I don't like this zoo...I want to go home.

I have a bit of a problem.

I was playing in my happy little zoo. Everything was lovely. Everyone was getting along. My happy level was high! A few minutes later I looked down and my happy level something like 28!

 

So, I go exploring...I click to see my guests needs and there are a ton of mad people! They were all bunched up at the bottom of the show stands. I moved them one by one away from the stands. They all went off and found their happy place again. A few minutes after they leveled back out, it happens again. OK, so I am thinking maybe I built the stands too close to the tank or something. I had never had that problem before, but it was worth a shot. I moved the stands further back and then NOBODY would use them. *sigh* I started getting a little frustrated. Then I start noticing my guest happiness is dropping some more. I mean what the heck? So I look and I have a ton of people stuck at park benches, bouncy rides, picnic tables...Anywhere that someone could sit down, there were groups of people stuck. I guess they were able to sit down and eat or whatever they needed to do. They would stand up again and never leave. I had 120+ people stuck at one table.

 

I had done several downloads a couple of days before (one of them being a picnic table). I took them all back out, but the problem stayed. Anyone have some clues on where I should start digging to try to fix this?

Any user-made bench or picnic table that's "working" requires a hack that will cause this problem. Using scenery versions of the benches and tables is not a problem, just the ones that guests are actually supposed to be able to sit at. I highly recommend removing that picnic table from your dlupdate (or Updates) folder.

There is another possible cause-

 

I've noticed that when you have a bunch of guests all in one area that provides attractions i.e.-grand stands, picnic tables, etc.-you'll have a couple of guests who just stand there and block the way for other guests to move. Hence, you'll start getting some pretty angry guests because they are unable to go anywhere untill the other guests decide to move out of their way. How I personally resolve this is to simply make your paths wider-at least three grid squares wide.

 

Anyway, hope this helps.

What are the stands you have? And where did you get them?

[myrab51]

The paths are 3-5 squares wide in some of the areas I am having the problem. The stands I am using are the in game stands for the marine shows. It is occurring at every single bench, table, stand, anywhere anyone can sit.

 

This is the pack with the bench that I had added:

I have remove all elements of it, including the dll that it came with, but it is still occurring.

The main file to have made sure is gone is chickfilatable.ztd. It is a problem.

Since it is still happening and you have removed this then it sounds like you have run a patch exe file at some point. Or that you still have a guest hack in your game hiding in a file. Can you post a copy of your dlUpdate please.

[myrab51]

That was the problem. I thought I had it all out, but somehow I missed chickfilatable.ztd. It is working great now!

 

Thank you all for your input and time!

So glad to hear. I hate anyone to be stuck to a table. They may continue to eat until they explode. LOL
