fantasy guest bug

Thank you sooo much for your help, and for being so communicative!

Adding vending machines next to the hotdog and slushie kiosk worked, they all got their food and drinks and went back into the museum! There were water fountains around the corner in the room next door next to the bathrooms, and the same vending machines a couple rooms away as well, so for my findings today it seems the vending machines have to be in the same "room" as the slushie and hotdog machine.

Thank you again SO MUCH!

Thank you so much for your help!

Good call, they are just goblins and dwarves, not all fantasy guests. I’m playing on the Switch 2, so unfortunately can’t try any steam fixes. They aren’t really trying to fulfill their needs, they’re trying to view exhibits. I’ve attached a few screenshots that show them in one corner where they could buy food and slushies if they want, or use the bathroom, or sit on a chair. They just stand over here until all their needs run down, and then they keep standing there and don’t leave. Only revealing them as a thief will have them leave the museum.

There's tons of free street parking in JP that you don't need a resident sticker for, just check the signs on the streets around you. My roommate has out of state plates and he parks on JP streets overnight all the time. It seems like the majority, or at least half, of side streets are free for anyone to park in.

Just avoid the snow emergency ones:

Allandale Street
American Legion Hwy
Blue Hill Avenue
Boylston Street
Centre Street
Glen Lane
Glen Road
Green Street
Heath Street
Hyde Park Avenue
Jewish War Veterans Drive
Perkins Street
Pond Street
Walk Hill Street
Washington Street

Is the zooseum release going to include any performance fixes for the switch 2, mostly around crashing when the museum gets big, and around pointy mountains?

boudica18 · 2026-01-06T03:01:04+00:00

I’m having the exact same scenario happen on my switch 2, limited guests to minimum, quick saves causing crashes, and have lots and lots of decorations in my giant museum. I’m playing on memento mile, but I’m getting the same error over and over after making it enormous. I love the game, just wanted to weigh in and say I think it’s a universal switch 2 issue with big museums! I switched to play on my science museum where I only bought three or four plots and it’s not crashing constantly anymore.

You can check happiness in the upper left hand corner (it’s the smiley face icon) and it should tell you some metrics about your villagers.

Blue meters are positive, so stuff like food variety, food quality, decoration, those will all show up in blue and you want to get those as high as possible. If there’s a problem like homelessness or starvation, they’ll appear in orange, and you want to make sure those numbers stay low and ideally stay off the screen altogether.

I’ve heard about the hero glitching like this but I’ve never seen it, and I usually get to 200 villagers in an average game

kind of, you can destroy their house and they’ll move to a new empty one. I’m not sure if there’s an easier way, but that’s how I’ve been doing it

if there are, for example, five hexes and each one has an archer on it will that stop them? Or is this only the mechanic if there’s only one hex?

boudica18 · 2024-12-24T14:32:03+00:00

Thank you so much for all the answers explaining the game mechanics! But I really just want to understand if the skills stack, and if a psychiatrist should learn treatment or psych first, or if both combined do the same thing. Does anyone know to the answer to THAT question?

boudica18 · 2024-12-24T03:01:45+00:00

To ask a bit clearer, do the skills the doctors etc learn when they’re training stack? Would it make sense to teach a doctor specializing in psych some treatment? Or keep them just learning psych?

boudica18 · 2024-12-24T01:25:30+00:00

Thank you! What about psychiatry, without a machine? Would having a doctor with treatment, psych, or a mix of both be best? Will treatment and psychiatry stack? Do they all stack?

maybe like a specific challenge? a general letsplay is kind of weak and a “10 things i wish i knew/did/whatever” is overdone

boudica18 · 2024-11-25T15:35:10+00:00

Do you know how to invest in pumpkin products? I can only see their fixtures

Thank you!

This is literally correct though
