happiness vs suitability

[mrspiggy]

I try to get my exhibits to the highest suitability I can but have a hard time doing so. Question, is it more important to strive to get that rating of 100 or devote time getting the animals happiness to 100. My hippos range around 83+ but their smiley face says they are happy- usually 99-100.

 

Does the suitability rating have any effect on the guest happiness or is it just animal happiness that the guests like??

It is the animal happiness that counts However the suitability has an enormous impact on the happiness rating of the animals

Some do not need a real high suitability and still be happy for a 100% And some like the marhor for instance are not easy to please and need a suitability for at least 90% to be happy.

its more important mrspiggy to find a good balance between them

The number one most important thing when building for stats is happy animals... and you make your animals happy by getting a high suitability :wink: The happier your animals are, the happier the guests will be, and the higher your zoo ratings will be.
