Title: Show us your games oddities
Post by: TheTeaCat on November 27, 2006, 09:29:48 AM
I noticed that sometimes odd things happen in our games and thought it might be interesting to see some of the things the game can do.

Take a look at these for example

I've noticed that it only happens if your working port is  too close to a coner of the map

Thanks Alfred.

I seen lots of other stuff as  well,  just got to find it happening at the right time and get a pic. As they say keep your eyes peeled you never know what we going to fnd.

How about trying to find all the gnomes and get pics of them. You know since getting the game, long time ago now it seems, I have never actually seen one of them. I know they are there but no matter what I do I can't find them.



PS I AM A MAYOR     WOHOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, I would like to see some gnomes too. I also never ever seen them and they should be around somewhere or are they scared off by the massive non-EA material I grow in my cities?

I found a Gnome!!

look CLOSELY in the first o and you'll see a Blue red and white "Thing"
This is the Gnome

Just so you know he doesn't do anything except blink on and off for a few seconds once a month.

The location for him differs with each landmark and some he doesn't appear at all. I've got half way through the landmark menu but i believe that there are something different with the rewards buildings(only origional Maxis stuff)

I shall try and catch a few more of them if I can.

It's not only the game that does odd things, we do it as well, and more often, that's for sure. This is what happens when you overdue something.

This is what happened on one of my first atempts to build a land bridge

This one is from my earlier days when I did not know how to flatten an area with the use of R or ALT R.

A huge security alert was triggered today when reports That a Gnome was spotted at two of the worlds famous landmarks Big Ben and The White House.

Both Governments wre quick to dismiss the idea of Gnomes possibly existing but these photographs which have come to my by an unknown source clearly show otherwise.

Check it out!

This happened to me an unbelievable 3 times in my school carreer... everytime on the same school.
the first time I went there about half a year, it was december '96 and it was the night from friday to saturday and I was supposed to be at school this saturday morning (the last year of school every 2nd saturday in your region) when my parents came home from one week in NYC. some homeless (or at least that's the official report) "broke" in through an open window on ground level and made themself comfortable on a livingroom-stage build up for a school play and there where these candles... I think you can figure out the end of the story. the whole old building of our school burned out... and the other two times within 2 weeks one february... I think it was '01... the first one a friend of mine "coincidentally" put the towel rail in one of the girls toilets aflame, and the other one was never clarified, the most stubborn version is that some guys from our neighboring school (a rather problematic school with about 75% immigrants) put toilets aflame and left with the words "now it's really burning here"... but this 3rd fire never got an official story.

so much for a students dream... why not just all my dreams come true 3 times??

Of course these were Maxis' surveyors, I only gave them general conditions  ;D

Btw, this interesting bridge appeared during my experiments with the slope mod, I want to make building land bridges much easier. As you see, I was able to make a bridge in some really new situations, but I'm not sure if such way of building would be useful for anybody... I didn't try to build bridges under water yet  :D

This is a normal situation with Puzzle Pieces.  It is actually very widely known that you can plop Puzzle Pieces in water, many people already do this with the Elevated Puzzle Pieces in the NAM.  If your water is more than 15m deep you will start getting underwater Elevated Puzzle Piece, traffic will still work as normal and you can go on in your daily routine, with underwater traffic..

There is another cool trick you can do...  You can have a completely underwater city.  Basically, you can go into SC4TF and change the height of the water to something that will put your existing city underwater, then go back in game and it will have your entire city looking like the City of Atlantis.  Of course you could do this the manual way with iLive Reader, but I would recommend that because, I dont think it wise for people not knowing what they are doing fiddling around in the Save Game files.  Now, with this "City of Atlantis" situation you will still have a working city, things will grow, abandon, sims will drive, etc.  Even do UDI missions underwater.  The only thing you will have lost is the ability to actaully expand your city underwater untill you reset the water level.  This could make for a cool MD if you wanted to make the City of Atlantis.

Heres an akward pic of the old Amtrack still going from regular rail to ground light rail and turning around on the single glr U-turn, but the cars look like they detached. Yes, in case you didn't know of my doing this earlier at some other point, what you see is a regular passenger train on a GLR track. The reason is I ended my regular R with a GLR turn around.

This is a normal situation with Puzzle Pieces.  It is actually very widely known that you can plop Puzzle Pieces in water, many people already do this with the Elevated Puzzle Pieces in the NAM.  If your water is more than 15m deep you will start getting underwater Elevated Puzzle Piece, traffic will still work as normal and you can go on in your daily routine, with underwater traffic..

There is another cool trick you can do...  You can have a completely underwater city.  Basically, you can go into SC4TF and change the height of the water to something that will put your existing city underwater, then go back in game and it will have your entire city looking like the City of Atlantis.  Of course you could do this the manual way with iLive Reader, but I would recommend that because, I dont think it wise for people not knowing what they are doing fiddling around in the Save Game files.  Now, with this "City of Atlantis" situation you will still have a working city, things will grow, abandon, sims will drive, etc.  Even do UDI missions underwater.  The only thing you will have lost is the ability to actaully expand your city underwater untill you reset the water level.  This could make for a cool MD if you wanted to make the City of Atlantis.

Here what happens following Jason tip  ;D

Maybe you guys can help me with that last one.  As you can see, the Country Club is missing a majority of its props...but not all of them.  There are trees on the right side of the course.  Also, across the street there are a line of Small Maxis Flower Gardens.  One of them is fully propped...the rest aren't.  This problem is persistent throughout the entire city, and it's mainly on Maxis lots.  Any ideas of what could be going on?  Why are only some of the props showing up, yet not others (even the same props on the same lots), even after the game has been running for long amounts of time with the graphics settings on high?

Interesting pics. Let's hear it for liquefaction and fleeing on ferries. I haven't seen that car ferry thing before, and does the earthquake make it a seaport now? Always some good stuff in here.

-Masochist: The only thing I can think of for your problem would be that the game is having issues drawing everything. Will they eventually draw if you just leave the game alone for a bit? If not, I'm not sure what is causing it... but then again I'm not the best troubleshooter for those types of issues.

