I checked the Himalayan Brown Bears in the other scenarios where I know this animal is available - same story: none to be had in any saved scenario. I converted one of these scenarios to a Sandbox zoo, and the bear was available. And after opening my Twiltight scenario again - there they were: 3 lovely bears for purchase in the market.
Well, the reporter came, but the previously recorded crime rate never changed in the scenario goals. I had cameras everywhere and spammed each workzone with guards long before the reporter came; there is really nothing else to do. Too many people and too many pockpockets to stay below 8 incidents. I closed the zoo to get rid if the over 5000 guests and then opened it again with even higher entrance prices. This time, with so many fewer guests in the zoo, the actual crime rate was really low during the entire visit, but it was not recognized in the scenario goals, which still remained at 18, the number that probably was recorded during the very first reporter visit since this number never changed.
I also powered everything with renewable energy. This goal is also not recognized.
