The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Terrain bleeding

Post by littlelambsy » October 15th, 2018, 2:09 am

I've set up Riverview as my homeworld, but notice when I zoom down to some lots, the grass bleeds across roads. It doesn't look very good and wondered if this is normal for this world, will it cause any problems and is there a way to fix it?

Are you using the fixed world's from MTS? This is a known side effect, particularly on using them with ongoing games and not new saves. It's ugly but harmless.

<p>Thanks Chain, I&#39;m not using the fixed one from MTS but I am using Kaleekalo&#39;s remake of Riverview, which is not an installed world, just a save file with all her tweeks of the actual world.&nbsp; Good to know its harmless, I can live with the ugly :)</p>

<p>(I hate all this code that sometimes gets added to posts, sorry)</p>

This also happens when you delete some lots a good example is in Sunset Valley if you bulldoze the lot City Hall sits on then delete the empty lot that can happen there's 1 or 2 others in SV that also do that.

Thanks sittingbear, I did delete all the houses and buildings but not the actual lots. I also placed lots were there were none.

While not as common actually pretty rare that can sometimes do it too.

Good to know. I often place lots where there wasn't any before :)

Let's also remember there are some EA worlds where houses have garages that are in no way connected to the street. I think Twinbrook has at least a couple of those. My sense is that if we can forgive that kind of awful lot planning (and it only looks bad, the cars can still get in and out), we can forgive almost anything.

I wonder what is causing the occasional html code infestation of forum board posts. I only ever saw this myself on PMs but thankfully that has been fixed.

I've seen some of these houses, and they don't bother me. I'm sure I can live with the bleeding affect.

With the code showing up, I notice it only happens when I add a link, then the whole post goes south with code. Even if I delete the post, close down chatterbox and revisit, type my reply/post, the code comes back.  I noticed it also in a pm both recieved and sent. I hope it gets fixed soon, although it's frustrating, I know Chain and the others have their hands full with more important things.  I'm patient :)

Littlelambsy, are you clicking directly into your messages to edit them or are you using the Edit Post button, the one that looks like a pencil?
