Show us your games oddities

I had that problem. I killed it using the No Maxis Mod. Best decision ever.

A foreclosure in Sanriku Springs, Austin:


(BTW, what causes the crosshatching on the driveway there?)

[jmyers2043]

The reason is because the games graphics is trying to determine whether to display the driveway or the ground that lays beneath the drive. The drive is a prop and not a base or overlay texture. Go to the lot editor and raise the driveway up 1 or two clicks. It will not completely stop it but will make it less likely.

The real answer is to redo the lot trying to find a base or overlay texture for the drive instead of a prop.

Good Luck

@Tracker: Coit Towers used to grow all the time in my cities, but removing CAM seems to have fixed the problem. I fact, removing CAM seems to have fixed a lot of things.

RippleJet made a Coit Tower blocker someone referred me to.

In regards to the homes...

...the affected models are SG homes Greg's Place, maybe Röd Stuga too. They're in that line. There's one more too.

Ummm... Too many sims showed up for work?

I posted one like this a while ago, but I think this takes the cake for occasional display errors.

What in the world caused that graphical error!? Well, while I'm here, I got a different kind of oddity, but City related.



See? That road is too short of a distance for that, not to mention while the roads may be wide to accommodate parking, the have real sharp corners, but technically SC4 did at first too. However there used to be this parking lot in reality I knew of that they reused a speed limit 45 sign, and only whited out the 4, that was weird though.

Industrial zone with an arrow?

Industrial zone with an arrow? 

That's not an oddity at all, you just have to hold Ctrl while zoning

[Nego]

io_bg is exactly right. In fact, that's how I do all of my industrial zoning (besides agriculture). BTW, that's an awesome looking industrial zone you have growing there, Haljackey! It's inspirational (in a way...).

[j-dub]

Yeah, and residential zones can be grown at 7x7, I only had one full neighborhood lot to grow though, that and the Lot Editor only allows residential to grow so big.

It is irritating you know the fact how that in the .exe programing they locked zoning without the arrows out though, kind of suspicious that the arrows show up after holding Ctrl down, not before.

I also noticed that when certain industrial buildings only have the access arrows spawn only after the building has grown there, after turning the zone view only on, which I do not really like to do, because it lags turning off.

New NVIDA Driver  :

[louistsw]

Some driver version also lead to this problem...
I think v260.99 is the best now

[TiFlo]

I was having similar problems with the drivers available through nvidia. Last week I went onto laptopvideo2go, downloaded their 270.51 version and installed it on my W7 x64. Running a 9800GTX+, everything seem to be fine again.
