City Needs Help -- An Any Time Challenge

I seem to have lost my previous post query about AZ's snow zoo pix. I study them and I am still amazed at the wonderland she created!

 

Any ideas were the lovely table of veg came from? I do not recognize the large Santa or the giant tree with presents.

Here is the vegetable table. It was from ZA. It may have been originally part of a larger pack but I separated it out so I wouldn't lose it.

Oh my, I absolutely love your purple path zoo. So much to see and appreciate, such a wonderful project. You have such a way with design and décor. Truly a masterpiece.

I love what you added! The path goes really well with the theme!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!

 

I made some adjustments for spring weather in the zoo and then I put in the Map Editor and had fun! May changes use Developer items and those that come with the map editor dl. Some results below....

 

First add-on to feed storage

 

Re-did the front to provide bus drop off and handicap parking spaces

 

 

An idea of what the tall apartment buildings and grounds looked like before clean-up, restoration, and plantings. You can see where illegal dumping of trash occurred and still needs be clean-up. I extended the walls closer to the edge of the map. Granted the new plantings inside the zoo wall are too tall and filled-out but that is we have to work with dls and program space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One fun thing to remember next time you make a spooky zoo; dl the map editor and add some krill or floating greens to your exhibits or along the path with, say gargoyles or tombstones for eerie effect. Unfortunately, your guests will not notice but it looks great! (A nifty easter egg for a new version of ZT1 especially if a fiendish chuckle sound could be added!) Here is a close-up of the veg just floating in the air.

 

 

More housing and local improvements to come.

I love all of the additions...you have a great eye!

 

And love that idea for a spooky touch!

This zoo is so detailed! What a fun discovery with the creepy floating 'stuff'. Please help us remember this next fall, fountain.

Hi, friends! I'm still dealing with minor headaches or vestibular migraines 2-6 days a week even with various medication try-outs and modified diet and special computer and sunglasses. I am 60-80% better because the symptoms are less intense and I am having fewer problems with thinking, speaking, unsteady gait, and fewer days of exhaustion. --Vestibular migraines are really weird!

 

I have managed to do a remodel of the city zoo changing the ice age exhibits to water tanks. Outside the zoo it has been lovingly detailed to more summery foliage. I have not done any work on it for three weeks so we get to take a tour together!

 

Picnic to the left of the gate, remodeled front entrance, the manta rays are fed...

 

 

For the hungry, stands in front of the administration building and outside the zoo wall is one of many recycling areas...

 

Turning around we see the saiga and the thylacine exhibits. Each group of exhibits has 2-3 keepers and 1 fencer trapped. Most of the exhibit fencing is accessible from the inside for repair.

 

Spectacled Bears and part of the African Wild Dog exhibit...

 

 

Giraffe.... You also see, outside the wall, the bus driver's rest stop at the end of the route.

 

A baby rhino! BTW the zoo is on year 14, 98% animal happiness, 93% guest happiness. Benefactors 159. Only 67 animals, 19 exhibits, 12 attractions, staff of 29, 800 guests. I raise and lower price to keep guests between 675- 850.
