Halloween Animals Not Working

I downloaded the Fun Pack animals and they don't show up in my game (with MM). Could this be a MM problem or am I doing something wrong? I downloaded/extracted them exactly as always. And all my other animals even AA show up, just not Mika's Fun Pack. Suggestions?

They are a reskin, meaning you need to put them in the main directory, not the downloads area.

Sorry you are experiencing problems! :crying:

Well, a few checkpoints:

Are they in a folder? They can't be for them to work.

Does the .z2f start with a Z? It will need to start with Y or Z in order for the game to read it "last" and "overwrite" the animals.

And just for clarification, they are a reskin but I didn't edit any icons. They aren't new animals, just new temp skins for them.

Edit: I just checked my game and they are working just fine :crying:

They're not in any folder. Directly under ZT2.

They end with .zt2 Should that be Y, then? yt2?

I didn't select any animals, because the icons were the same. Does that mean if I do a Fennec fox he'll have hot dog skin? I have MM2 - does that matter?

The icons will still be the same, so yes, just place a fox and he'll have the hotdog. :happy:

EDIT: Posted at the same time as RND lol
