Hacks

( ! ) Please install all official Zoo Tycoon 2 expansions before using any of these downloads, as could cause glitches, crashing, & corrupt save data if you don’t.

Delete Zoo Entrance Hack
Allows the front gate to be deleted with the bulldozer tool!
Guests can only enter from the front gate, so you will have to build a new gate if you want any visitors. Front gates can be constructed from the buildings tab, just scroll right until you see the “Zoo” icons. If you want to construct your own entrance with custom fences and roofs, there’s an invisible gate object that can be placed too.

Bugs: Placing multiple entrances prevents guests from entering.  & if the entrance isn’t placed exactly where it normally is (with the ‘zoo’ logo facing out) guests will spawn in weird places.

Silent Messages
Removes the noise of Zoo messages in the top bar.

Free-Range Overhead Camera
A faster and more versatile overhead camera.
You can zoom out to see your whole map, or zoom in for a nice first person view!

Select-to-Delete Zoo Walls
The walls around the perimeter of the zoo become selectable and sellable.

Invisible Zoo Walls
Turns zoo walls invisible.
( Though they’ll still get in the way, especially around the zoo entrance. )

Invisible Elevated Path
This download gives you an elevated path that is completely invisible!
Just construct a normal elevated pathway, put stuff on it, and then replace it with the invisible path to make things appear to float!

Invisible Parking Lot Cars
Makes the cartoony cars outside savannah maps invisible.
( Though there is still a shadow where the car is suppose to be. )

Skip Intro Movies
Automatically skip to the main menu on start-up.

Always Daylight hack
Keeps the lighting constant even when the sun goes down.
Also included is a tweak to the map’s fog, making it less colorful for realism.

No Rampage Hack
Keeps animals from going into a rage.

Pause in Zookeeper Mode
Makes the pause button available in first-person modes.
( Doesn’t work with quick keys. )

Terrain Brush Hack
Allows bigger/smaller terrain brush size.

Free-Running Animals
Allows animals to run free outside of enclosures without the “Animal-Name has escaped!” message.

Basic Herding (Animal AI)
Animals of the family bovidae or equidae will stay close to their herds.
(even of different species)

It’s great if you’re building a safari instead of a zoo.
( I was trying to use ZT2’s already existing herding/packing behaviors, but unfortunately haven’t been able to figure them out. )

Sleepy Kitties (Animal AI)
Makes cats (felidae) take more cat naps.
Looks more realistic since cats sleep a lot in real life.
