I've literally been waiting forever for these videos. I love how James plays the game; he knows enough so it's not frustrating and not so much that it's too quick. Also I just like his personality.
Hey James, those exhibit education boards you tried to put down at the beginning of the video weren't working because they are only for exhibit animals (snakes, bugs, lizards...the ones that go in the little cages). You want the HABITAT education board for the bigger animals in your zoo.
Deli: don't take out loans. All my animals are diseased. And now they're dying!! James: sweet! Free money for no crime! Babies! Expand my habitats!! This is awesome!!!
James, for the barrier, you can program your mechanic to come manage it every 3 months (it's every year, on default). When you click on the habitat, there's a tab for the mechanic :)
I just love how James' and Deli's Planet Zoo videos are so different. Like, while James is just sittin' there relaxing and making a nice zoo, Deli's zoo is literally crumbling and burning with all the living things dying.
just watching Don’t think it really matters, he’s not exactly short on space and I always make habitats bigger than they need to be, it’s nicer, plus when he gets another one or if they have babies they’ll need more space.
indeed but the sims became a chore because the expansions dont offer any gameplay or challenges. but im still keeping my fingers crossed for university, hopefully this one wont be a lot down
I think the fact that this game is brand new is quite enjoyable too, James's content has been almost exclusively sims for years. A bit of a change is always enjoyable, espacially when it is your job to play games
Ariane P yeah totally agree with this. The witch expansion was so incredibly disappointing. I swear sims 3 supernatural offered more content for witches. It's sad honestly.
It’s better to put the animals through quarantine before putting them in the enclosure, it allows you to find out if they have diseases and get them fixed
James: “Crocodiles can’t jump so we can have a short fence” Clearly he hasn’t seen the video of the alligator in Florida literally climbing a chain link fence
I just finished up living in Florida for two years. I didn't see one gator the whole time I was there. After all of the media I had seen, I expected to be racing them to my car in parking lots 😆
I live in FL near the theme parks. I’ve been to Gatorland in Kissimmee and YES THEY CAN JUMP! They have a whole show illustrating Alligators jumping abilities.
I find it funny that in most zoos, staff quarters are a "negative" thing to see. Then you go to Australia Zoo and the "train" driver will point out the staff area as it is also the original homes on the lot and actually pretty dang cool
It's like that in the US, too. At the San Diego Zoo, they actually have programs and tours where guests can go behind the scenes. They're crazy expensive, too, and still sell out. My husband and daughter went behind the scenes for the elephants. It was like $400 for one adult and one 5yo. And the tour was completely full. But they saw all the staff buildings, helped make dinner for the elephants, even got to go into the veterinarian area and watch (from behind glass) an elephant get its mouth/teeth examined. It's the one thing I think Planet Zoo got wrong. Literally everyone loves seeing the staff areas and seeing how the animals are cared for.
Hey James! I've been meaning to tell you from your first video of Planet Zoo, I recommend building the Quarantine Zone, because if you get animals from the Trade, and put them in the exhibit without having them go through Quarantine, they can be adopted/bought injured or hosting a disease that will spread throughout the exhibit! (BUT IF YOU DID BUILD A QUARANTINE IGNORE THIS COMMENT, IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I NOTICED FROM YOUR FIRST VIDEO.) I binged this game because I've been waiting for a tycoon game like this for the LONGEST. Love that you're playing it too!
James you probably unlocked the food quality for the wolves already Also, yes. The crocodile needs a water bowl/pipe because they're dumb enough to not drink from their lake
James in the sims 4: “give me every piece separately” Planet zoo: “here we give you all individual pieces you can put together in anyway you would like” James: “nah I just want a complete set” Also you could always look for buildings on the workshop
James: this game is relaxing Deli: AHHHHHHH Also, did anyone notice that the days pass by SO quickly while the people are walking at a regular pace? 🙃 like it takes these people DAYS to walk maybe 10ft?
you can change the visit scheduale so enclousures get cleaned more often you also need to change the food quality in the feeders for the wolves since you've researched them a lot
anonymous person Ohhhh. Very helpful. I am finding this game very complex with not enough tutorials at my ‘never played anything but Sims and Zoo Tycoon’ beginner level. I had been expecting the game to be as easy to learn and use as Zoo Tycoon. Boy was I wrong!
I want to see more. You could literally makes these 2 hours long and I would watch. I want this game so bad. You and Deli both are great and making the habitats looks awesome!
I was so hoping you'd do a series, I loved the beta episodes, and I just binged Part 1 and 2. Can't wait for more, keep it up! I love watching your content :)
I love this game so much. Im obsessed with watching people's videos, it brings back all of my zoo Tycoon memories (but without the stress of going broke & having to close down bc it's not my zoo!)
Love these videos! Couple things though: You should add a viewing area on the back of the Komodo dragon exhibit You might want to make the crocodile exhibit smaller so people can see it better Also I heard that water filtration is needed for every exhibit for their drinking water or else they’ll get sick but I’m not exactly sure about that one Overall these are really fun videos tho and thanks for making them!
I'm living vicariously through you because I can't afford the game, don't have a good enough laptop and am a student so I don't have time, so please keep these videos coming!
Honestly wouldn't mind if the episodes of the Planet Zoo gameplay were released longer or more often, even if it meant to cut off some of the Sims-related content! These are such a joy to watch, the Planet Zoo provides the content so wholesome you don't grow tired of it. Thank you, James!
Just finished the first episode and I’m really enjoying it. I live vicariously through you cuz I’m a mom of a 20 month old playing Sims and other computer games is just not happening lol
Kudos to all of the people who involved in this magnificent game! They are so into details. Even they put the animals' names based on local tounge. I'm from Indonesia and I noticed some of the name like the Komodo's name was "Bulan" and it means "Moon". Also the crocodile's name was Intan and it means diamond. They put a lot of effort for this game! And please continue this episode, James!
A high fence for crocodiles actually does make sense. In Sydney Aquarium they have (or at least had when I was there) a crocodile enclosure with a sign „Don‘t climb the fence. If the fall doesn’t kill you the crocodile will.“
James, you're like one of the only Planet Zoo let's players who doesn't cut out or time lapses the building parts. So please continue! I love these PZ videos :D
James! I’d love to see more planet Zoo please! Also, with the animals you need to click on the enclosed and go to the animals tab and change the food grade quality from Grade 1 to Grade 3 (once your research is high enough on the animal) Also with seeing how many animals are in the habitat you do the same thing it’ll show you how many males and females are in the habitat. And you also can’t use the exhibition boards you need to use the habitat boards for your animals in you habitats. The exhibition boards can only be used on the exhibition animals, they have their own separate exhibition enclosures. They are two separate categories.
Hey James, so cute to see you trying this game out, it is a challenge to get going, I wish you the best of luck, I do suggest if you wanna up the food quality you need to click on your habitat fence and then under the animal list in that habitat you can change the food quality, and also you should include staff rooms in your work zones as well, otherwise your guys might travel across the zoo anyways if one staff room is full. Another tip, if you place the education speakers next to the donation bins, It encourages even more donations. :) And also, you might want to adjust the scheduled maintenance on your enclosures, which you can do from selecting the fence of the enclosure and in one of the last little tabs there, you can change how often the mechanic will check for repairs and how often a vet will visit (not sure if vet visits matter atm), you can do a similar setup for your water treatment and transformer since by default they only get checked like once every 6 months or something silly, and they break down a lot, so id recommend setting it to monthly checkups. Maybe every 3 months works also, the notifications can get a bit annoying with a bigger zoo however. XD
Since I'm poor and can't afford this game (I'll wish for it for christmas, thoguh) I'm living for this series. I'm not even mad about the fact that there haven't been a sims 2 update in forever because this is amazing. Also: as a reptile lover/owner I really appreciate that you have more reptiles than mammals right now (eventhough that'll probably change in the next part)
I absolutely love these videos James is just sooo good at the game and is really funny. Keep up the good work. P.s. you should also add a vet clinic by the crocs.
Love these videos. Would love to see the superimposed feed of James moved to a different section of the screen that doesn't cover up half the UI! Would love to follow along because I'm living vicariously through these videos until I finish my dissertation and buy the game lol
James mocking his own voice while mocking himself with his own avatar is the James inception I love
James: Playing Planet Zoo, Relaxed
Deli: Playing Planet Zoo, Zoo falling apart and Stressed
エウテルペ her animals started dying😭😭
😂😂
It was so sad
Sheina Alawode I know😭
Because she rushes too much and dosent actually bother to learn about game mechanics 😂
James: "Baby time.... Baaaaaaaby"
....
Me: "THeRe'S AnoTHer BAbY!!!"
I was waiting for him to notice the second one😂
Yes i was like uhh twins!!!
yes i was waiting till james noticed it but apparently not
Samwww
!!!!
james: *does impression of himself*
and with a different voice... for reasons
When James was looking at the sky he actually wanted to cloudgaze with someone...
look you got likes
You know pay toilets are illegal in America because of four high school students in the 70’s.
@@tormclean9657 other countries have pay toilets?
@@laurenarigo3894 Are you sure about that?
Kerri Clark yes I am you can look it up there is a whole wiki page dedicated to it.
I've literally been waiting forever for these videos. I love how James plays the game; he knows enough so it's not frustrating and not so much that it's too quick. Also I just like his personality.
Omg! I feel the EXACT same way😂
I agree but Deli playing the game is more relatable for me and that helps me push through my own stress with the game!
Thanks! I’m really enjoying playing it so far :)
So true
same!!
Jame so carm and relaxed. Meanwhile deli is failing at zoo life and stressing out with intense music playing XD
Who's Deli?
@@alicemonroe554 deligracy (sorry if I butchered her name)
Hey James, those exhibit education boards you tried to put down at the beginning of the video weren't working because they are only for exhibit animals (snakes, bugs, lizards...the ones that go in the little cages). You want the HABITAT education board for the bigger animals in your zoo.
Ahh thanks!
@@JamesTurnerYT No problem! Great video. Keep it up, I can't wait to see how big and cool you can build this zoo!
Thanks for the tip - it’s the million and one things like that which I am struggling with
was gonna comment this, I made the same mistake but realised I had the wrong one when I could only choose from my exhibits
I made the exact same mistake as well.
Deli: don't take out loans. All my animals are diseased. And now they're dying!!
James: sweet! Free money for no crime! Babies! Expand my habitats!! This is awesome!!!
Spot the difference

