Convert franchise to sandbox?

I have a franchise zoo that is failing financially but it's kind of sad to let it go since I spent hours building it nicely. Can't we have a way to convert it to sandbox so I can still continue with the park's design and probably figure out what went wrong since there's unlimited money.

This sound like a good idea, although I think people will ask for it reversed too, and I don't think that's a possibility :p

Franchise mode should be off course special and can't have reversed but I don't see any problem for other offline modes that we have like challenges.
My thoughts was that this conversion might be suitable.

Franchise -> Sandbox
Challenge -> Sandbox
At least for those that want to create a large pre-made park in the beginning but also want the challenges of financial later on once they've laid the base foundation.
Sandbox -> Challenge

why not open franchise zoo 2 that financially supports zoo1 and take all the good bits from 1 and put them in 2?

I have a less than optiomal european zoo that feeds into my better zoo. No loss of cc, no loss of good animals

instead of a conversion, why not an option to make a copy of the savefile to sandbox, so you can freely try out new things while still being able to go back when you're done experimenting

I agree with this, been searching for a while now to see if there is a way to do this, but can't find one.

I love franchise mode, and I love the zoo I have created in the game using franchise mode, but I'm done with this particular zoo, I'm not gonna change anything about it and don't want to. I want to somehow export it to save it so I can either play it offline, or I can share it online with other people or friends and family that play this game.

I would love something like this - searched around a bit to see if this was an option already, but I can't find one, either. I think the option to import a Franchise Zoo into either Challenge or Sandbox would be great (while still keeping the original copy as a Franchise zoo), as well as importing Challenge zoos to Sandbox. Sandbox to Challenge could be a possibility (if people want to "cheat" and make a large zoo in Sandbox with no money worries and then take it into Challenge then that's their prerogative, I think :p), but obviously taking any zoos from other game modes into Franchise would be a no-go.

Yeah any way would work as long as I get to play it in sandbox.

I don't know exactly how blueprints works, but is there not a way to save your whole zoo as blueprint and then put it in Sandbox ? You'll probably need to buy new animals, but in Sandbox you'll have unlimited money so it shouldn't be a problem.

It is very hard, but here my steps to sav as much as possible.
First place some markers , like pyramids, in the air above every habitat. save the habitats as blueprint
Next step: mutliselect the entire zoo ( or if it is to much, stuff sections) including the pyramid-markers and save it/them as regular blueprint.
Remove the habitat, or at least the doors. create a big habitat around the zoo, or the stuff you need. Save this again as habitat.

Why these steps... blueprints as habitat save the terrain, but not every construciton piece. The regluar blueprints save every construction piece but not terrain.

In your new zoo, reconstruct slowly. Take the pyramids as anchorse that cover each other, to get the right positions.

To much work?
Yes...and you still loose your paths...and in many cases you wont be able to recreate them....So maybe start a new one
