It just popped into my head that there are so many breeds of horses but they still look like horses. I have never seen a horse in person or picture where I have thought "What is that?"

In my main projects thread, I wrote earlier that I'd craft my plaques for Shark Pack using AI... Welp, I tried and it turned out to be an actual epic fail 😹😹 But later, I got a better idea... Instead of generate the whole image, I might just only design a prompt for the background over which I may just stick the model of the animal! So, using Stable Diffusion algorithm, I achieved neat results... I disagree with the term that stands that the "artist" gets the whole property of the picture generated by its prompt, so you may feel free to use these for your own projects if you want... These are poor quality re uploads. However, you can always download the originals on better resolution at my NightCafe profile: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Zarawatto I'm just posting the Shark Pack plaques now, but I'll design new ones for the upcomming projects and post them into this thread as well...

lol I do have that with some dogs

No it is not just you Jan. Fountain you should get the freeform unlock and then you won't get this. You would still have to do the research though

Cricket accidentally gave you the DD link which is not out in public. All the info can be found at this board at DG http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?board=246.0

When the zoo started functioning again the African elephant and a few other animals were missing from the menu along the wood plank exhibit fence. That same fencing I had already used was still holding in the animals but I had to use iron fencing for new exhibits. As the game progressed through its first year periodically "More animals and items are available for purchase," (paraphrased) and I realized foliage and items, and probably animals were gradually being returned to those menus. In game time December the African Elephant returned. Obviously something else is wonky in the works. And I did use zoo number 3 while keeping previous zoo saved with its number 2. I am tempted to put back the Brick expansion 3 in zoo #2 and take out all the newer animal dls to see how that effects game #2. So glad we have a long time for this Brandi's Flowers contest. And thanks to everyone for their suggestion and if there are more please post them.

Rise, thread! Getting myself back in gear with a little project - I wanted to try a koi pond related build with Hawkkeye's koi, and I decided I would try to replicate, or at least take inspiration from, this style of modernist, blocky, terraced pond garden: Something I've never tried in ZT before. I knew I it would be multi-leveled with multiple surface materials, with lots of flat surfaces and lots of the ZA invisible glass tank wall. I knew I wanted to try something unique with the shape and layout of the ponds ... and I knew I wanted to keep the "gardening" very minimalistic, mostly grasses, hedges and water plants. Here's what I wound up with ... "diorama" style. (Click to explore in full resolution.) Question: how many tanks do you suppose there are in total? :) I also really like how it looked "bare" in this WIP stage ... I might actually prefer it that way, but you know ... at that point it's not really much of a zoo build, is it? Did I achieve my goal of replicating that modernist garden pond look? Yes, I think so! Could it be done even better? Yes, I think so ...