Either make this longer or batch produce these episodes! LOVE IT!!!
yessssss agreed
James: *creates an enormous enclosure for his one crocodile*
Also James: How do we make this look nice? It's just so big is the problem :/
the size physically pains me like he could so easily make that into 2 or 3 enclosures
I understand that he made the party too big but he could've just left space for future enclosures
I know this isn’t a Sims build because James immediately thought of adding a bin. 😄
i can't believe this is my fav let's play from you and it ain't even the sims
James, please give some assistance to Deli.....
PLEASEEEE SHES NOW EMOTIONALLY BROKEN 😂😂
I like your green screen image, half hanging out in your game.
James: “I find this game so relaxing”
Deli: “How NOT to play Planet Zoo”
Ok! somebody link this Deli video so I can watch it!!
Hangry Zombit you can just go on her page.
You and Deli are tempting me huge time to purchase this game...
ByunBaekoned I legit bought a whole ass laptop so I could play this game 😂😂
I bought it just to find out its Windows only 😭
So sad I can't afford it right now they make it look so fun 😅
@@rebeca3694 Oof, I can play the game for you. :p
i would say go for it. i haven't even played the sims since planet zoo came out, it's really fun with actual challenges.
Why don't you cut more room out for the staff area and cut like a quarter off and put another animal who doesn't need much space next to it.
just watching Don’t think it really matters, he’s not exactly short on space and I always make habitats bigger than they need to be, it’s nicer, plus when he gets another one or if they have babies they’ll need more space.
I love that you used a super deep fake voice when impersonating yourself
is it me or does he look like he enjoys this more then the chore the sims have become?
indeed but the sims became a chore because the expansions dont offer any gameplay or challenges. but im still keeping my fingers crossed for university, hopefully this one wont be a lot down
lets hope
I think the fact that this game is brand new is quite enjoyable too, James's content has been almost exclusively sims for years. A bit of a change is always enjoyable, espacially when it is your job to play games
I cant agree more.