I guess in that sense it made sense to repeat.  Its gone now though, but there is a number of those old brown box houses around here and there.

 &apls &apls Since I had a good twenty minutes of laughs here, I figured it is time for some serious environmental issues: For one, I've had these two llamas "nesting" happly on the track of a bridge that sees approx. 2,200 rail commuters - and they've been there for about two SC4 years now. I also found my copper chopper going where "no man has gone before"; but I think someone ought to fire the mayor's drivers in every city, because of the amount of gasoline they waste just driving around in front of the boss' barn (sorry, forgot   got the pic!) - just put a parking lot on either side of the street, or a roundabout - even with a street/road leading away to civic duties - and you can see it for yourself (no pic). Oh yeah, and the yellow acid rain clouds over the region: they've appeared since X-mas - thus I suspect some modder plugging this into the game on the side  :P
And also I posted this elsewhere, here it is for the benefit of all those BATters - there's money to be made in Belgium: already one company is selling empty BATs ("leer" means empty in Dutch) - sorry 'bout the sideway view - it was after the party..  ::)

Edit: If you photograph the driver in the act - close up - he'll change his tune and will drive off, nine out of ten times..

Weird is the understatement of the year. Perchance a problem I once had with a city, albeit very different, may offer a possible solution. Provided your region is based on an imported map - or at least a map you can copy, do what I did when I got locked out:
1) create a new region folder & copy the .BMP file as well as the region JPG into it.
2) open it with Terraformer.
3) when asked to preserve cities or mayors answer no to both
4) import the JPG and save the newly created map.
Now open the region with SC4 and instead of starting a new city in the same location as the above strangeness, try importing the above city from the other region. If - and that's a big if - it comes up ok, save it, then go back to the original region and now import the newly saved city - it will tell you that this will obliterate existing development. Might as well..

If this does not improve matters, then something's wrong with the underlying map - data does get corrupted on hard drives, no matter how careful you are.

Caveat Empor: BEFORE you attempt any of the above - do make a backup, will you - I cannot guarantee that it will work in your instance, even though it did with me.

I had this three times before, but not completely the same.

This is what happened exactly:
1) The city Kovelburg once had a strange blue tint.
2) The city Postdam once had a transparant picture of the city screen drawed over the region picture
3) In the city Konradedel I could look much deeper into the water

This was all gone when I saved the city again.

Oh, and if you are doing something else while saving the city, you get a blank tile (which looks like a new city tile).  :party:

They just make it easier to secure ones site from them.  I found 3 of my sites listed with them and deleted all three accounts on the three sites.  Now I'll be keeping an eye on them, the way I figure it, if people don't have the gumption to bother registering for an account, they don't get the privilige of downloading GB's of data from our websites.

The escape of animals from the zoo is based on funding, just like the jail/prison in the game. I guess Jeronij's doesn't have the correct properties regarding funding so they are escaping by default.

The funding is City Beautification which is always set at max - and it happens with the in-game zoo as well - and still the animals escape.

Speaking of escape, and the funding thing. Heres something I don't think makes sense, at 7 in the morning, originally when I first built the prison, the query showed 0 in mates at the time, but I would see the prisoners working on the RHW near by with a cop on a horse behind them, but eventually a number of prisoners would run off, and there would be really, really long foot chases, even though theres just opened fields surrounding the area for miles. This happens all the time, the numbers of in-mates has gone up since then, but still. I hear an alarm, which means escape, but I haven't been notified by public saftey about lack of funding the jail, and usually I get urgent warnings for lacks of public saftey.

Sounds like you have a "Texan Justice System": if workers are needed to clean up the highways ands byways, all the governor has to do is to alert the local sheriffs and - pronto - the number of arrests hits record numbers.  $%Grinno$%

Just how prevelant "Justice" is in SC4 cities maybe be illustrated by the first underground police helicopter:

That would be the Palace of Westminster's Clock Tower, commonly known as Big Ben (which is actually the common name for the bell inside, officially the Great Bell of Westminster.  It appears nothing is really called Big Ben) and often mistakenly known as St Stephens Tower, which is another of the Westminster Towers.

There are times when that is unavoidable, but it would have been better if they could of made up their minds of which side of the intersections to place the signals, because it lacks consistency.

Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: Swamper77 on June 17, 2008, 10:41:20 PM
In the first version, I just simply moved the stoplights to the far side like the AvenuexRoad T intersection has them for the far side of the T intersection.

The version seen here is the second version, in which I have replaced the stoplight on a pole in the avenue's median with a full mast assembly. Unfortunately, it requires the NAM for the single stoplight prop that is attached to the arm over the roadway. I haven't released the second version as only the orthogonal intersections are done. No diagonals have been done, but I don't normally build diagonal roadways anyways.

I will see about releasing the fix to move the stoplights across the intersection on AvenuexRoad + intersections, but it will be for orthogonals only.

Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: kassarc16 on June 17, 2008, 10:53:46 PM
I avoid diagonals too, since Maxis really skipped quality control on some of them. And I'm sure having the NAM as a requirement isn't a bad thing. I can't think of a reason NOT to have it installed.
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: Andreas on June 18, 2008, 01:09:16 AM
I'd say it could be even included directly into the NAM, since the doubled stoplights are not exactly a pretty sight anyway. ;)

Good fix. I just didn't like the inconsistency of who ever originally designed it, as Mrtnrln pointed out when you have two road avenue intersections next to each other. Swampper's way is just like how the one way avenue intersections are with the signals afterword. Otherwise, I have use a different mean to cross the avenue, in order to avoid the signals being right next to each other.
And now, we have two rival supply stores that managed to build right next to each other, not my choice.

j-dub, you asked me to explain my picture with the sims on the wall:

A number of Maxis parks generate sims, and these sims often wander in and out of the park. When one side of the park is a retaining wall (as in the picture) the wandering sims go up and down the wall as they wander in and out of the park.

In the same city there is another park on top of a steep cliff above the sea.  Some sims wander over the cliff and into the sea!

