This is a project that started small and got a bit out of hand…
TheNinthWave recently converted a number of animals from Zoo Tycoon 2 as deco for TS2. However these meshes contained all the mesh states of each animal, meaning each animal had several meshes overlapping each other, which looked silly and used unnecessary polys.
So I figured, I can fix these… To make a long story short, I dug out other Zoo Tycoon 2 conversions from years ago, by Hydromancerx and Tazmanoregon, and also found the original source for the extracted meshes, by valforwing at TheModelRescource. I’ll convert a few more while I’m at it, I thought…
So, here are 56(!) animals, re-using the GUIDs from Hydromancerx, Tazmanoregon, and TheNinthWave. So, if you have any deco animals by the above creators, please remove them before adding mine to your game- I have renamed mine! Some animals have been replaced with different animals as the creators had converted some of the same animals.
- TNW’s animals have had the extra mesh states removed, making them better looking and lower poly.
- Hydro and Tazman’s animals have higher quality textures, so they’re also better looking. Also some meshes have been re-converted from the originals extracted by valforwing.
- Many animals have been resized to be more in scale with the Sims.
- All animals have re-written and corrected descriptions, and some have recolours. They are are all found in Misc -> Pets, because that’s where I have deco animals in my game; I have re-priced them as well, since the prices were all over the place.
