I can respect that position. Much of the backlash has been a result of blatant lies told by EA marketing and the Maxis developers."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

This video shows what I mentioned earlier - Sims drive to the nearest home in a big blob until it's filled, at which point they turn around.
This isn't as upsetting as it appears. For one thing, dead ends are bad design. For another, as soon as the house is fulled, all agents generated afterwards no longer tried to "flood" that road like unintelligent sewage or power agents would. But it goes a long way to explaining how the game punishes certain layouts. But in a patch, they should (as a commenter notes) reserve spots for agents in the future.Comment

I wonder if they can change this so that the subsequent agents "know" that the first guy is going to get that house... so they don't all try to go get it while the guy is en route.Originally posted by Wiglaf View PostTo us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Who knows? I don't know the size of the dev-team. It seems like they had a serious case of group-think on their hands.Originally posted by Guynemer View PostTo us, it is the BEAST.Comment

All the agent AI right now occurs when they are generated, likely for performance reasons. If theres a backup on a street, new agents with path around it, while others stupidly avoid other options.Comment

Do all the buildings (of a type) release their agents all at once at a given time, or is it staggered in some way?Originally posted by Sava View PostNo, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

I have almost no commercial left, since Baghdad became a hellish wasteland. The tourism from there was propping me up.Comment

They should stagger both the buildings and the people leaving them. That would be more realistic, especially industrial.Originally posted by Sava View PostNo, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment
