Nobody Watch The Otter Show, Can't Win!
« on: February 22, 2005, 05:16:29 PM »
anybody with some tips/hint would be good now. ...I'm playing the MM show animals (where you have to had 4 shows and have $500 profit for each show)... I've managed to satisfy the game requirement for the orca (take almost 7 months to make $525), dolphin (4 months to get $530 something), and sea lion (got $800 in 3 months :blink: )...... the weird thing is the last required animal show, sea otter... show tank and "home" tank is properly connected because there's that connecting door.... grandstands are 1 tile away from the show tank walls and all sides are surrounded by sidewalk, all side of show tank walls are made from visible glass wall.... what do I miss? the weirdest thing about this sea otter tank is grandstand's financial statement stays at $0 (doesn't make profit and doesn't have loss), although the months are growing older accordingly..... I have 2 show toys for sea otter on the show tank. *scratches head* :huh: ..what else? there are people walking around the show tank, some kids just peek into the tank, but none of the adults seem to care to sit on the grandstands, they're walking pass them just like there's nothing in the way...... :o

I'm lost....... :unsure: :huh:

You could try getting rid of your grandstands and getting new ones, one time i had one that seemed to be "stuck" and it just stopped holding people.  You could try researching better tricks, and customize the show.  Put another popular exhibit or something to do (carousel) and a restaurant so they will be more attracted to that area.

Also double check and make sure that there is a specialist assigned to the tank and that it is set up to have shows frequently.

Another tip for this scenario - make sure you do one show at a time (no orca show for example), and limit the number of rides and other "attractions".  This way, they will make sure to attend that one instead of something else.
