Let me know when you've done this and, should you have any issues, screen grab the step you're stuck on and post it here. Start up the game and check to see if your animals are in! zip.Īssuming they don't, drag them into the zoo tycoon folder.ħ. Make sure that they don't have the extension. Open up the folder where you have your dlc files. This is folder is where your dlc files go.Ħ. Look for one called Zoo Tycoon 2 and double click to open.

You should now see at list one folder but you.may have more depending on how many Microsoft games you have installed. In the next list, look for 'Microsoft Games'. However, if there's more than one, you want the one with (x86) at the end. Based on what I believe your windows version is, there should be just one. Look through the list of folders here for 'Program Files'. When you identify it, double click to open.ģ. It is usually your C: drive and generally the largest drive in your computer if you have more than one. When the new window opens, look for your main hard drive. Open your windows start menu and look for 'My Computer' then click it.Ģ. I asked about your windows because the path to the correct directory will be slightly different depending in which version you have, but we should be able to muddle through regardless.ġ. Without the expansions I don't think I can do much more!Ĭlick to expand.Okay, yes, we are onto a winner.

It could be a bit laborious, this process, but it's the only way I know to get to grips with what's rubbing what up the wrong way.

Try the above and let us know how you get on. I'd start by adding Marine Mania, boot up and confirm it's working, exit, add sailfish, boot up, get in game and see if you have the sailfish. It may be (I don't have a huge amount of experience with the expansions) that you can find some mix that plays well together, though based on what Matt's said, perhaps not. If this works out, then you may have to decide whether you want to play with official or unofficial.Īt the same time, knowing that some of the unofficial stuff is for the expansions (the sailfish being one of them?) then next step would be to systematically add expansions to your game, one at a time, again, to see if you can narrow down the compatibility issue.

Couldn't find the sailfish available online.Īs Matt says above that they don't play well with expansions, first port of call should be to uninstall expansions, add the unofficial animals one by one and check if each appears in the game, then all at once and see what happens. I've tried the american badger, leopard tortoise, and maned wolf all with just the base game and they've appear just fine simply dropping the files (unzipped) into the main Zoo Tycoon 2 folder in (x86).