Follow the Yellow Arrow. I had made my own plane generator to go with the modular airport a while back, never released it. So I watched it the other day, to see how it works, and when I saw this, it looked like the plane landed in the avenue. It actually looked like it was doing that alot of places, so it was hard for me to capture it on a screen shot, since you can't pause the animation. On the top not so far from the avenue is the plane generator/runway. They will generate landing there too.

And heres another picture of someone in the Simworld runnin' a red light, this time on a diagonal avenue, even though there is a car turning up ahead. Notice the red light in this case is a Maxis one, but it works in sequence after the avenue, where as the other lights on the roads are screwed up due to Maxis not figuring out a different sequence for diagonals. Hmmmmm.

No, you do a quick save with pressing the [ALT] key while clicking on the "Save" button (or press the keys for saving). The game won't create a new region overview pic in this case, that's why it's a lot quicker than normal.

Kamusta Anthony :)

Space between spaces. See what I mean. Aliens are responsible for this lol.

I guess that goes the same with mrtnrln.

You know there is a scientific explanation for that. The magnet at the back of the train engine creates a strong magnetic field attracting the magnet on the car side. As to why the car is not connected to the train, another set of magnets this time repel each other with the same magnitude and it would seem that the train engine is pulling the cars without the contact we usually see. Thus, the system is in equilibrium state and the cars neither accelerates to stick nor decelerates to get left behind.

It's either that or it's God pulling strings trying to mess with us for the heck of it :-\. I'm not an atheist by the way :D.

So it's either aliens, giant magnets or God  :-\

Can anyone explain this strange shop front

Take a close look at the white shop at bottom right end of this commercial row.  Notice anything strange?  Compare with the shop at the lefthand end.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi484.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Frr201%2FSapphireBlue_J%2FMelsinki-strange-shop.jpg&hash=24b2dd38160d83e6da1f5ae88b4cd794f887d7e2)

Here is a close up.  It is so High class that the shop front seems to have gone up a few floors

Why?  I know the shop is on a hill but this is ridiculous, I have not noticed any other instances of the same building with this problem the rest of them seem to be 'normal'.  Very odd!

Look at the one second from the left: Identical. It's not a problem because you can tell that on the left side there is a door - the windows aren't floor-to-ceiling.
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: Sapphire Blue on September 23, 2008, 04:39:58 PM
Hi Nerdly
I think you need to look at the pictures again.  The shop second from the left is not identical, it is the same building yes, but only without the front detail.  Unlike the shop on the right hand end, if you look at the top floor you can see the shop doorway and windows that should be at street level.  These doorway and window details are in the proper place on the shop at the extreme left hand end.

Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: nerdly_dood on September 23, 2008, 04:57:15 PM
I've looked very closely and I can see no difference whatsoever between the two shops except that the one on the right has billboards at the top and the one 2nd from the left has street-level shops on one side.

I don't really think the windows are supposed to be at street level. It seems to me that there is a short wall between the windows and the ground such as might be used as a shelf to display merchandise for sale to passerby in an attempt to entice them to buy whatever it is that the store sells.
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: Sapphire Blue on September 23, 2008, 05:02:38 PM
Hi Nerdly,
I am sorry but I don't agree with your analysis of the differences, but I have the benefit of being able to see the other shops much closer up in game so I will get a better, closer photo of the two shops on the left hand end and you will then be able to see what I mean.  I will be back shortly.

Hi again Nerdly
This first image is of the two shops on the left hand end.  The one on the left has all its coloured bits in the right place windows and door at street level, billboard at roof level.....

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi484.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Frr201%2FSapphireBlue_J%2Fcorrect-front-shop-on-left.jpg&hash=d0e5d19c47bd4c6e91225e60ed30abb2c20841af)

Then you look at the shop at the right hand end and it has the same coloured bits (I have circled them to make it clearer which bits I mean) but they are at roof level where the billboard is on the other shop.

Doors/Windows up in the air, thats perfectly normal. Why? -because in the summer this movie theatre I used to go to before the ecconomy got bad, they would take the front doors and windows, and elevate them all the way up, on a track, it does seem strange when you see this for real at first. By the way, I have had some riddiculous things happen with buildings/lots overreacting to elevational changes when trying to fix a road.

Hi J-dub, yeah I know what you mean.  I have had strange things like that too, hedges and trees and even swimming pools hanging in the air but that was because I had changed the ground level around the building.  I did not do anything to this commercial street, the shop just appeared like this.  I find it hard to understand how something like this could happen.  The code for the building must be corrupted somehow, but why are other instances of the building not showing the same oddity?

For this game, I didn't think the bulldozer driving around was considered an oddity. Getting the bull dozer to drive like automatta may be possible, because you know during road construction, how the grader drives around, only when the road is getting paved? Well now, it drives like regular automatta along with other cars, in all my cities instead of doing its ice skating during the construction, 24/7, road work or not.

The reason the Road Grader is driving around your cities is that you have one of my Additional Vehicles packs from the STEX. With one of the packs, I made the Road Grader and the Dump Truck driveable vehicles for the MySim Car Catalog.

I had similar fun when I ran GLR through one of my industrial parks. The industries alongside the GLR sent out freight trains on the GLR tracks. The congestion map showed blood red on the GLR sections where the freight trains were traveling.

And, yes, there are rail paths on the GLR/Elevated rail if you are using the NAM. They are in there for UDI functionality.

Yes it is the new GLR-in-road, only 2 type of pieces exist for cars to be driving on the tracks.

The whole idea of heavy rails sharing the middle of car traffic is nothing new, below is proof.
Here, is a video of a freight train moving down a road in the middle of a Californian town. Because the thought alone is dangerous, the reality of it, is becoming less, but thats America for you.

You know everyone, there is a way to avoid those double traffic lights, but it takes longer. The road on the left can stay while it is possible to have a street come to the right of the avenue after the road, so the double traffic lights don't occur, this is done by left over puzzle pieces. It sounds complicated, but I don't ever recall double lights after I figured out how to do it.

