missing blueprints and building shells

[podna86]

I jus updated the game today and purchased the 2 newest DLCs. I went to play after everything was done downloading. Started a new sandbox and all of the building blueprints and skins are gone. All that I am able to place are the super basic facilities (both guest and staff). I have exited the game and restarted the computer. I have blueprints enabled. Not really sure what else to do. I submitted a bug report but just wondering if anyone here has experienced the same thing. I did a search and came back empty though I'm sure I'm not the only one.4

Thank you for your help!

I'd probably check a) that in your sandbox settings for that zoo you have research requurements turned on as it sounds like what you would start with if you needed to research the scenery themes. B) sounds stupid but it is quite easily done, check you started it in sandbox and not challenge mode c) try verifying the game files through steam (for instructions just put that into Google and follow what it says, it's pretty quick and easy).

Haven't seen anyone else with this bug so that is all I have I'm afraid. Is it just the one zoo? If you open a career scenario do they appear? If you place down a mechanics workshop can you research anything?

Thanks your first suggestion worked!
