Well I don't care what you say. 9 months away has not hurt your building skills at all they are just as good now as they were back then.

Awesome stats.

Thank you Bengal & YR for your continued encouragement.

Seraphii... :pinch: I am so sorry (how embarassing!). Forgive an Old Lady?

I was looking through some old zoo pics from past zoo builders that I printed out a couple of years ago (yes I still have them). I'm going to try to get a little more....er...exotic (?) with some of my viewing areas. If the truth were to be known, I'm bored with my building skills and need to try to expand on them. Only time will tell if I'm successful. I'll post something in a few days-my loving other half BC is playing his new RTC3 and my ZT time has disappeared for a few days! :laughing:

Dont worry about it!!!
I am counting the seconds until you post more

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #55 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:31:49 AM »

Okay, Seraphii, stop counting...here are some new pics for ya! :laughing: I'm going to try to use the new system of posting on a hosting site-I hope I do this right

Okay, the first pic is a close up view of the viewing area I did for the Moose exhibit. I put the large Moose statue I have in the middle of the viewing area, which guests walk around to see the animals.

The next two pics are of the landscaping I completed in front of the Animal Theatre below Grizzley Terrace. The 2nd pic is a close up view.

I got about an hour of playing time Tuesday night, so I decided to fill in the blank spot near the entrance on the Forest side. Here are Przewliski's horses, who had a baby 20 seconds after they arrived!! :shocked:

http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/?action=view¤t=SmWaterPrzewHorsesBaby.jpg

The addition of the Carousel and its' partner the Ice Cream stand went in behind the Gift Shop. The front section of the entire zoo is now complete.

Last pic is an overview of the completed Forest Section. I hope to start the next section within a day or two, with some new viewing area designs.

Wow!

That is soooooo beautiful. I always love looking at ZT1 zoos... I dunno why, but they always just seem so beautiful and well done. So thanks for continuing to post them and they are absoultely incredible!

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #59 on:** June 30, 2006, 04:42:54 AM »

Ya'll are just too kind, thank you very much for your sweet compliments!

I was able to start the back portion of the zoo yesterday, and had just completed my first Rain Forest exhibit and started another Savannah exhibit, when suddenly everything went to Black!! Yep, my first game crash in over a year!!! I was so bummed as I hadn't saved any of the landscaping in the RF section, and none of the Savannah exhibit was saved.

HOWEVER, I did take 2 pics of the RF side before I lost the game, so here is what it looked like before the crash.

This is the Rain Forest Cafe, acting as a gateway to the new section, and my one of my favorite RF cats, the Black Leopards.

http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/?action=view¤t=SmWaterBlackLeopRainCafe.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch2

This pic was taken with the foliage turned off so you can get a better look at the viewing area for my cats!

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterBlkLeopNoFol.jpg

Now, time to go back through my files and find that nasty bug that shut down my game!!! Hope you like!

Looks awesome. I especially like your viewing areas.

Seraphii · « **Reply #61 on:** June 30, 2006, 06:17:27 AM »

More beautiful work!!
The Leopards look great
im soooo sorry that your game crashed

Sypke · « **Reply #62 on:** June 30, 2006, 02:38:56 PM »

I truely love the landscaping LadyZ!! and love to see the checkers back again too!! :-)

I hope you don't mind I saved the pics so I can study them some more.

Firehawke · « **Reply #63 on:** June 30, 2006, 06:47:34 PM »

Game crash?!?!? :pinch: That stinks! Good luck getting it taken care of!
I love all of your landscaping! It makes me want to go work on my zoo right now and make it look all pretty! Keep up the great work and good luck recovering your lost building! I hope that you are able to recreate the rainforest exhibit!

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #64 on:** July 01, 2006, 05:48:05 AM »

Ladies & Gentlemen: you are all fabulous!! Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement and support. In a word: You Rock! Sypke-I don't mind at all that you printed them, in fact that is one of the highest forms of compliments you could have given me.

Now about my game: it seems this silly Old Lady needed to get herself a refresher course in Downloads 101 and File Types 101. Seems I removed a zip file from my ZT folder that, obviously, wasn't supposed to be removed.

