Fantasyland

After you've played for a long time, you should get something called Mermaid Statue. Make a tank and place a mermaid statue in it. It will turn into a mermaid! They prefer not to be alone, though, so put another in.

Don't worry if they get angry when you put the statue in; they will get happy again when the statue turns into another mermaid. There are no mermen, sorry.

Also, make an exhibit. Name it Xanadu. Then look in your animals. You should have a unicorn! Male is black, with red mane. Female is white, with pale yellow mane.


I am new to this buisness so I don't know very ..

I am new to this buisness so I don't know very much so this is what I know:



*when you press shift & 4 you get 10 more bucks (hold down to get millions)



*When you call a zoo keeper Private Green on the 22nd of March the army will visate your zoo.



*When you put a mermaid statue in a tank it will fizz and then crack open. Put about 1-6 in the tank. (Don't wory the red faces when you put another statue in they just don't like the statue but when it hatches they will like it.)



That's all from me now see-ya!


For $10 000 at a time hold down shift and 4. T..

For $10 000 at a time hold down shift and 4. Though only do this at the beginning of a scenario as if done during the game, the cheat wares away the fences and all animals can escape. Hv fun !

If your animals are unhappy with your exhibit delete everything in the exhibit (not the fence or animal) and start over.



This helped me on saving the great cats scenario with the snow leopard...


Only works with Marine Mania Expansion... Plac..

Only works with Marine Mania Expansion... Place the mermaid statue(found among the objects tab that has the benches, fountains ect.)



Into a compleated tank. A mermaid will break out of the statue and swim around and sing, and have needs like any animal.



Add more statues, the mermaid will send up a sad face at first, but as soon as the statue turns into a companion she will be happy again.



Mermaid statue does require some research.

How to get the yeti

This is an easy way to get the yeti without risking crashing your game.

On the zoo tycoo start menu there is a title which says get new things for zoo tycoon well something like that anyway so you click on it and it come up with this box below....

The box it says check internet so click that and then the box will fill up- with things you can download scroll down and find the yeti click on it and wait about a minute to download.

Ps:you can also find lots of other things it that box like scenarios and items for your zoo. GAMER MONKEY


Magic pointer

In the game press ctrl and c at the sametime to change the pointer color


Lions and tigers and bears OH MY!

Make an exihbit and put a lion, a tiger, and a bear in it and you will get a yellow brick road.

Note: You don't have to keep the exihbit you can take it out of your zoo.

You would still have the yellow brick road sidewalk.


Unlimited amounts of money

To get a NUMEROUS amount of money, press the Shift key and the 4 button at the same time. Note: It's best to do this before you build your animal cages, otherwise the fences will deteriorate.


Terrain Benefit - No Cost

I was puttering around when I realized that when you install terrain, you don't pay for it until you close the screen.

What does that mean? That means you can add terrain to any exhibit to make a happy animal and as long as you don't navigate away from the buy terrain screen, it wont cost you.

With a profitable zoo, I am able to expand early and pay when you have money :D

Change Your Park Shape

To make your park resemble a certain country, name your park after that country. For example, label your park USA and your park will resemble the USA, or label it: Australia, Canada, England, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Russia, South Africa, China, Greece, India, Japan, etc.

If you call a guest Akiyama it will unlock all the scenarios.

SEYA



Unlimited Amounts of Money

For unlimited amounts of $$ click on the "4" key and the "shift" key at the same time. It's best that you do this before you build your animal cages because the fences will deteriorate.
