I just made a really ghetto version of Sophie's Scenery Pack 3 with the Dark Building Set. xD I might try and use it for Etosha and make some really generic exhibits. I really just kind of want to have fun with the GZS and be able to run around in the enclosures with the animals and watch them. Does anyone think that my gray brick set and Sophie's Scenery 3 would blend well?

Mmm i'm not so sure to be honest Komori, but you should try. Only trying you will see if they go well together. By the way, i change the maned wolf exhibit from savanah to grassland, it looks much better in my opinion, but i'm still having problems with finding a good foliage combination for it.

And caviar, take a look at my aviary at IguaZOO in Gaia, that could give you some ideas for the tropical hall and i also think that Oakley zoo has one. Like Furka said, it depends on what kind of animals you want to put in there: reptilians? birds? mammals? a mixture?

Yes it is Dragonfire! You have to do this:
1- Download the sky you want
2- Change the .xml files and all the files name to the name of the biome you want the sky to appear in.
3- Make sure you don't have any other sky for that same biome.

Example:

1- Download grassland map
2- Open the file with 7-zip/Winrar and modified the .xml data and the name of the files; everytime the "grassland" word appear replace it for the name of the biome you want the sky to appear in (let's say, temperate forest).
3- Make sure you don't have a temperate forest sky download, if you do, remove it from the download folder.

This had worked for me in the past several times. If you have any doubt let me know and i will try to explain it to you in a more clear way (if i can).

Yes just download one of the hacks for grassland all. Then change the grassland dds in the grassland file to the one you want, then you place them both back in and you're done. It takes way less time then doing all that coding.

It might take less time but that hack only works for grassland sky... if he want to put let's say a rainforest sky in a temperate forest map he will have to do what i told him :/

Definitely alpine with boreal and temperate foliage/biome patches. For the zoo, I'd suggest something old-school looking, with lots of old-looking buildings (from the times when the Soviet Union still had enough money xD ) but that recently has been renovated. So modern exhibits in older buildings :)

I agree with Stephen for the buildings and enclosures :p But for the biome I think you can use alpine if the zoo is located in the deep land, or coastal/grassland/scrub if it's near the coast. For the foliage, I'd use small trees and temperate foliage vegetation :)