Although, I never quite figured out why traffic lights were used for the glr crossing, when there could be some other type of signal exemplared instead, but that probably wasn't made before the first glr in ave was developed.

The game's Traffic Simulator needs to be modified to allow trains to use the GLR/Elevated Rail tracks. The GLR/Elevated Rail tracks do have rail paths on them via the NAM for Elevated Rail Train UDI, which is only possible with the NAM installed. However, the GLR/Elevated Rail tracks may appear "congested" (Red) when freight and passenger trains are using them, as the Traffic Simulator is not setup to normally allow that.

That was a RAM team proposed modification to a Maxis bridge. The avenue caused the bridge in pieces. However, the bridge does not seem to like going over the water so far, and drops as soon as it touches it. However you saw another bridge I had in that city dropped into the water as well. Occasionally puzzle pieces either disappear or revert back to their existing network when your trying to do something else that causes interference. You may have noticed when your building RHW that sometimes stuff gets knocked out of place when something else gets demolished.

In california, there actually is a train in the road like this.
Yes, that's true-I've seen and have driven on that road before in fact while on vacation.  It's in Anaheim, California.

I had recently completed a rail bridge that was difficult to make due to slopes. I had used a lot of slope puzzle pieces to make it work, to I plopped a train generator to make sure the paths were correct. The train was fine, until about halfway over the bridge, and two cars suddenly dissapeared.

You can see a slight outline, which I highlighted...

My glitch is... erm, unusual... floating avenue medians. It adds a new dimension to the phrase "sunken highways."

This was seen in a ZONES view in SC4RH  There appears to be some "hidden prop" that exists in a "abandoned" state inside the WTC building 

If you turn off "zone view" it looks perfectly normal

Well, these oddities are not SC4 oddities, but still these are game oddities. From Need For Speed Underground 2, to be exact. This game also has quite a lot things that are wrong, or making no sense...

The road markings are making no sense (yellow lines in the medians are OK, but yellow lines on the edges?)
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg190.imageshack.us%2Fimg190%2F4831%2Fnfsu03.jpg&hash=968afd4b9a3c6d3fefc1a07f7142526bede37a31)

Open medians? In the middle of an Interstate Highway?

You are allowed to take this exit, although the road markings shows something else.

The sign sais two lanes on the left to Beacon Hill, but I definitly see three.

The sign I-27 South doesn't lead to the I-27 at all.

60 mph/96 km/h looks like quite a high maximum speed for this two-lane city road.

Mrtnrln, SC4, or not, the NFS series, is still an EA game. You know how that goes. In the beta NFSU1 the traffic lights were originally not stuck on yellow, the red and green worked. However running red lights in racing games can cost you, I have gotten broadsided blowing reds, try it in SC4, see what happens. Boom!

In the beta NFSU2, the reason why the signs are odd, they did not originally have those weird icon markings on them, they only had the signs tell you in bolder fonts and colors where you were going, and those signs in my opinion did not look like road signs at all. I think they changed it to Americanize it. I don't know when you took those pics, but you have got a lot of racing to go compared to that amount of $. There is a way out of the city, its called the airport. Thats how people leave, they just fly out. There was a 1 time glitch on my GameCube that I got to drive around freely on the airport runways only because someone crashed me over the jersey barrier, and the planes would go right through my Nissan 240 when they would land. Now that's odd. What kills me is they have that one stretch of highway with that one road closed for construction in NFSU2 you cannot freely drive on, its also not marked on the map. I have driven under there in a race, and it stinks its never opened to traffic, because it was a nice cut through.

Look out below, I got two oddities. First, when I took a picture of the city, the snapshot instructions got stuck!

Second, lets advertise cigarettes (Marlboro) in whats suppose to be a kids game! (when this happened in a SEGA game back in the early nineties, it sparked controversy when that game released in American shelves, maybe those Japanese developers didn't know at the time, this was before there was ESRB)

What about the street sign that says "Keep Right" that is facing opposite the direction of traffic flow on the one way street?  That seems kinda odd too....
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: j-dub on September 07, 2009, 08:35:06 PM
Because its a last minute resort to not get them to go the wrong way. In real life, I'm stuck seeing cars, majority trucks coming down the wrong side of the median on these 4 laners so many times! Some times they are sober, and there is a lack of signage of the road to inform your going on the wrong side, even though you should be able to see the median. Other times, they are either drunk or high, that they oppose traffic. They seem to have given up on the keep right symbol signs where I'm at through any of these cities.

Of course if Mrtnrln did not make examples of driving that way in Need for Speed Underground 2 on the wrong side of I-27, then... Oh!!! Haha! Just messing with you Maarten.

Sadly though, it really just is not funny because there was someone who got killed going down the wrong side of the interstate not to recently in my state.

Some times ago a brown bear wandered from Slowenia through the Alps to South Germany. In Germany bears have disappeared eons ago as it is way to dense populated. So a big hunt began, the newspaper called the bear "Bruno" and as allways on such happenings Bruno had the tendency to appear on at least five locations.  :D

Eventually they shot him ...  &mmm

Hi @ll!

Its not realy a game odditie, but I ask my question here:

I have a question about these two canal-Sets:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg15.imageshack.us%2Fimg15%2F6134%2Fkanle5.th.jpg&hash=515a185eaa7e9bce575909f48ffd1283bfb837c5) (http://img15.imageshack.us/i/kanle5.jpg/)

Is there a connection-part for these two canal-sets avaliable? It would be beautiful, if I could connect these two canal-sets
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: FrankU on December 28, 2009, 05:14:41 AM
That would indeed be great, but one canal system (the green one) is by Jeronij and the other one by Oppie. Jeronij is still active, but as far as I know Oppie isn't, so I fear that it won't be possible to make this part. The best you can do is make a bridge as a transit piece.

This isn't an oddity as much as something I didn't know existed. To save money, I lowered water funding. As a result, I got a new type of emergency-pipe burst. To fix it, you have to go into pipe mode and re-draw the pipe. I just thought this was something funny that I've never encountered before.

