Inspired by the old Zoo fan content sites and partially based off of the many iterations of the Zoo Tycoon series' official websites, Nano's Zoo 2 Zone is a nostalgia-fueled tribute to a period of Zoo Tycoon 2 history that passed many years ago. Though it is built with the tools for, and has the basic functionality of, a modern website, just about everything about it is designed to be evocative of the mid-late 2000's.
Though, as I write, there is no proper content yet hosted on the site, all of the content planned to be hosted here is in the style of the vanilla game, though I intend for most of it to lean closer to the slightly more realistic animals offered in Endangered Species, African Adventure and Marine Mania than some of the more explicitly cartoony offerings in the base game and Extinct Animals. Most content here, having been made with Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection in mind, will require all of the expansion packs and, for the best possible experience, all of the official downloads.
Though I would definitely appreciate credit being given where it is due, all downloads hosted here are free to be edited, upgraded and used as bases for new Zoo Tycoon projects. Things like space and biome hacks or variants and reskins are completely fine by me. Porting the content here to other, non-Zoo Tycoon games, like Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, is in a weirder spot; unless you can get in contact with me and ask permission, I'd rather this not be done.
Keep in mind that the above only applies to transformative works, please don't chop up parts of the downloads hosted here and release them standalone or in a different package without any meaningful changes.
Please don't do this. If you ever see a mod from Nano's Zoo 2 Zone like Folksy Facelift or Vanilla-Friendly Fixes uploaded to a place like Nexus Mods, GameBanana or ModDB, I did not sanction the mods being redistributed. If you're able, please file a report to get the mods taken down from those sites.
If you want to share a NZ2Z mod, just link back to Nano's Zoo 2 Zone proper.
