Description: Aventura Folklorica is a work in progress Mexican theme pack with pueblo themes and traditional Mexican elements. Currently includes a set of 8 new foodstands in colorful adobe architectural style, and sell tamales, pozole, churros, street tacos, churros, conchas, pan de muertos, and chimichangas.

Tools used to create the sprites:
    Blender 4.1 to create the 3D models and render them into 2D sprites
    Zoot 1.1 for ZT1 graphic conversion
    VS Code for configuration

Credits: Animations, design, modeling, and some configuration by me (Goosifer)
    Thank you to Jay for his massive help coding the pack and adding new strings for the sold food.
Notes by Jay (the coder)
Notes: To see the messages for these, the following are needed: LANG–ZTCDD.dll dated July 14, 2026; lang018.dll that comes with CC and was also an official download; LANG–fern-Tek.dll; LANG–ZKL.dll; LANG–ZooTek.dll.

4 of the stands use the name "Food Stand", 3 of the stands use the name "Snack Stand", and 1 stand uses the name "Hot Beverage Stand". Whenever more than 1 building use the same name, the highlight in ZT's purchase menu will move to the first one when the purchase menu is rotated or when ZT unlocks more things or when the purchase menu is reopened. One of the stands sells a Taco.

There is another user made stand that also sells a Taco. Both of these use different icons and slightly different characteristics. Since that stand and this stand use the same Taco messages, if that stand and this stand are in ZT at the same time, ZT will show the different taco images in the building information window for each stand, but ZT will use only 1 of the taco images and characteristics when ZT puts the taco in a guest's inventory. In general, it is unpredictable which taco ZT will choose for the guest's inventory.

(Configuration notes: removes money; can also be seen in the User Food/Drink purchase menu filter.)

Updated July 8, 2026 by Jay to make frame counts and animation speeds match for all views of each animation, to link to ZT's sounds and graphics instead of having copies, to have the preferred foliage tooltip show for the female and young, to have the animal like the preferred foliage as much as any other foliage, to have the young like the same exhibit as the adults, to allow ZT to check more often if tranquilizer darts hit escaped animals, to not have the animal stand, run, or lie on top of water terrain, to have the animal make a sound when rattling inside a crate, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, and to fix spacing, spelling, and grammar in the animal info.
