Rain, use of parks and sports facilities, and...where are the firefighters?

[raf8655]

Hi everyone, I don't know if you have the same problems:

the reproduction of the rain is very strange, instead of falling perpendicular to the ground it goes horizontally to it, in practice it never touches the ground and flows horizontally, a very unnatural effect; with snow however everything is ok.

Citizens do not use parks and especially recreational facilities correctly; for example in the basketball or tennis field there are no people who practice these sports with the necessary animations.

Where are the firefighters and their animations to put out the fires?

​

I would like the rain to fall naturally, for parks and sports facilities to be used by citizens with the right animations, for firefighters to get out of their vehicles and put out fires with pumps...

That's right.
It is strange: the rain falls sideways and does not wet the streets.

It seems that the rain problem has been resolved with the new patch

It is very odd that cities 1 had those animations and cs 2 not. It feels like a downgrade, maybe they were planned but they released earlier than finished.

Yeah zooming in and seeing all of the characters animating around was extremely charming in the first game and you definitely notice it being absent. I think the final pedestrians didn't get added in till closer to release, so im hoping maybe that delayed them getting to the animations. Then when you factor in the performance issues which they are addressing now, thats going to push back any updates that would be more taxing on the cpu/gpu, like the animations. I'm just speculating though and hopefully the developers address the animations and that in a dev diary (they may have already talked about this and i've just missed it, tbh).

I hope that the animations of the inhabitants are introduced with some patches because otherwise it would be really bad and serious not to have them...

The problem continues: the rain does not wet the streets/roads or the land.

They need to add the animations.
Imagine if a big stadium with events get release in the future and it is static....not a good look

Yeah, that problem came back to me too
