Title: Meaning of spinning suitcase over lot in Neighborhood view? Post by: Heodez on 2009 February 14, 17:57:47 I'm taking the risk of making a fool of myself: this is simply something I've never seen before, to the point that I'm fearing a BFVFS.
I've switched to a medieval neighborhood I hadn't played in a while (different EA Games folder than the one I used up until yesterday). This lot used to be a cemetary, but I don't know if the tombstones are still linked to their ghosts (I don't dare load the lot yet). Right now it stands as a buyable residential lot (used to be a home business, but the owner was deleted using Theo's Simpe plugin). Here's a pic of the "phenomenon". (http://images2.hiboox.com/images/0709/76ffa6533c55d6c1349b8502ecc1ef55.png) (http://www.hiboox.fr/go/images/jeu-video/spinning-suitcase,76ffa6533c55d6c1349b8502ecc1ef55.png.html) Is this just a normal manifestation of the game I'd never witnessed before? If so what does it mean? This is my main neighborhood (no subhood), I have all EPs ('cept M&G). Title: Re: Meaning of spinning suitcase over lot in Neighborhood view?

Well, thanks for the info anyway. Good thing I didn't play much since last backup. Title: Re: Meaning of spinning suitcase over lot in Neighborhood view? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2009 February 15, 03:41:43 At least you're not like this guy:
