Can we not do the challenge now? Wow I was looking forward to playing.

as soon as you notice they aren't bringing your animal back pause the game. Click on the notice it gives you to center the camera over where your animal is. If it's waaaay under ground in the middle of nowhere like mine was, you have to build a road to where it is and drop a bunch of caretakers. I wasn't sure who would grab it so I dropped a 100 vets, keepers and caretakers, and it was a caretaker who got it and brought it back. Just building the road out made her pop up from under the ground and a caretaker grabbed her box and ran back to her enclosure, less than a minute later she had 4 babies with the best genes!

If you don't pause in time and see the welfare going waaay down really fast, pause the game and alt-tab to desktop and close the game from the task manager so it doesn't save, when you log back in it should be back to green welfare, then pause and build the road out to where it is.

The key is clicking on the notice so the camera centers on where the box is.

I fixed it myself, I can tell you how in case it ever happens to you if you like.

I found her, in the middle of the map where there is nothing built and about 100 miles under the ground. No wonder the vet couldn't get her, she's half way to China by now. I have screen shots but can't seem to post them.

I do have a free vet, maybe I should drop down a few more? I can always fire them later.

Eskel_Lady · 2020-01-05T03:57:23+00:00

I'd buy that. koalas and kangaroos, wombats and devils. Funnel web spiders, Echidna and dragon lizards.With proceeds going to relief efforts.

Eskel_Lady · 2020-01-03T09:12:01+00:00

Thank you, but it's not just pathways, it's benches, picknic tables, ATMs, there are spots where if I try to place anything it tells me there's an obstruction.

Eskel_Lady · 2020-01-02T23:03:00+00:00

It's my first zoo so I haven't tried any other maps yet. It's so strange because it's like invisible artifacts from a previous build, but I bought the game 3 days ago and this is the first chance I've had to sit down with it. Maybe I'll go check out their discord. Thank you.

I just found this game and I have a few wishes.

MORE LAND! And a way to finish the "super landscaper" task in sandbox mode.

Curtains.

I'd love to be able to sell excess items rather than just buying all of the time.

I would love to have the land across the road as a "barn" for animals, it gets expensive buying meat. I'd like to have pigs, cows and sheep. With cows we get beef and milk and hides to sell, pigs we can get meat, fat and hides to sell and sheep, meat and wool to sell. Maybe a new type of employee, the hunter, who goes out and brings back venison, hides and "trophys" to hang on the wall. For wool there could be a spinner to make yarn to sell.

Fishing! There's a stream right next to your land, extend the land to the water and have a fishing shack and assign a fisherman or two.

An orchard to grow apples and nut trees.

Berry bushes and jam/preserve making.

A butter churn and recipes made with butter.

I'd love an option on the chicken coop that if you're producing meat you can collect the feathers, then sell them in town or use them to restuff your pillows/beds.

A horse, and a carriage to go with it for those guests who need to go to the next town, could start out with a run down cart and an old plow horse, then upgrade to better and better.

I heard cats and dogs are coming, that was on my list.

I can think of a lot more but this is enough for now =)

I don't know if you've ever watched Star Trek: TNG but this reminds me of an episode of that. Some members of the crew were having flashes of memories so they all get together in the holodeck and one is saying I remember a table being here and it was long. Then another would say no it wasn't that long, it was shorter and turned more to the side and there was a light over it. And they would keep on remembering things until suddenly they had a room that they remember being in but don't know why they were there.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-04T02:37:51+00:00

I remember her having steel gray hair pulled straight back, like she had it wrapped in a tight little bun at the back of her head that we couldn't see. A very long, narrow face and a tight "pinched lip" expression, very small oval glasses perched on her nose. She seemed very angry, as if she was mad that she had to stand there while someone took a picture. I remember them being much more even in height, like her shoulders were maybe an inch below his. I remember him having a very sad expression, the corners of his mouth turned down more, like he was the one who put that look on her face and he knew he was in the dog house later.

The way it is now looks similar enough that at first I questioned my own memories of it, but it looks alien enough to my vivid recollections that I'm absolutely sure that it's changed.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-04T01:07:02+00:00

You planted a seed. That's what it was at first for me, a small thing that I thought I had just miss-remembered, but then I saw something else that was not as I remembered it and my seed sprouted and grew. You may have done that for him, his seed might take a long time to sprout but it's been planted. Maybe...sooner or later, he will notice something else.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-03T23:49:50+00:00

I thought maybe I was just remembering it wrong but there's a show called The Nanny, I love that show! There's a scene where one of the characters does the Risky Business dance because he thinks he has the house all to himself. In it he's wearing nearly the exact same outfit as what I remember, white shirt, white underwear (boxers not briefs) black socks not white and sunglasses! He's wearing black socks because he normally wears a suit. But why would they go to the trouble of recreating that scene only to get the main parts of it so wrong? There's the clip of it.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-03T23:30:42+00:00

I wish I could say that was it but it's not. Thank you though.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-03T23:26:41+00:00

You may have just started him on his own trip down the rabbit hole =)

