The problem was only temporary. It happened when I switched windows while a city was loading.

Race between a car and a man in a wheelchair



"Hey you, the guy in the orange car! Stop right now!!"

Something tells me that the Maxis team had some vacation on Greece before or during the creation of the game



"YOU' RE UNDER ARREST, MAYOR!"

Nope, that's Joe Swanson trying to stop a getaway car...

[SuperTimo]

stupid reflect systems incorporated!

[Seshormerow]

I guess the police can't see the dude flashing over there.

[Terring7]

Damn kids, get out of the tennis court!



Watch out!!!

[Terring7]

SETI!

[Terring7]

This is the second time it happens... and not in the same city!!

No pics, but..

While reading an ancient game FAQ written back in 2003, today, I read that if you do

Code Select Expand

(query) + (shift) + (click traffic light)

you can control the traffic lights (eg. set them to green or red) and, while trying that out, I noticed that when you do

Code Select Expand

(query) + (shift) + (click car/sim)

the game camera will follow the movements of that car/sim until it dissappears. Fun huh?

[io_bg]

^ Lol, will have to try that out

[j-dub]

Dang, CasperVg, I didn't even know that. I only knew how to steal traffic cars so I could drive anything I wanted (cntrl-x, udriveit) but did not know there was a way to just lock the camera onto something moving.

Spaceplane

[j-dub]

Oh? Really, or does it just look that way because its flying up in the night sky?

[sim-al2]

Well looking at it, that seems to be the region view, and judging by the scale of buildings in the region thumbnails, that plane is just about in low orbit...

Hate those damn blds too

Took me a while to find it but LOL

[JeeKTan]

I don't know this is counted as a game oddities but......



You can see how sims go to office.......by jumping from the elevated road to their windows!

[FrankU]

Ah, yes. That's nice. Now we can spare the entrance for visitors.

I also found this kind of oddities: railroadcrossings are used by passengers to jump onto the other track.



And buses that drive long ways around the city just to end up around the corner. No images a.t.m.

[JeeKTan]

lol

[Terring7]

Sims in the future will build their cities in water, in space, in arcologies and underground. See?
