Update! Tomorrow is the last day of rest for me. During these days, I've been working on the japanese zoo alongside a friend of mine who speaks japanese and knows about nihon custom better than I do. Yesterday, my beloved one left the city because of her work and now she's at the other corner of the country (and will be there for at least the next three months), then I'm kinda melancholic... So, with this new zoo I tried to distract myself, but sure you'll notice that it's not so much produced. Anyways, is the last intermediate park! Let's see the Empty South East Asian Zoo from the South East Asian Zoo campaign: User-made only restricted: Animals, paths, decorative fences & scenery. In-game allowed stuff: Exhibit fences, buildings, foliage, rocks & staff. Objectives: 1. Diversity: 5 south east asian exhibits with a total of 8 animals, including 2 malaysian tapirs, 2 orangutans, 2 javan rhinos & one south east asian big cat. 2. Suitability: at least 85. 3. Rating: at least 85. Main view of the small park: The only user made animal got on this scenario is Borsato's Saola! They don't like the steep terrain that much, but they went adapted very well on their small waterfall! 🌊🌊 The big cat chose for this scenarios was Bengal Tiger, most because Clouded Leopard is more expensive... And because I like swimming animals, just like tigers and Malaysian Tapir! 🐅🐅 The other two required species are Orangutan and Javan Rhino. I love how orangutans play with their gym. Also, a nice south east asian addition to this zoo are Toodlepops' Angkor Wat Shelters! 🛕🛕 This scenario gave me some ideas for the indian themed park! As I told on my first post from this thread, from now on, for the advanced scenarios, in-game buildings and exhibit fences will be forbidden, so I gotta gather some new files before resuming the challenge. The first advanced scenery is Island Zoo, where terrain tool is disabled. That's not a drawback! Is a great chance for building ideas! Until then! Have a nice day 😽😽

When I was a kid, elephants were my fav animal... My dad says that it was because of the Tarzan Movie, which came out when I was about 4yo. So, my mom who, besides being a gorgeous woman, is a biologist, she had an ilustrated encyclopaedia. I remember that huge book and spending the whole afternoon when I came back from school looking at their pictures! Between its pages, I found a depiction of the proboscideans evolutionary tree... If elephants were my favorite animals, when I first saw Gomphotherium or Deinotherium, my childish mind blew up! When I started building the MegaTusk Plaza from the Thawed Out Park, I found several names that unlocked soooo many memories from those years! The six proboscideans I found and chose for the MegaTusk Plaza were: - In representation of the Palaeoloxodon genus, Khaydar's Sicilian Dwarf Elephant, made with BlueFang's graphic model. - Khaydar's Moeritherium, made with ZT Thailand's model. - Hendrix's American Mastodon, made with the ZT2 graphics. - BlueFang's Woolly Mammoth, modified with VNDragon's combined realism hack. - Khaydar's Stegodon, made with Bill's model. - Deinotherium made completely by Khaydar! I started the design and building of the MegaTusk Plaza in an early stage of gameplay, because I knew it would demand so much space. Actually, the first idea was that the three bulky gates were the entraces for the road of the proboscideans, but at the end I figured out how to save space for it, making the third one the entrance for the cats area. I may guess that, at least Stegodon, Mastodon & Dwarf Elephant have base data of the original Mammoth file, because they behave almost the same. You can't notice on the screenshots, but their exhibits were built and re-built several times! The gameplay extended more than initially tought because of that. A little loss of attention and their exhibits got overcrowded or too dirty and they started smashig everything! It was a real challenge having them fully confortable as I built the other zoo areas, but hey! That's no complain! If dealing with actual elephants is a whole headache for the zoos nowadays, I can just imagine hoy tough would it be if they might actually have extinct proboscideans! That makes the experience quite realistic! This is the last post I make about Thawed Out Park. I don't know if you'd like for me to upload it, so you may take a look at it on your own eyes... But i find it quite hard, most because of the whole sea of UCIs it has. I'm now working on the next projects. Unfortunately, or fortunately, IDK, I got sick since last friday. This is the 4th time I have a round with covid... I already won against it three times. A fourth one is just for keeping the custom! 😹😹 I'm apart from work at least during this week. A good thing has to come up from these cloggy-nose days, so I'm taking advantage making new stuff! Have a nice day! Until next empty zoo!
