Just because you're building a good city doesn't mean you can't have fun with it!
- Dead bodies are treated problem-wise the same as garbage. If you decide not to build deathcare buildings, Cims will start chirping about funny smells next door to themselves.
- Small Playground: A dead person is waiting for transport! (operating normally)
- Despite Chirper's Scrappy Mechanic status, some of the Chirps you can get are rather amusing, like the one where someone finds their basement flooded, notices the water to be pleasantly warm, and signs the message with "#coolnewswimmingpool".
- The "In-game" trailer for the Natural Disasters Expansion. Entirely because of Soundtrack Dissonance.
- In the launch trailer for the same DLC, a lone cabin is complaining about a lack of water. This, as you watch the incoming tsunami. Even better is that the water complaint icon vanishes right before the wave hits.
- On the topic of Natural Disasters, the mere fact that the build menu lumps them in with the innocuous landscaping tools of all things gave quite a few players a good chuckle. It somehow gets even funnier when Fridge Brilliance kicks in and you realize that events like tsunamis or meteor impacts sure do a lot of landscaping.Youtube comment: Would you like to build a bicycle lane, or throw a meteor?
- There is a Workshop building for a 7-11 Crematory. That's right, a freaking crematory that takes the form of a 7-11 convenience store.
- Powering a city with clean and abundant (but expensive to set up) hydroelectric power? Nice. Doing it without accidentally inundating or sweeping away anything? Even better. Ensuring your dam stays full by pumping it full of sewage? Hilarious.
- Players discovered that building canals filled with sewage is also a viable way to set up ferry networks on maps with otherwise insufficient waterway coverage, complete with the ferries getting drenched in poop every time they're forced to pass under any of the countless sewage drain pipes.
- Water treatment plants clean up sewage. If you manage them well, you can actually drink the treated sewage after it powers your dams. Even funnier, the water treatment plant only takes out 85% of human waste pollution (i.e. the water is still 15% sewage), in line with real life US federal standards.
- When a Cim driving a car cannot find parking, the car disappears, and the Cim starts walking. In other cases, the car may simply disappear into the building. This behavior has been coined by the community as "pocket cars".
- In Financial Districts, one can invest in a company called “The Very Legit Company”, which has suspicion written all over its name and stock exchange description.Invest in the best! The Very Legit Company offers shares so cheap it’s a steal! Our business is perfectly legal and not shady at all.
- City radio commercials are basically all jokes:
- "Make sure you visit At the Old Grain Mill Old Family Restaurant, and not the abandoned grain facility at the edge of town. It's not open to the public, and presents a serious risk to anyone who dares enter that dangerous old flour mill."
- "Visit Andy's Bowling Alley, and be reminded that you're not actually that good at bowling!"
- "Due to recent incidents *squelch*, the chili will only be distributed at the end of the night!"
- "At Colossal Orenote , we care about our employees. That's why we do everything to get our miners back into the mines where they feel at home! Colossal Ore: More Than Ore."
- Truth in Television too, because this is a legit talking point that many mining companies will use for good PR and employee relations.
- "Dino Oil: Embrace the power of bones."
- "We are The Law Accounting, officially unlicensed since 2005."
