Welcome

[Quivaz]

Thanks, Cricket! I still feel like this community is a small part of me and my journey. Looking back now, I can't believe it started nearly 16 years ago and that I was really only active for about 3 years. I feel like so much happened in that time frame and that I was able to contribute something that others enjoyed. So many new discoveries, inventing new ways to build content for the game, excitement for the expansion packs, and everything else. Wild times.

[Cricket]

I have always enjoyed your contributions to the community :D   

[Quivaz]

That is very kind of you to say! I always got a lot of enjoyment in knowing others used and wanted my work. Likewise, I always enjoyed what everyone else contributed in return.

Nice to see you. Have sent you a pm.
Now that Zoo Admin has gone we would like your files to remain available by hosting them here at the Directory and also ZooTek would love to have them too but we need your permission because ZA did not give permission to anyone to host its files when it vanished which means we need permission from the designers themselves.

[Quivaz]

You have all the permission in the world to host them wherever and however. They wouldn't exist without a site like this keeping them available. I'm just thrilled that something I made 15 years ago is still relevant!

On a side-note, I played around with the installation of the original game today and was able to get it running! I haven't played in over a decade! Next will be to find some great user-made content to add into it! :D

Thank you.   
Some things might need updating before release.
Between ZooTek and the Designer Guild there are plenty of things including coloured fences, tanks and lots of paths. Not to mention buildings.  So have fun hunting. If something is not available you can always request someone send it to you since many people have the files from many sites.

[Quivaz]

Yeah, I'll be taking a look around. I only got the original game installed. Can't find my discs for DD or MM, but this is enough to keep me happy for a while. I'm completely unaware of what might have been made after I left, especially when a lot of people might have moved on to ZT2 at that point.

[fern]

ZooTek is the refuge for ZT1 players. So is this place. Some of us could never get into ZT2. the posts here should say what files will work with the original. ZKL is still around too.

[Quivaz]

I'll connect over there then and stop taking over your 'Welcome' thread. :D

[fern]

You are welcome to stick around here but there will be more company for you over there. They still run contests even. Although ZKL is still around for downloads it is quiet compared to Tek. You might even recognise some people there too.

I think I still have things in the que for rotations that are a decade old. LOL Lots new to see. You're going to have fun!

[dr rick]

Great to see you back! Thanks for the permissions - that means more fun for all of us into the future!

Hi friends,I am new here english speaking small. I love the game, Zoo Tycoon,I would like to download new buildings and animals,but I have no access,do you advise me how to do it?

Welcome to ZTCDD.

This site lists downloads for other sites. When you see a download listing, you have to click the site name it shows to go to the site with the download. For example, the top of the download listing for the Australian Walkabout Exhibit looks like this:

Australian Walkabout Exhibit

ZT Designer Guild

Click Site name to reach the download


When you click "ZT Designer Guild", it goes to the ZT Designer Guild site so that you can get the download for that building. Every site does their downloads differently. For some sites, like ZT Designer Guild, there will be a "Download" to click to get the download. For some other sites, you have to be a member of that site to see or get the download. Some sites do not exist any more. So if "no longer exists" is shown, you will not be able to get the download from that site.

Good luck with getting the downloads you like. And Happy Zoo Tycooning.

Hi. I recently started wanting to make a few animals for Zoo Tycoon 1. I'm glad there seems to still be a few people left. I had a few questions. First, what happened to Zoo Tek Phoenix, why are all of their downloads holiday buildings? Second, is there a main Zoo Tycoon 1 community somewhere? Finally, I've got some old files from Zoo Admin and other lost sites. Do you want download links to them?
