If you don't use the Steam version of the game with the most recent (Aspyr) patch, needless to say this doesn't really matter for you, as you don't have Workshop support for your title anyway.įirst, it's important to reiterate that the Workshop is only available on the Aspyr patch of the game (not the 'legacypc' beta install option) on Steam. If you'd only like to see an explanation of why you should be downloading mods manually, skip on down to section #3. I'll first briefly explain how mods installed from the Workshop work, then detail situations where using the Workshop is sensible before explaining why using the Workshop is generally not a good idea. I can't count the number of issues I've had to troubleshoot as a result of the Workshop and I know its systems and limitations in detail, so I feel fairly qualified to explain what makes the system inadequate compared to the standard methods the community uses for mod installation. These can be animal structures made for different species' specific needs like climbing, pretty kiosks for customer use, or extravagant decorations for all-around use.Holocron requested that I go into some general detail for the community about why the Steam Workshop is generally bad for modding, both to have all the issues laid out and easily referenced, and to clarify some common misconceptions. Modders create unique habitats and stores for different themes and animals.
The most popular mods on Steam Workshop are habitats. It only takes one second for Steam to access the correct Planet Zoo files and enable any Workshop mods available. The moment you subscribe to a mod using Steam Workshop, it's instantly installed into your game. To download mods from the Workshop, all you have to do is find something you like and then press Subscribe. Another way to get to the Steam Workshop page is to hover over the Community tab in Steam and click Workshop, then search for Planet Zoo. By going to the game in your Steam Library, there will be multiple headings under the Play button such as Store, Discussions, and Workshop. If you own the game on Steam instead of another platform, this is the absolute easiest way to apply mods.
