OK. Here are some pics: it's sort of a botanical garden. Put foliage to make it look like it has sort of been planted. Also for this climate only put plants that look like they could survive. I hope this helps more!

That is amazing Hamikis! I love your style. The efect on the pic makes it look really realistic. Some of the plants that looks crappy together in my game look wonderful there. Great job!

Thank-you for the set Daniel. ;D

Does someone have some suggestions for a savannah? I kinda imagine how to main savanna exhibit will look like, however I need some suggestions for some smaller exhibit around the main exhibit. ;)

i'm not sure, softshells can be quite aggressive, but i guess you could try if you give them enough space (and remember to use a substrate where they can bury themselves).

I personally wouldn't. In my experience of seeing soft shells (I've seen loads, dunno why! xD ) they have only been kept with fish of a similar if not larger size then themselves. Once I saw them with another species of turtle (not a soft shell). It might be possible. Will there be any other animals in this exhibit?

Look on the previous page at my other post that had a sort of country feel to it. You can use similar foliage to that but make it look more perfect and less random if you know what I mean. ;)

What do we think of this foliage?

Please tell me how I can improve :D By the way, this will become a rescue & rehab centre, and is set in Kenya, though I'm not sure where exactly in Kenya yet. If you think it looks like a certain place, please say!

I recon it looks really good. I suggest perhaps not placing two of the same rock, even if it's rotated, in the same vicinity. And the large cactuses look a little to large to fit the foliage. Also I suggest following the opposite principle when placing trees than rocks. Try to place them in clumps. Other than that it looks really good. ;)
