Where Are The Folders For Downloads

Installing Zoo Tycoon Downloads[/b][/SIZE]


Animals. objects, buildings, packs etc go in:

C:/documents and settings/All Users/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon 2/Downloads


Saved zoo's go in:

C:/ Documents and Settings/Your Username/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon 2/Your Profile Name/Saved

If you cannot find these folders they may be hidden on your pc.  You will have to change the properties of the folder.

Open Windows Explorer, Click on Tools, Click on Folder Options, then View Tab . Then check select show hidden files and folders.

An Alternate way for installing downloads

If the above path for downloads does not work for you I sudgest you try this solution found by csleesburg

Well, some of us have had that problem and the solution (just applies to ZT2 and ZT2 ES) seems to be:

1) after unzipping (you will need WinZip) the files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
2) inside that folder, you'll see another folder, created by the MAKER (e.g. exitree, penguinman, martin1990)
3) inside THAT folder will be yet ANOTHER folder (e.g. arctic fox), plus a .dl file also called arctic fox
4) cut the zoo tycoon 2 file (inside that 2nd folder) and paste it next to the arctic fox .dl file
5) Now you have two files side by side, both named arctic fox
6) then, take both THOSE files (artic fox.dl and arctic fox.zoo tycoon 2) and CUT and PASTE them into
7) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
8) This virtually always fixes the problem

Some computers are configured differently, and some won't 'recognize' those individual folders. Mine, for instance, won't. I always have to do the above to get my downloads to work. Hope that helps!

Your Downloads folder is located here. If the number on the folder is different in your game it's fine it just means your version of the game is something other than English. Different languages will ahve a different number on this folder.



And for anyone else looking for the folder this pic should help you find it a little better. You use windows explorer

this is where you will find the folders that hold your screenshots and the saved folder for your saved zoos.

The Photos folder holds all of your screenshots and the saved folder holds all of your saved games.

The saved folder is where you place any downloaded user zoos. When you start up Zoo Tycoon 2 click on load game and you can load the user zoo you downloaded.
