Hello, I'm currently playing in Isla Pardiso. While my sims are in sleep, overwatch alerted this message at 3 am. I know overwatch cleans the town at 3am everyday but the vehicle amounts are huge. What kind of vehicles does overwatch remove in game? It's unbelievably too much.

sorry I forgot to give a screenshot link. Here you go.

Hey Rubysim! That is quite a lot. I know I read somewhere before that the number of cars is influenced by a couple of things. First, if you have a lot of parking spaces in your game (eg. maybe you have a community lot with a ton of parking spaces for cars) that may cause a lot of cars to be generated in your game. Also, I think the size of the isla paradise map makes it more likely that npcs will be given cars by the game just to help them get from place to place. These are all guesses on my part but I'm hoping that others will be able to explain better.

I believe it would also be boats (water taxis).

This is not an unusual amount for OW to be cleaning up nightly. In addition to game-issued temporary use cars and boats, there are a few vehicle generation routines that get stuck in loops for many players. One involves snack and ice cream trucks, the other involves performance career and celebrity limos. We never see most of these vehicles on-screen, at least not most of the time.

The Traffic mod has settings that can cut these things off at the source so that the over-spawnage never happens.

Since I put in Traffic mod, I get at best 3-4 vehicles being cleaned in a night.

Thanks all for helping! I'm going to install the traffic mod. Thanks again!
