Dinosaur Zoo - Guest Problem
« on: April 09, 2007, 07:51:46 AM »
I tried the Dinosaur Zoo scenario today, and all seemed to be going splendidly until I found that I couldn't achieve the 150 guest mark to claim my free Triceratops. I got to 100, but since then, no other guests enter until one of those 100 guests exits.

What's the problem? I'd better not be something I need to uninstall/reinstall...the computer's had me do that too many times now.

There is a limit to the number of guests you can have in any zoo is 100 at once.  This is why a guest must leave before another one may enter.  There is however a hack available that increases your guests to 400 guests at once, however it is only for high-powered computers, and I don't think it works with expansions.  Please pay attention to the warning about editing files too, if you do decide to use the hack.  Otherwise you just have to wait for guests to leave :)

I don't think that's possible when the max number of guests in a zoo at once is 100.

The requirements do specify that 150 guests have to visit your zoo to get your Triceratops, right?

I'm sorry, you say that you're unable to complete the scenario objective, if you can tell me exactly what the scenario objective says then maybe I can help.

Edit:  I just checked for myself.  It says:

"You received a free Triceratops after 150 guests visited your zoo."

Therefore, you have to wait until 150 guests have visted your zoo, as I suggested in the first place.

I'll give it a go, but it is rather badly worded. It's as if it wants you to have 150 guests in the zoo at once, which (as you've said, and I've found out) is impossible.