I recently learned of it too.  I figured that since the power lines spark when you lower the funding, but nothing ever happens, why should the water be any different.  I was wrong.  It's an entertaining disaster for sure.

They all park their car at a small parking lot at the station and walk home.
The story is even stranger; in the morning they take their cars FROM HOME  ??? and go to work! That's weird.

I dont have any pictures, but in one of my cities people drive 3-4 tiles to the elevated rail, ride it 10 or so tiles to the next station, get off and drive 2 tiles to a parking lot, walk across the parking lot, then drive 2 tiles to work. they do the opposite to get home.

OK well after the earlier strange incident (see a few posts above) this week, I've had another one, starting to think something may be up. This one involves the most peculiar variety of plant I've ever come across.

I say plant because it's clearly something to do with the tree controller, they only "grow" at a certain height.

Back when I played SimCity a lot, I never messed with any funding at all, except with micromanaging schools and hospitals that didn't need extra funding. I did, once, play around with water pipe funding, and I experienced the break that you saw - but in my case, it was in an urban area, and what a water-pipe break does in SimCity is it creates a little pit in the ground. We all (or most of us) know that whenever terrain is raised or lowered, whatever's on it is destroyed, and that's what happened: One of the main avenues was partially destroyed, as was a small section of my pathetic little CBD.

That train crossing (I guess your talking about the yellow lines starting half way through?) was actaully fixed in the NAM and then someone put the maxis texture into another file which loads after the fix. So actually it's more like a NAM glitch :)

It seemed to me that the problem was more of both crossing gates on the same side of the road.

well that's not easy to fix in game, it requires an offset prop.

Many players want to build realistic cities. No problem with this. Some of them however believe that Simcity 4 is not a game, but a rocket-science level reality simulator and any "mistake" is unacceptable, especially futuristic-unrealistic style of gaming. Fortunately the game itself is still too funky, no matter the "realistic" mods and buildings. Here is an example.

This Sim parked his/her car in a small parking place, enjoyed a small walk to the park and home, sweet home.

The next day, Sim takes his/her car from just outside the house to go to the work.

No pics, but..

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

(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

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

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

Spidercar . . . spidercar . . . does whatever a spidercar does . . .

That's the one side-effect of the Neighbor Connectors that I wasn't able to eliminate.  It's a vast improvement over the "Nicole Richie Effect" that resulted from the loop connectors, though.  The other alternative I tried involved moving those downpaths in farther . . . that, however, led to "car-eating highways".

Well as long as they do what they're supposed to, that's all right with me :) One question though, on my game, in order to have the arrows in the right direction and the yellow line on the inside on the connector pieces, it's always the "OUT" piece, the "IN" pieces never fit right (like they're for LHD or something...). I'm just wondering why? Is something wrong on my part, or is it just supposed to be like that? Maybe I should read the readme first, oh well, I already typed this :P

IDK what's causing it, but every piece of automata drives over 200 mph (5x +  highway speed in-game) on any piece of road! From streets to RHW, tram-in/on-road to tram in ave, all cars, buses, and trams drive super fast. Pain in the butt for doing UDI missions.

something i found recently while i was trying to building a new highway in a developed city. when viewing zones in data view this is what comes up.

some buildings and props are still showing and it happens in all of my cities. yes, it is odd, but is it a problem? perhaps something to do with prop pox? anybody have any ideas or input?

ive also noticed that while playing the game, 1 or 2 buildings have lost their base textures in some cities.

@ jmdude1 : are the buildings plopped? If they were, they would show up on the zoning data view. Also, about the texture issue, I have had that with some of my buildings and they were downloaded ones. I checked the dependencies again, and saw that I was missing a texture pack. The only advice I would have is to check the dependency list.

I think z's Dataview Mod changes the zone dataview so that it displays props too. Most likely, those towers are made using an invisible building with the actual BAT as prop on it.

Wow! That is strange, though I don't think it's a graphics issue because some of the buildings work fine (the ones from your plugins folder) and I think I know what the problem is. It looks like you're missing some files from your SimCity 4 install folder.

that would make sense, but seriously have no idea what caused them to take up walking on water as a hobby, they are standing in front of one of the seaports (from x-port install), perhaps they were meant to be on the jetty?

One more thing: Did you plant that birdie there?

Uhh,... I'm thinking the train jumped from one set of tracks to another...? iThink that's common with train stations that have more than one rail going through it, but... The train hopping, if you look closely, seems to occur OUTSIDE of the lot itself... Plus the rail itself ended at a dead end...

Plus, I don't think SimMars has a complete set of network textures, judging from the rail-street intersection... iWouldn't call that an oddity, just a "hole" in the set of textures...

What about this: 9 freight trucks taking the longest possible route to get to the neighbour next door - including a scenic tour around the city before leaving, and running the risk of getting stuck in a gridlock in the business district:

Oh yea, they are built properly. I checked and normal traffic is passing through it without any hiccups:

Meanwhile, freight trucks are using the freight station next to the FLUP, and are converted to freight railway traffic. There's no need for freight trucks to use the FLUP in this scenario since the station is accessible from both sides of the FLUP:

Sadly, it is a FLUP :/ It worked just fine for other traffic though - or maybe because FLUP doesn't allow freight traffic to pass? I'm not sure about that. More importantly, nearby industrial buildings are using the neighbour connection around 5 tiles away - which is what I would expect the same lot to do so"

metasmurf: that happens to me all the time. I don't understand why the game has so many trucks driving around in agriculture zoned areas. It's very unrealistic and completely messes you up in UDI missions because you hit one of those trucks with a little car and BAM! You blow up.

Well... Me? ;D Yes, I actually don't like pizza. I know what you're all thinking: "Oh, Nego! You're such a horrible person! How can you not like pizza?" Just kidding. I know you wouldn't say that.

As for the old Railyard Textures, may I ask for more information? I think (hope) this is causing the problem (so I can stop it from happening again easily). Thanks!

If you have Rail Yard and Spur Textures Mega Pack 1 (STEX link: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15976 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15976) ), or some even older sets that were combined into the Mega Pack in your Plug-ins, it may cause a graphical glitch. The textures shown look like those used in those texture packages.

