Overwatch cleaning up massive amounts of vehicles

Post by ShanEnri » February 21st, 2017, 7:28 pm

Hi, sorry I've never posted to this before so if I'm doing it in the wrong place...Anyway I'm playing Seasons in Sunset Valley. I have overwatch, Mastercontroller, MC cheats, Saver, Mover and Woohooer mods from NRAAS as well as the nomosaic mod, a skin mod, an eye mod, and a couple of others for the CAS. I noticed at 3 a.m. when OW does it's thing it removed over 19,000 vehicles, and the next night it was over 9,000. Is it supposed to be that high? Is there something I should do?

Hi there, and welcome to NRaas. You're in the right place.

And yes, this just happens. The unwanted tens of thousands of vehicles are often from a couple of different sources. One is Snack and Ice Cream trucks if you have the EPs that provide those that get stuck in a loop of creation behind the scenes that we can't see. Another is something similar that happens with limousines that are issued to Showtime performers, if you have Showtime. Adding to the mess are the free cheap cars that the game issues to inactive sims who need to get around but either don't have one of their own or it's not available to them, which then get abandoned (not usually 9,000 at once of that kind though).

One more mod will stop this from happening in the first place, that's Traffic. On default settings it will control those vehicles better and force inactives who have no cars to take taxis. There is an option in its settings on City Hall to disable the performance limos as well. If that doesn't prevent the overspawnage, there is another mod we can recommend that takes care of the other kinds of limos in the game as well and it works fine together with Traffic.

I don't see more than usually 4 or 5 vehicles cleaned up nightly now since using these mods.

Thanks igazor, I'll try it too. I do not have Showtime and no other EP or SP's are active (other than Seasons). I'll give Traffic a go though! Thanks again!!!