It’s better to put the animals through quarantine before putting them in the enclosure, it allows you to find out if they have diseases and get them fixed
James: “Crocodiles can’t jump so we can have a short fence”
Clearly he hasn’t seen the video of the alligator in Florida literally climbing a chain link fence
😨 I'm so glad I live no where near Florida
I became so stressed when he said that. 😂 Just imagine a saltwater crocodile escaping and roaming around the zoo.
Glad I live in the uk 😅
I just finished up living in Florida for two years. I didn't see one gator the whole time I was there. After all of the media I had seen, I expected to be racing them to my car in parking lots 😆
I live in FL near the theme parks. I’ve been to Gatorland in Kissimmee and YES THEY CAN JUMP! They have a whole show illustrating Alligators jumping abilities.
James doing an impression of himself 😂😂😂 the self awareness is real
Apparently James can't Math as that croc enclosure is over 5x the size it needs to be NOT 4x the size LOL.
Either way, it’s COLOSSAL
31:54 it was at that moment james decided to really become one with the zoo
Thank you for this video. Finally i can watch someone play this game without getting anxiety over how they mess up lol
Geekism has a lot of Planet Zoo content and his builds are amazing!
I find it funny that in most zoos, staff quarters are a "negative" thing to see. Then you go to Australia Zoo and the "train" driver will point out the staff area as it is also the original homes on the lot and actually pretty dang cool