Rail Yard and Spur Mega Pak 1 version 2 (STEX link: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=22325 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=22325) LEX link: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2177 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2177) )

...has this explanation:
Quote**VERSION 1.02 NOTES:

These are the very same textures that were released back in 2006, with ONE exception: They have a different TGI number. The reason for this re-release is that the original TGI numbers used "0" as a wealth indicator which may or may not cause a problem when the Lot using the original textures became abandoned, the rail textures on the Lot then became "randomized",...sometimes,...not a big problem if the Lot was a Rail Station, but on Industrial Lots that are 'plopped' it would cause some visual discrepancies,...no game crashes, just the Lot looked odd after abandonment,...solution then was to re-plop the Industrial Lot.

In VERSION 1.02, the wealth indicator was given the value "4" which would prevent this randomization effect. You can still use both packages as my older Industrial creations have not been updated yet with this package. Over time and Real Life permitting, Mega-Pak version 1.00 will be phased out.

I sincerely apologize if you have any of the Lots based on the earlier texture package, as I have not had the time (RL permitting) to re-texture the older Lots. I know it is a simple procedure with the LE, but re-uploading newer versions to the STEX through a 56k connection is not so easy.

As for the Pizza, I guess you won't be coming to my Pizza party?

I spent a long time evening out the land, the seawalls were there long before the street. The street construction insisted on raising surrounding land, and thus the destruction. I actually had to redo the whole area several times, it was great until that last little bit at the North end.

Some TuLEP pieces are getting LHD T21s thanks to Jondor, but not many.

The problem is that all the devs play RHD and see little reason to convert anything more than paths and textures to LHD.

I would have thought that since there is a majority of NAM users that don't actually live in a RHD enviroment that there would have been more LHD inspired T21's as well as other pieces.

Well what did you have in mind? Like roadsigns or something? There were Euro signs designed for the SPM, but that project kind of is on the backburner. Otherwise, Mrtnrln has done multiple international lights, and T21 modding, as have others. Does anyone remember that European mod that uses the red and white triangle signs with the black icon in the middle?
Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: jdenm8 on February 20, 2011, 09:20:56 PM
Well, I've always repeatedly griped over traffic lights and boomgates being on the wrong sides. Ebina's T21 update pack (the one linked to in J-Dub's signature) is hopelessly out of date too and Plunderer's Rail Catenary mod overrides the corrected boomgates in nearly every instance.

I'm also talking general LHT (Drive on the left, like Japan, Australia and the UK), the normal stuff, but on the other side. MRTNRLN's international lights also don't work in LHT, just like Heblem's HD lights (They're on the wrong side, big help that is).

I'm also not looking for European signs. They're too European.

You know, you could always use Virtual Box (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). It's like Bootcamp, but you don't have to restart to switch back and forth between Mac and Windows. I personally use it myself and I love it. I'd definitely recommend checking it out. ;)

Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: Andreas on March 01, 2011, 03:11:55 PM
I have a WinXP VM on my Win7 system, which is using a 10 GB virtual HD and 1 GB of RAM, and it runs very well. I figure even 512 MB RAM would be fine, in case you're short of RAM on your Mac. Not sure if this is the same on VirtualBox for Mac, but I think the actual size of the virtual HD image isn't larger than the content that's installed on it, so it might be even smaller if you don't use the full 10 GB (but 10 GB should be more than enough for the OS and some programs).

Post by: Andreas on March 02, 2011, 04:40:38 AM
Oh, I think I misread the original question, sorry. I was under the impression that dahemac wanted to use some modding tools inside the virtual machine (rather than using Bootcamp), and not the game itself - must have mixed this up with the thread about the station capacity bug. I haven't tried running SC4 inside a virtual machine so far, but rather use it for some tools that won't work with Win7.

I've run SimCity natively on a Mac, PC, and virtual PC and found that running SC$ natively on a PC gave the best quality results while running SC4 on a virtual PC gave the lowest quality. With speed, though, it was the complete opposite with running SC4 on a virtual PC being the fastest while running it natively on a PC was about the same as running it natively on a Mac, which was slightly slower than on the virtual PC. Note: All PC tests were done using Windows XP SP3 and all Mac tests were done using Mac OS 10.6.6.

Specs i'm using on my Virtual PC:

I take that back. The quality was just fine. It was the same as it was while playing SimCity on my Mac. For some reason, my VM was nice to me today. :D No, but I actually recommend that you play SimCity 4 on a Virtual Machine on your Mac. It's super fast. It took me 10 seconds to load the game (with the intro off), 6 seconds to load a city (with plenty of development), and less than a second to quit (without saving). And that's with 7 windows open in Safari, containing a total of 43 tabs. I was not buffering or streaming anything, though. That has a very strong adverse affect on the speed. So overall, I definitely recommend that you play SimCity 4 on a Virtual Machine on your Mac. :thumbsup:

It only happens occasionally. If I change zooms and change back it often goes away. If I move to a different part of the city and move back it often goes away. I feel certain it is a conflict. It was happening more before I sorted out a pile of superseded dependencies.

Playing SimCity via VNC means a slightly awkward refresh rate.

This appeared while saving the city (note the alternation of layers). I think it's SC4 refreshing the region thumbnail actually.

In Austin on Knoxville Avenue, an infamous crime occurred one morning.

Two rival gangs, looking to keep the fighting off the streets, took to identical towers (Coit Towers are a problem in my city) on each side of the wide avenue and fired at each other from atop.

Today, that area is known as the Knoxville Exchange, and its presence marks the start of the Sanriku/Knoxville commercial district (from the south):

Title: Re: Show us your games oddities
Post by: jmyers2043 on March 16, 2011, 02:56:38 PM
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

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.

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.

With custom airports, you still need some sort of airport piece itself to act as the place the sims will travel to. The pieces of the custom airport just make up the airport land area, if that makes any sense.

