Hedge Community Zoo

[(Designer)Z.Z.]

Hi everyone! :D

 

I made a Community Zoo map for us to share!

This is not a contest zoo, it is for us to have fun sharing the creation of a zoo together. :D

Included in the zip is the map, the ucis I used with a word document list of the ucis used so far, screenshots of the parts that I did, and a word document with instructions.

 

To play, simply post in this thread that you are taking the zoo, and download the zip. When you are done, zip it all back up and post it back to this thread so the next person can take it.

 

Please limit your added ucis to 10 files each, as the dlupdates folder can only have 300 files in it before it crashes the game.

The added uci files can be packs (combined files).

 

The ultimate goal of course is that we have fun!

Secondary goals naturally are that exhibit suitability is as high as possible, all animals are very happy, and the guests are very happy as well. :D

Remember that guests are happiest when they can see animals, and Cherry trees, Wild Olive trees, Dogwood trees, and Japanese Maple trees increase guest happiness too.

 

 

Other Notes and Tips:

The zoo wall is sunk into the ground with trees planted on the footprint to hide it.

The map edge is covered with Ground Cover Paths so it wont crash, but looks planted.

Inside the zoo wall is another row of Ground Cover Paths which completes the Zoo Hedge.

It is blocked by Invisible Fence so guests do not walk on it and become trapped.

The footprint of the invisible fence is on the outside, under the ground cover paths, so as long as you don’t run it over, it wont get deleted.

 

The green Hedge Decorative Fence around the zoo path is just to keep guests from wandering all over the grass while you build, so it is probably best to leave it in place until you are finished building your area, make sure the guests cant leave your area by surrounding it with the green Hedge Decorative Fence too, then open it up on the path to allow them into your area.

 

To limit the number of maintenance workers required, Restaurants are preferable to fast food stands.

 

For some reason, the Sea Otter Zookeeper refuses to place food for the Sea Otters, so I have placed it manually from the Map Editor tools, just keep an eye on it to make sure they don’t run out.

 

I cant wait to see what a wonderful zoo we make together!

:D

Thanks Caddie :)

 

Awww.... I know what its like to have a computer die a cruel death and not be able to play anymore.

I hope you were able to save all your downloads (ucis) to a disk first though.

The hardest part for me now is sorting through all the downloads again....

I also hope that you are able to get a new computer that will run ZT very soon!

My favorite part of the club contests was building zoos with other people, I really miss it.

 

You could work on it too Grammy! :D

Take your time, it will be up for awhile :)

I would like to work on it as well. I'm having trouble with my game crashing on the contest zoo. I think it may be a user animal. I've started over and I'm now wishing I had started a new zoo with a different biome. Your beginnings look beautiful Z.Z.

 

I also hope you can join in on this project, ZG; you are a zoobuilding zen master.

 

Oh and ZG, LOVE your avatar. I feel just like Garfield every morning.

[(Designer)Z.Z.]

Uh oh.

I see the zoo has been downloaded 4 times, but no one has posted that they are taking the zoo?

Well, Jan life has been having it's ups and downs. The older years are not for wimps. Trying not to highjack your thread ZZ. I haven't built a zoo for some time but hope to when things calm down. I'm starting to go to a Tai Chi class next week. I'll be watching this thread.
