a Stargate inside the Pyramid as well.

Now kids, remember those are extremely high voltage power lines draped across the fence so be careful when you play out back.

 

(Done with the wonderful technique I learned here.)

"Look at the lovely weather! Why don't you children go out in the garden and fly your kite?"

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

"Let's go out and play!"

"Yeah!"

Weeeeee- *BZZZT*

[matias93 7,535]

That's fun, until it happens... and again...

[philforhockey51 4,211]

It's one thing to have the pole fall on you, it's another to climb it.

[CorinaMarie 29,605]

Overheard:

... Well yes, Jamil, it does look like fun going west bound, but have you considered what's gonna happen to the high speed traffic coming the other way? ...

 

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

I have no idea how I managed to drag out the one on the left right... FA 0.75?

[Compdude787 916]

Dang, that's pretty cool! If only you could figure out how to replicate that.

I tried a couple things and could not recreate it. It must be magic.

 

Here we have the floating orange trees. The worker picks them from 20 feet above.

And don't even get me started on how the horses complain about that first bump when I pull the trailer onto the street.

 

[Toby Ferrian 873]

I don't think that's how light works...

Seems perfectly alright. Just follow that road.

Next on our tour of Coriland Oddities we see Farmer Brown's barn where he keeps his sure-footed, extra long-legged horses:

 

[Compdude787 916]

Aaand...this is why I don't like building on slopes. Retaining walls around lots like that have always annoyed me. 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

"Sure thing, Steve. I'll just go out and take a look where that darned horse has goooOOOOOOOOOooo..." *bump* "-ooooo-" *bump* -"oooo-" *bump* *thud*

this building is a slip trip and fall lawyers dream. You could create the story of Jack and Jill here , but just the falling down part.

So the major oddity to me is less the missing train cars, but that I saved the game and exited to region and then came back to it after about half a year and well the engine stuck around, though automata normally doesn't. I also hit play and it drove down the track.

Earlier in the day:

"Yo, Desmond, we've got a bunch of freight cars to deliver."

"Screw that. Let's go joy riding in the engine!"