I have a workaround for the functional airport deal:
1: Build your custom airport.
2: Make sure advisers WANT an airport.
3: Open the small landing strip in the Lot Editor.
4: Delete the whole thing and then just add a 1x1 lot with regular texture.
5: Hit save, NOT SAVE AS.
6: When you plop the landing strip in-game, it will be your 1x1 lot (in theory) and will have the same economic boost, etc.
7: Hopefully this will shut your advisers up.

Plopping this was a mistake. There is no way to get it to move. I have tried dragging every transportation network over it, in every direction. I zoned land on it and dezoned, tried plopping buildings, but nothing. It says it is a reversed tile. Raising the terrain results in this:

Post by: j-dub on June 22, 2011, 01:57:11 PM
Well, IDK if those are suppose to be dumpsters, but in terms of scale, if the recycling center was there instead, you see how those WM's are taller then that garage door on the building. Sometimes though, when something is missing, I noticed the game does not always use brown boxes, it puts a building there instead. Sadly some lots are non destructible. I have had issues with Maxis stuff like the grand central train station turning indestructible, and you can no longer even drag the network through. This is why I play without auto reconcile on, because reconcile can over react and seriously mess stuff up. There was a download marketed on the STEX as the lot that destroys non destructible buildings. You can try that, but I don't know if it really works. In this case, your dealing with a transit enabled ground-alterer.

  This is connected to the auto-complete of NAM.  The FARR intersection is 2x2 (right?), but it only takes 3 tiles to make it auto-complete.  When the auto-complete happens, that extra 1 tile is in danger of making a reluctant lot.   TE'ed lots are especially prone, as they can help make the auto-complete happen in the first place.  This thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=11220.0) goes a little bit further into it.  I know that I was eventually able to get all of that station's connections working without making an auto-complete.  Perhaps you can have luck with the roundabouts. Think of it as a mini-game :)

It hasnt gone as planned (it no longer appears in the el-rail menu.. but it doesnt appear in the rail menu either...). So I was curious, and deleted everything in the bridge controller for the rail RUL... and left two bridges... the cable stay bridge, and something called small arch bridge. Well... I went to build a cantilever bridge... and this is result:

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.

These days though, people don't only grafitti tag during their teens. Just because there is a curfew even for adults, does not mean it won't get protested, like the wall street thing going on now. You guys have not seen secrets until you have seen NYC's underground. New York City still has a bunch of people living underground for decades. Furniture and household items have been brought underneath, and there are some beautiful ancient areas forgotten down there, that the public will never see. I saw a documentary on YouTube about some dudes that went to explore it. And if you want an oddity for real life, it turns out there is serious rotting wood and crumbling rock foundations that are in very poor condition holding some of the city roads up.

I was responding in the terms of the game  :)

But yes I know about the crumbling infrastructure.  There was a series on either History Channel or Discovery about it, and when they showed Seattle, it scared the crap out of me when they showed how many of the buildings in downtown are being supported by concrete that you can flake off big chunks of with your bare hands due to the salt air and lack of maintenance

Where I live, when they put in I-94 through my area in the 1950's with the interstate highway act, there was a house that the owner refused to sell, so they had an cloverleaf ramp built right on two of his property lines and the old man lived there until he died in 1995.  For 40+ yrs, his property was nothing but a patch of grass, a small bush(the state would not allow him a tree as it would block the views) , and his back yard and side yard were basically 2 small strips of grass with a chain link fence next to a concrete off ramp.

The house was finally torn down when he died and his family sold the property to a fireworks business, which also purchases adjoining property to build a fireworks store.

First, is it logical to expand where there's a 60-foot drop right next to the highway?

Second, that's just a funny instance of RUL-1 at work.

Has anyone noticed a LAG now when zones are applied on maps.  Not that the game otherwise operates normally, but is frustrating to be dragging a network then suddenly it skips a beat and one ends up placing a zot where the skip occurred and the mouse is.  Hard to explain and again does frustrate me.  Makes me believe that maybe I have reached the limit for a Region.

No kidding here... I was able to plop two mayor's houses separately in my "organic growth" city (the way SC4 was initially meant to be played) without using mods, cheats, or extra buildings. The dual mayor houses were obtained via a glitch, which happened as follows:

I initially received a news report in the ticker about my reward, and I thought that the emergency news box would not appear after some time. I then hastily dove into the rewards section, plopped my first mayor's house, and-- the newsflash appeared with the message about my reward and the options to accept or deny the prize. Accepting the second mayors' house, I was able to plop that down in tandem with the original. I believe there is only one limousine, and it functions normally. You could use the trick in case you would like to reap extra benefits, if you can.

Ha, yes. Sorry for you, but this is a very old way of plopping every reward twice. It is so old and not really neccessary anymore, now that we have the Extra Cheats.dll that probably most of us don't know about it anymore. But being an old man I still remember it from the first years of gameplay.

Eh, sure. This, however was a surprise to me anyway that I did not expect. I'm playing this city legit, without any sort of cheats, so I would accept that good old trick. It's nice to know it, anyway - it's a little puzzle of timing, reaction, and benefits.

In fact there's another way of almost infinitely duplicating rewards, using a game glitch without any "real" cheats. Of course you have to meet the reward's requirements first, but then select it from the menu and keep pressed the right mouse button. The reward won't vanish from the cursor as long as you repeat keeping the right mouse button pressed while plopping.

Quite helpful since I also accidentally demolished/stripped a graveyard of everything except the center piece (FlexTrans/Draggable Viaduct piece?). Unrelated, but that also happened to a row of commercial buildings which were also affected by RHW piece misplacement until I rezoned and demolished the glitched buildings. Sorry for sounding a bit inexperienced here anyway, I've only sporadically played the game since 2012 until now and... I just don't know it anyway. I might post that here if anyone wants, anyhow.

@Haljackey: I actually like the aged shade of the roads better like that, instead of the pitch black I associate with new pavement. Too much work for all that to be retextured though.

