Car Stuck On Bridge in Bridgeport
« on: January 13, 2011, 01:14:51 PM »
Hi - I've noticed now, for the last few days, there is an old car stuck on the Bridge in Bridgeport.
I just can't stand looking at it.  Is it even possible to remove it some way?  I am unable to do it in edit town.
Does anyone have a clue how to get rid of this car?
Thanks

Go into debug mode.  Click shift on the car.  You should be able to nuke/delete it.

Use testingcheatsenabled true, shift+click the car, Object..., Delete.

Thanks for the help - I tried testingcheatsenabled true and when I shift click on the car, my options are "build on this lot" and "buy on this lot"
I do not have the option to delete.   I am on a Mac if that makes any difference.

Are you sure you clicked on the car? You may have clicked on the bridge itself by mistake. Altough, you may try selecting Buy On This Lot and then deleting the car (moveobjects on, if necessary), but this will propably not work. If you are absolutely sure that you clicked on the car and the "Object..." option didn't appear, then the car itself isn't there, but it's visuals are stuck, meaning you'll have to move to another neighborhood (or a new bridgeport) to get rid of it.

Thank you but buydebug didn't work either.  I did click on the car but do not get - object, delete - which I did just try on something else.
Also I did try buy on this lot, build on this lot and nothing happens.

I just tried other cars to see if I get the objects, delete and I am able to shift click any other car and get the option object, delete,
but unable to do it to any car thats on the bridge.

I guess I'll have to live with it for now, unless of course my game starts really acting up to the point it's not playable.

I appreciate the help, at least I learned something new today-Thank you

Jancy, I have same problem only in front of the dynasty home. I believe bugged butler left it there but I also couldn't find the way to get rid of it. Shift+click usually work with everything but for some reason this car is not recognized as object and therefore is not deletable.

Thanks - It is pretty strange though because I can shift click, object, delete
on any other car except any car on or driving on the bridge.

Wishing thinking here - but hopefully the next patch will get this cleaned up for us.

I would imagine if the car or object is not on an actual lot, then none of that will work.  I had three or four cars at one time in one of my games, all in the road.  Not much you can do, I guess, but just ignore them.  Makes for an ugly street though, lol. :)

I had a car stuck at an intersection in Twinbrook and it drove me crazy seeing it there all of the time.  I tried everything to remove it and I didn't want to move my family as they had lived there for several generations.
I finally tried blowing it up and it worked.  I also blew up a stray car that was stuck in front of my home for several Sim weeks.
Not sure if this would be helpful to you, or if you even had an inventor that could do it for you, but it just might work.  :D

Well my Sim can finally detonate but unfortunately he cannot detonate that ugly car on the bridge.  Oh well I'm at least thankful it's not in front of my house!
Thank you all anyway for the help.