This is what caused my game to pass out :sleeping: So, after I reinstalled the mysterious zip file, my game has been behaving itself

I was able to redo the landscaping on the Rain Forest side, making only a few little changes, and complete the new Savannah exhibit and add a new attraction yesterday. I did, however, continually save the game over and over as I went (which is NOT a bad habit to have). Although I have taken some pics, BC got to the computer and I couldn't get them edited and uploaded last night.

Hopefully I'll be able to get them up before the weekend is over.

Game crashes are a ZT1, or ZT2 for that matter, player's worst enemy. I've lost all my zoos--both the work of over a year--twice. Becuase of hard drive faliure etc. And had many crashes when my computer was infected with viruses. Le sigh.

Glad you built it back, and I love the area by the resturant. Good luck with your game behaving itself!

mo15 · « **Reply #66 on:** July 02, 2006, 02:48:39 PM »

Your zoo is looking lovely! I love the scenery! The game crash really sucks, glad to hear it's still coming along! :original:

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #67 on:** July 03, 2006, 05:13:54 AM »

Picture Time!! Yes, I was finally able to get my pics edited and posted, so here they are!

First up, my Grizzly Bears finally had babies!! They were the only ones who were childless up to now!

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterGrizzlyBabies.jpg

Now, the redo on the Savannah exhibit that I lost in the crash. I decided to experiment with using a moat and lower fencing with this one. Here are my Lions--and they had babies as soon as they arrived!!

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterLionsWithMoat.jpg

Across from the Lion Exhibit, I put in the Desert Terrarium attraction, and made an outdoor exhibit along the side of it called the Living Desert. It still needs work

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterDesertAttract.jpg

Last pic for now is an updated overview of the new part of the Savannah area.

I'm glad that you were able to figure out what was wrong and that it was an easy fix! I love all of the new pics!!!

I patterned one of my new ob. areas after the terraces that you've created! Keep up the wonderful work!!! :winner_fi

Seraphii · « **Reply #69 on:** July 03, 2006, 03:47:44 PM »

It doesn't need work

It looks great like the rest of your stuff.
gosh.... you are turning into me XD

Uummm Seraphii....I think that may be the other way around...I have always been my own worst critic-just ask Firehawke, Yellowrose, and Tex-they'll tell ya!! :pinch:

FH-thank you so much for your encouragement! I on my way to your zoos right now to see them!!!! :blushing:

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #71 on:** July 04, 2006, 05:20:47 AM »

Good Morning! Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA! I hope you all have a safe and happy day today.

I was able to finish my small zoo last night (yey me! :laughing: ). I'm going to limit the number of pic links to four so it won't be so overwhelming to try to see them all at one time.

First pic is of the Living Desert Attraction, which I have updated and fixed to be alittle more open and interesting.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterLvngDesertFixed.jpg

Next to the Living Desert I put in my Camels, and they had a baby almost immediately! I also made them a walk through viewing area due to the closeness of the desert attraction.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterCamelBaby.jpg

I went back over to the rain forest area and built a small lagoon effect, and put in a Food Court and a Rides Court. The Food Court was a BIG mistake--my guest happiness dropped immediately and never recovered for the rest of the game! (Note to self--no more food courts! :pinch: )

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterRidesFood.jpg

This is the same area without the foliage.

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #72 on:** July 04, 2006, 05:27:51 AM »

With the disatrous effect the Food Court had on my guests, I very quickly put in the RainForest Restaurant, with a small moat around it.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterRFrestaurant.jpg

Next to the restaurant, I put in my last exhibit-the Orangutans, my favorite primate! This pic has the foliage off.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterOranutansNoFol.jpg

And finally, the...er...*required* final overview pics.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/LadySlopokes/ZooPics/SmWaterFinalOVBlkCats.jpg

And just for fun...!

Hope you like!

Soooo.....Im turning into you ? XD
And your right, Improvement did help
it looks Gorgeous!!
If you put it up for download,I will hit it first

!

LadyZookeeperNY · « **Reply #74 on:** July 04, 2006, 07:51:44 AM »

Thank you Seraphii, but I generally don't put my zoos up for download because of all the user made downloads I use all the time. I don't want to be responsible for anyone else's game having problems.

I forgot to post some final numbers:

GH - 92 (yucky

)
AH - 98
Zoo Rating - 92
Benefactors - 167 (I think that's right)

I ended up with 14 exhibits, 721 guests...and...I didn't write down the rest of them. I was a bit :sleeping:
