Cheats -

 

(to turn off any of these cheats, exit Zoo Tycoon and re-enter)

 

Name a guest:

 

Adam Levesque - All animal care programs will be available

 

Akiyama - All scenarios become available

 

Andrew Binder - All animal houses will be available

 

Bill Clinton - Hamburger sales increase

 

Bill Gates - Donation amounts increase

 

Charlie Peterson - All exhibit foliage will be available

 

Hank Howie - All zoo staff research will be completed

 

John Wheeler - All animal shelters will be available

 

Lou Catanzaro - All animal toys will be available

 

Steve Serafino - All endangered animal research will be completed

 

 

"Mr. Blue" - All guest's shirts turn blue

 

"Mr. Blonde" - All guest's shirts turn yellow

 

"Mr. White" - All guest's shirts turn white

 

"Mr. Brown" - All guest's shirts turn brown

 

"Mr. Orange" - All guest's shirts turn orange

 

"Mr. Pink" - All guest's shirts turn pink

 

"Alfred H" - flocks of birds appear to chase and scare people

(Genki's note: I've tried this, as I've been told that doing so will get guests to leave your zoo quickly, still happy, and therefore gaining you many benefactors. Above it says that turning off your game and restarting it will turn off the cheat, but when I tried, the birds were still scaring the guests :()

 

"Russel C" - all fences in the zoo deteriorate 100%

 

"Zeta Psi" - All guest's shirts turn yellow and they vomit

 

 

These "guest cheats" only last while that guest stays in the zoo, the people you might not know above (John Wheeler, Charlie Peterson, etc.) were involved in the game development - see the credits.

Name an exhibit:

 

"Blue Fang" - Guests pay double for all attractions

 

"Cretaceous Corral" - Triceratops animal is unlocked

 

"Microsoft" - Donations to exhibits are doubled

 

"Wonderland" - More guests will come to the zoo

 

"Xanadu" - Unicorn animal is unlocked

 

 

More Cheats:

 

 

Pressing the "$" key (<shift + 4>) during the game will give you 10,000 each time it is pressed, however your fences will deteriorate each time.

 

Name a male maintenance worker Bob V, all fences are fixed.

 

Name a zookeeper "Dr Dolittle", and existing animals have double breeding chance

 

Name a male maintenance worker George W, all the foliage in your zoo will vanish, and you will receive $300.

 

Name a tour guide "Rosalie", and all tour guide salaries drop to $0

 

(note: this cheat seems to not work after the first month, although it says it does)

 

 

Rename a Grizzly Bear "Deer" and it will escape

 

Place a Lion, a Tiger and a Bear in the same exhibit, and the "yellow brick road" (100/square) footpath is unlocked. (Make sure it is a Siberian Tiger and a Grizzly Bear)

.Ini Edits:

 

To have access to all the scenarios, you should make a backup copy of your zoo.ini file. Then, edit your zoo.ini file (it should be located in the directory you installed Zoo Tycoon, c:\program files\zoo tycoon\zoo.ini) and erase whatever is under the "[scenario]" section, and add the following (this section is usually at the end of the file):

 

tutorial=0

aa=1

ab=1

ac=1

Getting around the 1000 guest limit

 

In order to have more then 1000 Guests in your zoo at any time, you need to add these lines before the [scenarios] section::

 

[ai]

maxGuests=XXXX

 

Where XXXX is the guest limit you want to have, (i.e. 5000)

 

NOTE: There are reasons why a guest limit of 1000 was set up in Zoo Tycoon: 1. Game testing was done with a maximum of 1000 guests, the more people you have in a zoo, the more is required of your computer to play the game. If your computer starts to have trouble or the game runs slow when you have more then 1000 guests, you should remove these .INI lines. 2. Most Animals are pretty much guaranteed to be affected by more then 1000 guests and will complain "Animal X is feeling crowded by too many guests." You need to put up solid fences or find other ways to add more privacy to make the animal happy, but on the other hand not being able to see animals is the #1 reason for Guest unhappiness.

Easter Eggs:

 

If the game date is January 1st, all guests entering the zoo will be sick (new years eve hangover).

 

If the game date is September 15th, a red "Microsoft" plane pulling a "Blue Fang" banner flies across the screen randomly to signify the release date of Zoo Tycoon.

 

If the game date is October 31st, all buildings placed on that day are Orange and Black in color, and all new guests that enter on that date will be wearing orange and black. A flying witch will randomly fly across the screen and a Jack-O-Lantern (Structures -> Zoo Scenery) is available for placement.

 

If the game date is December 25th, and a guest enters the zoo on that date, a snowman (Structures -> Zoo Scenery) and a Christmas tree (Construction --> Foliage) are available for placement. Also Santa and his reindeer will fly across the map randomly.

Genkicoll or anyone else,

 

Has anyone ever tried the Dr. Dolittle Cheat? Is it Doolittle Or Dolittle? I tried it once and nothing happened, but then I have trouble telling male and female Maintence Workers apart and don't know the easiest way to fix the problem. Also, I sometimes don't always get the Jack'O Lanterns or Snowmen even when Guests do come into my zoos, has anybody ever had that problem?

You have to have a guest enter the zoo on October 31st and December 25th (respectively) to have those items show up in your menu. Pause the game as soon as they show up so you can place them before the disappear again.

 

The Dr Dolittle cheat is supposed to increase your chance of animals breeding, but the best way to get them to breed is to make sure they're happy by having the suitability as high as you can get it, and making sure that they're not feeling crowded by guests.

 

I do know that the Dr Scholl cheat works on scientists - they practically RUN! :24:
