Missing Sandbox settings since last update

[Gondwana]

@Jens Erik Hi Jens, sorry for the ping, but I've noticed a rather critical issue concerning the Sandbox settings.
I am pretty sure that there was a setting to turn on/off 'narrative events' for Sandbox mode, but that setting is now gone. Could you please forward this to the team. We are close to the next DLC and update I guess, so there is not much time left to fix it in time for the next one.

There is another issue concerning the night/day cycle.

The two options marked in red here are only available within a save game, but not in the actual Sandbox menu that you open in the main menu.
It seems that the latest reorganization of the menu interface created some issues with the options and settings.
There also might be a problem with live capture events. If I'm not mistaken, they are activated with the option called "expeditions and research", correct?
I can't remember the last time I got a live capture event. This might also be bugged and not working (anymore?).

I would really appreciate it if you could inform the team and these annoying issues could be fixed soon. Thank you

There used to be. It may have been intentionally removed, because I'm not sure narrative events were really a thing in Sandbox Mode, but I can double check.

Huh, that's interesting. I'll have to check if this is by design or not.

Yes, live capture events are part of Expeditions, but they happen randomly. I've had it happen maybe once or twice, and I've played Jurassic World Evolution 2 for hundreds of hours.

I'm almost sure that they kinda were, since there are even threads about this aspect. One user specifically mentions that for instance Ramsey Cole would appear with a dialogue in Sandbox mode, see here. So it's most likely as I mentioned above, when the menu interface got reorganized during the last update, this option might simply have been removed by accident. Just like the day/night cycle setting is now only available within a save game.

Alternate Character Narrators

Alright, so what if we had the option to choose our narrators when we play? As it is, the narrator's for our game sessions are Jurassic World characters (Claire, Owen, Isaac, Dr. Dua, Wu, Cabot Finch, George Lambert). But, what if we had alternate characters we could choose? It'd fit the...

This is such a waste of a great mechanic honestly. Could we not just get an option to increase their frequency? That would really be appreciated.

Hey again Gondwana! I don't have news to share about this.
