Hey all! It's been quite some time since I've updated here... let's change that! Here's a few pictures from my projects, be it Tiergarten Wilhelmsdorf, Riverbend Discovery Center, and Hope Island Zoo, my ZSU Zoo!

Bit of a Red Panda Habitat inspired by Turning Red! This was a wicked fun one to make, and you can check it out on Steam Workshop here!:

OH BOY! IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME WHERE I DROP THE DLC PICS!
Welcome to Boggy Bottom Zoo! I always love Animal Packs because you just get such a creative flow going on when you see all the new animals you can play with, and this one especially had me hooked! I was looking for the perfect way to intergrade so many of the new and some old species into this zoo, and I settled on a zoo nestled in the wetlands of Australia's Northern Territory!
The zoo is comprised of four main sections, those being:
Outback Trails, our Australian Section. This was my main excuse to squeeze the Platypus in here realistically, alongside other Australian species like Cassowary, Dingo, and Koalas!
That leads us into Reptile Roundup, which will host a slurry of various crocodilian species from around the world! The centerpiece of this section will be our Crocoseum, very much modeled after Australia Zoo's very own version of it. We're hoping to have Saltwater Crocodiles, Spectacled Caimans, Cuvier's Dwarf Caimans, and Gharials.
Following that you're greeted by Japanese: POP! This is our section based around animals and creatures that have found their way to popularity within the cultural zeitgeist that is Japan. Here we have only three species so far, the Red-Crowned Crane, the Capybara, and the Japanese Macaque!
Following that leads us to our last section, Asian Adventures. Daring name, I know! We have the rest of our animals located in here, specifically our newest ones being the Wild Water Buffalo mixed with Nile Lechwe (we just had no other place for them, they're friends, trust me!), as well as our Asian Small-Clawed Otters. They're also neighbors with Babirusa, a particularly precarious peccary with personality, and the Proboscis Monkey, whom we have a climbing frame going over this entire area for them once we get the chance.
And that's it for our plans, we'll keep you all updated as time goes on! See you in the NT!

I'm stealing all of your blueprints!!!
Awesome!
Really, really, great.
Boggy Bottom is officially done! It's up now on the workshop for you all to check out:

Leaf - if you a cracking and able to change files - can you do a transport vehicles option pack - you are your team of modders are doing amazing things - so could we expect that you can change the transport files for long monorail trains, more steam train options and other boats and things?
Had a lot of fun with this pack, and there's still so much more fun to be had!
Come check out the first episode of the new series here!:

Been having quite a bit of fun with the city zoo landscape! The City Conservation Center is coming along nicely, hope you guys are enjoying it!~
Beautiful!
And like that, another zoo is complete! If you haven't seen it already, Riverbend Discovery Center is a low-themed, but still modern zoo. I wanted to challenge myself to build beautiful and interesting habitats without relying on expensive theming or infrastructure. This resulted in a really awesome challenge for the most part, with some interesting building designs and choices that I haven't really been too accustomed with before! It's on the workshop now, if you want to check it out yourselves!:

Your builds truly are amazing! I have been struggling just to have that detail in the habitats! Any tips for foliage and rock work?

Paint! Go with your base colors with the grass and small shrubs, work your way up from there. Grass -> Bushes -> Shrubs -> Trees
Thank you for the advice! I am currently working on a snowy zoo with Timber Wolves, Siberian Tiger, Snow Leopard, and Pronghorn!
