Did you by any chance unlock the Maxis street & crosswalk tiles, and use any of them to cover a lot?

No. At least, I don't think so.

I have, and it does. In all four - Old Town, Enderby and t'other one. Sometimes, it will happen. Other times, everything seems fine. If I go into a house and back into the neighbourhood, it may go back to normal, depending on how it's feeling.

Edit:  You answered my question when I stepped away.

Since it's all four that are affected and it's dragging your system when it happens it makes me think that your video card may be heading for the community memorial park.  Try updating your drivers from the manufacturer web site first.  (I know I have rolled back my drivers and not realized it when I did a system restore.)  If that doesn't help you may want to look into a new card.  They really are reasonable as long as you aren't looking for the dramatic bomb of a card.  I have a Radeon 9250 with 256 MB that I bought for $100 a little over a year ago.  I could definitely do better but it runs my game fine.  www.newegg.com is a great site for reasonable cards and they are really simple to install.

Is it that neighborhood only or are all your neighborhoods now showing the same way?


It's not permanent - all of them do it from time to time, such as this event in Enderby:

  - but it's still irritating.



Quite interesingly, it only started to happen since the NL patch...

Try and create a new neighbourhood, and see how it turns out :) Is that the concrete terrain?