@SimCity V6, I had something odd happen with the mayor's house myself. I made the mistake of assuming the mayor's house lot remains at 2 x 3, only for a later play thru, I find out somehow the property was expanded, exceeding the lot size, with textures and props going over into other lots and the adjacent roads. All I know is, I certainly didn't Lot Edit it that detailed. Whoever did, somehow added at least one animal in, a giant hedge maze, and the most notable difference is there is one more if not two other UDI vehicles that spawn next to the mayor's house. One is a stretch Hummer based limo, and the other is a Chopper bike. Obviously a certain someone else who I won't mention had downloaded those from who knows where, but I don't get how they modified the game that all those UDI limo based menu rides are in there all at once without crashing. Point, it's completely the opposite where you say only one limo spawns by your two mayoral houses. I'm reaping three types of drive-by's around that house.

Yes, about Haljackey's glitch. It also really reminds me of some beta SC4 roads which Ocean Quigley once shared (http://oceanquigley.blogspot.com/2009/04/simcity-4.html, last image). If only SimCity 4 could ever support tons of varying textures as in real life.  /wrrd%&

I don't really understand your instance of 3x4 mayor's houses. Something also odd that happened on my end, however was that with some sort of mod, my Mayor's House population requirement skyrocketed to about 3,000 sims instead of the usual 500. Oh, and speaking of the mayor's limo, I was just talking about the UDI menu. Oh well, at least that must be a strange sight in-game. I also downloaded another Seaside Villa Mayor's house, however I have not used it thus far.

It's not outrightly impossible, just humongously tedious to do. The same method Rivit and MGB used to create the automated sidewalks and the upcoming customisable RRW could be used to replace the road textures. The only big problem is that, while sidewalks and sleepers are small bits of the tile surface (small enough for its texture repetition to be noticeable) asphalt and concrete cover most of their tiles, and are heavily patterned on the road shape (think on the  wheel marks that darken the lanes on the roads). Maybe using two textures, one for the base and another as a shader, and drawing the shade as a diffuminated dot pattern, this could be done, but it would imply a truly enormous work, to be done almost entirely by hand. On the other hand, once done, it would be really easy to create almost any imaginable combination of textures.

I always have this issue. One of the pathfinder experts on the NAM team may chime in... however I believe its just because the game is taking its time finding the best route to the nearest jobs avail. I typically have to let it run on max speed and takes anywhere from 6 game months to 1 game year, although I have seen extreme cases take a couple game years. I also have a fairly powerful quad core (6820hk @ 4.1ghz) so running max speed is quite fast for me.

Yikes what a drop!

Unfortunately there is not much that can be done to mitigate that behavior. I have resorted to only Orthogonal or Diagonal crossings only when two rails intersect and cross without a turnout. Bit annoying but there is not much you can do about that behavior.

It is all due to the fact that if the exit points are the same it mucks up the traffic simulator and the pathing. It thinks you are changing track and takes the shortest route.

AFAIK the only path type that doesn't do that is car paths, those require both an entrance and exit, whereas everything else just requires an exit. I wonder, if you put two exits coming from different sides at opposite ends of the same exit side would it still do that?

I noticed that too. From what I'm able to tell, it's a bug specifically with the rail network, and it's to do with the code that's designed to fill in autostreet gaps when you drag a zone across a rail. I think it's supposed to be an anti frustration feature (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AntiFrustrationFeatures) for the casual market, who might get confused if they drag a zone across rail and half of it doesn't develop, but for some reason it looks like tries to connect streets and dirt roads to any network directly across... Which begs the question of if there are any railside roads in California at all... Maybe we should call for SimMaster's help again...

brick_mortimer, I just quickly tried to reproduce it, but without success. I've built the setup with the rail, street (SAM11), road and RHW and then crossed that with a street, in all 4 orientations.

I'm sorry, Wiimeiser, I'm afraid I don't fully understand you. You mean, It might have something to do with the streets that are automatically build when you zone a bigger area? I'm nut sure about it in this case, since I can't see any zones in the picture of brick_mortimer, but you said you've encountered something similar?

@brick_mortimer

The issue is auto-connect. Since it is the street you can use to zoning tool along the Railway to remove the extra crossings.

Just my 2 cents

Mr. Mortimer! Some education may help. Clearly seen on the roundabout on the left side and how they placed lamppost on this roundabout.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.gograph.com%2Fthumbs%2FCSP%2FCSP992%2Fk13037454.jpg&hash=77d644d48c27ea18e076c3f00050517a145adc7a) Imho your roadmen simply are unschooled morons.

@Seaman
Try dragging a large zone across a rail and seeing how the autoconnect builds a crossing.

Well it isn't a roundabout but a MRC in the road that "exposed" itself after my roadcrew went in overdrive.
Yes, my roadmen are indeed morons  :D

For those that wish to recreate this: the street going under the flexfly was already in place before I tried to connect it to the SAM street next to the RRW.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter: the street crossing the RRW isn't essential and I'm able to reach the area behind the RHW from somewere else.
I was just happy I had something for "game oddities"  $%Grinno$%

What a crash  ???

(https://www.imgbox.de/users/Ralfger/Crash.jpg)

Changing an extendet lot leads to strange results. First only the original setting showed up and after several in-game months I end up with both the new setting and the cleared one simultaneously. The blue car, hindmost lamppost and the green Mercedes in the front parking lot are deleded at least in LE...

Climate change - rethinking industry
Maintenance areas of factories used to be like tarmac deserts - like this one:

But facing the fact of climate change, the CEO of Cajun Sausage Factory was duped overnight to contribute a small part to the big picture of a more sustainable industry:

First time I had a small overcrowd clinic. Second time I had a bigger hospital only 70% full. Now I have an even bigger one only 20%. And she still complains! Is this a bug?

Go to Data Views — Health and check that no other lots are highlighted. Sometimes other lots, like fruit markets have health effects and you may have to adjust those too.

...Are these skyscrapers, hovels and factories on those farm lots Maxis lots? They disappeared when I reloaded the city after installing everything except the NAM. But if they are Maxis buildings being farm fields, then we have a major code red bug somewhere in my plugins, a Capitol Grill, or perhaps a MISSINGNO., to give some ideas...
