I'm going to delete this in a day or two, it does take up a lot of space. Here is a readout of one of Jay's Programs. It lists the content of the Workbench. It is amazing to work with...It tells me what items are there...so I can list the right files to download...when it is released.

Fountain, It seems that I put the wrong name for the waterfalls...they are Genki's, not the ZA ones. Will check to make sure the list is right.

Thank you Jan! Very kind of you to say. The design is all Fountain"s...I just put it together. So praise goes to her too!

The House on the hill, the entrance of the workbench, the bridge in the back of the workbench, beyond the walls, and the volcanic area beyond the back wall...

Here are more of the screens from Fountain"s Redo...as it stands waiting for Fountain's critique. Screens of the redone bridges area...

Everything is how I want it. As of here, I package the zoo and dlupdate folder up and send it to Fountain. She can take a walk through and note any changes she may want done. Sending the dlupdate folder with the zoo, I know she will have the exact items I used. If she chooses to add in extra items for me to add into the design, I know exactly what she wants. When she is done she sends it back to me to finish. At this stage she can even change the outside area of the workbench. The gate is not placed till the very end.

So creative! Another great project, Caddie!

Here I've worked on some of the viewing areas. I use Brandi's People set a lot. It helps me see what an area would look like...also helps me see ratios of things. At this point I noted a problem with two bridges that cross the creek/river. Both were 25 units long. the bridge ends are made to cover multiples of 3...the largest covers 15 units. therefore neither bridge would work. I redid both bridges...which led to the redoing of the area on each side of the bridges. The screens show before and after a bridge was fixed. By the way I had hit the Hide Foliage button on the second screen. Dr Rick's foliage acts as regular foliage in game. Catfishes's foliage stays visible. (In case you noted a change in foliage.) Doing the foliage usually takes me 4 to 7 hours to place...it always takes the longest for me to do!)

At this point in time, I focus on the scenery elements. I have completed the foliage. I go through and make sure non of it sits on paths, or blocks special views. I look at paths to see if any are too wide or too small. I look at the entrance. Adding or subtracting scenery pieces as necessary. I always take my time here. I believe what is outside the zoo is just as important as to what's inside. This goes with the foliage and other scenery pieces. I do a sweep of the outside of the zoo. I delete anything in the first row of squares at the edge of the workbench. The only thing I let exist in this outer row is path pieces. The two attached screens show finished foliage. I don't cover everything with plants...I have seen that there are always open areas...for what ever reason (too much water, not enough sun light, soil can't support life, etc.). You can see that I've cleared the edge too. The entrance is still basic.