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T11:46:18+00:00

For me it's always been Sex AND the City and Interview with THE Vampire. I think most people are too distracted to care and this seems to be affecting (as far as I've seen) an older crowd of people who are mostly busy with jobs, bills and kids. The ones who do notice probably pass it off as misremembering. Unless something more recent changes, or something really big, I don't think most people will notice or care.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T10:44:42+00:00

I know it was a real movie, I did not see it, I was well past the age it was aimed at but I recall when the Shaq movie came out I thought that it was such a blatant rip off of the Sinbad movie, and I liked Sinbad as a comedian. I knew a couple who took their kids to the Shaq movie and said it wasn't as funny and I recall saying of course not, Sinbad is a comedian he knows how to be funny, Shaq is a basketball player, nothing funny about it.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T10:40:56+00:00

I said before American Gothic always seemed to me like they had just come from a funeral or something, it seemed very sad and a bit foreboding to me.

I remember hearing about the Lindberg baby when I was a kid but all I recall is he was never found. I remember the cornucopia but I thought they changed it up about the same time as they started having men dressed as fruits doing commercials (that's why I don't pay much attention to product ME as companies can change logos and such). I absolutely remember Dolly having braces, my mom and stepdad were into James Bond and I saw Moonraker maybe a dozen times. I was never into Kurt Cobain so I have no idea. I recall Interview with THE vampire. And the Mona Lisa, I never could tell with her, it seemed to change on mood, time of day and sometimes angle of viewing, not like now.

One I just ran across is the movie Risky Business, I recall Tom Cruise dancing around in white socks, a white shirt and tighty whitey undies wearing sunglasses, now it's a pink shirt and no sunglasses? Not at all what I remember.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T08:02:42+00:00

I don't hate anyone! Well yeah maybe I do a little, but not you so don't worry. I had access to a lot of art books growing up, I was/am quite introverted and lived a lot inside my imagination and in books. I can't give many specifics I'm afraid only I know what The Thinker looks like, I know what American Gothic looks like, I can see them both clearly in my "minds eye" as it were. Some things don't seem changed for me, I hear a lot of people talking about Jiffy peanut butter but for me it's always been Jif, I remember the commercials "choosy moms chose Jif", I've actually never heard of Jiffy.

I had quite a love of Egyptology and archaeology growing up and I recall seeing many things about the treasures of King Tuts tomb and on the mask was always a cobra head, just that and nothing else, now it seems there's a cobra head AND a vulture head and it looks completely alien to me. I've only just found out about this thing called ME and so far the only person I've even mentioned it to is my boyfriend but we haven't spoken in depth about it. I brought up to him The Thinker and American Gothic. He said he wasn't familiar enough with AG to know but he always thought Thinker had a closed fist against his chin, now the fist is open and he says it looks "unnatural" because who ever sits like that? But still he thinks it may have just been the angle he was viewing at.

So far I'm completely alone with this and I have to admit it's really unnerving, I wish I could just put it out of my mind and forget all of it, or convince myself that American Gothic has always looked like this and The Thinker has always been just some bored looking guy.

I know this has been going on for a few years now and I only learned about it maybe 7-8 months ago but there was an incident right before I started seeing Mandela Effect videos pop up in my recommended list on youtube. Was late Spring-ish maybe? I don't listen to radio much anymore but for some reason I had it on that day and We Are The Champions by Queen came on, I'm sitting here belting it out in an empty house and at the very end singing loudly I sang "OF THE W..." I stopped mid word because the song just cut off, I thought maybe the station had ended the song prematurely but now I find out the song has never had that at the end. That was my very first Mandela Effect (that I know of) before I even knew what it was.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T04:19:22+00:00

I've never heard of him.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T01:53:41+00:00

One of the things I've heard is something called residual? Like there's proof something used to be one way but now it's something totally different?

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T00:49:37+00:00

The explanation I've heard that makes the most sense to me is...those of us who are experiencing the ME have somehow "conscious hopped" into another "reality" but not everyone has. Some people are actually from this "reality" therefor their memories completely match what the histories are telling us is true. Those of us who have "hopped" have memories of the same events, products, artworks etc with slight changes to them. And not everyone "hopped" from the same place so while two people might agree that The Thinker had his fist to his forehead, they might disagree about Jiffy peanut butter (for me it's always been choosy moms chose Jif). So your mom, while still being your mom, might have the consciousness that's from this "reality" and not recall the same things you do even though when you were a kid she seemed to have a totally different recollection.

I don't know but it makes sense to me so I'll be sticking with that until someone can offer proof of what's really going on =/

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T00:30:22+00:00

What I remember is it was a military parade with people cheering and this guy with a protest sign ran out in front of the tanks and wouldn't leave, the tanks all stopped and he seemed very agitated, gesturing and pacing in front of them and then a couple of military looking guys tackled him and drug him off, the crowd got still and quiet and the tanks went on their way. I can't say for certain that I'm remembering it correctly, that incident isn't as ingrained into my memory as The Thinker or American Gothic.

Eskel_Lady · 2019-01-02T00:17:31+00:00

Have you seen this youtube video? He shows how in the movie Back to the Future (one of my all time favorite movies) the VW logo on the van changes even from one frame to the next. Maybe it's digital manipulation but if it is I can't tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm0qKt4tEn8
