[steven90]

sorry i have no pics as demonstration but their is a pic in my zt2 zoos topic, all u have to do is us te elevated path, put it on a relitivly high settigand put it over a large area, zoom right in or make the path invisible and delete all of the supports inside it and then u can make exibits under it, make reptile houses, bird houses, monky houses or arctic houses!!!!

That's so awesome! I was kind of thinking of the same thing expect making the area under the elevated path some kind of shelter and animal could go into with some kind of fence around it(one could be created to fit right if nothing does) so it's kind of like a shelter they have in some real zoos. Kind of stupid, I guess, but it was just a random idea of mine.

*GASP* I get IT!!!!! That's a GREAT idea!!! So until BF makes houses, we can do it ourselves!!! Improvisation...the tool of the human race.  :lol

Thats a great idea! It's very realistic! Good thinking!

 :blush Thanks. You could actually go into this shelter and food and water and all that could be placed in it, too. You could also close it off with a fence with the animals in there for some insane reason, but that's what they do at real zoos when they need them inside. Some nest-like shelters are also small enough to fit in it.

[otusasio451]

I tried it, and it DOES work. It's GREAT becuase you can provide "shelter" for the animals in a way, and you can put stuff on the roof!!!!! I have a huge platform with little peeking holes for guests above my chimps and lemurs. I'm playing the Second Generation Scenario. It's a GREAT idea!!!!

[PurpleHippo]

If someone could make the stone fence larger and a purple fence or something so it would fit with the elevated path at its lowest point, my idea would totally work! :lol The fence could also be used for reptile houses so it's like an actual building(guests can go under it with the columns all deleted) and I wish there was a way to delete the fences on the elevated pathways. Is there...? Because then it would be perfect! Can anyone do this?

Nope. It's surreal seeing elevated paths floating in midair...

[Trex]

I've found a cool way to make almost real houses! Make your exhibits with something clear(that's where the guests will see them) make sure to make an outdoor exhibit with food, water bowls/troughs, and shelters. Then, on the inside, put toys and such in there so the guests will have fun watching the animals have fun. Then, make put a concrete(or brick) fence around the the house with two open spots for people to go in and out. Then, with the elevated path, make a roof that almost perfectly fits the exhibit and viola! An animal house!!!

[PurpleHippo]

That's just about exactly what Steven said. :huh

[Trex]

Not quite, he only uses the elevated path, not using a fence to make walls.

[german_shepardgal9]

ya i agree with trex and ive never thoyght of using the elevated path to make a house! how creative steven!

Well, that's exactly what I said.*look down*

Wierd, this is the first time I've been here and I just put that!

 :blink What?

[Trex]

I mean I haven't looked at what people have said.

Ok, sorry. I guess it's not a big deal. Kinda funny we came up with the same idea though.:lol Can anyone make that fence I mentioned so we could make real buildings and shelters? I can't do anything like that. :sad

[Trex]

It's a real good way to breed highly endangered animals as well!