James charges $0.20 to use the bathroom: “because we’re poor”
Have you not been watching Deli’s planet zoo videos

Also, yes. The crocodile needs a water bowl/pipe because they're dumb enough to not drink from their lake
Smart* in the wild, the lakewater is really dirty
I thought that they just could not drink saltwater. And need fresh water from the bowl/pipe.
i love that all the animals are super detailed and realistic looking while the visitors all look like they're made of play doh lmao
James in the sims 4: “give me every piece separately”
Planet zoo: “here we give you all individual pieces you can put together in anyway you would like”

James: what a relaxing game
Deli and Lilsimsie: why are all of my animals diseased??
All I've got in my head when James talked about the crocodile fence, is that clip of an alligator climbing a 6ft fence like it was nothing
Please go help Deli with her zoo she’s struggling HARD
James: I find this game so relaxing Deli: IF THIS PANDA DIES I DIE
Love it, James!
I can't afford planet zoo and I'm really sad about it, but when I watch your series I feel like I play it myself. It's so much fun!
James: this game is relaxing
Deli: AHHHHHHH
Also, did anyone notice that the days pass by SO quickly while the people are walking at a regular pace? 🙃 like it takes these people DAYS to walk maybe 10ft?
James should do themed areas for the zoo, for instance he should do a tropical themed area or a jungle theme, like so he can see.
you can change the visit scheduale so enclousures get cleaned more often
you also need to change the food quality in the feeders for the wolves since you've researched them a lot

Love how you missed that there was more then one wolf pup
I was waiting for him to realize that XD

Baby wolf is so smol and fierce! Must protect and love! 🐺

I'm loving the Planet Zoo playthroughs, please keep doing more!
Love how excited you are for the baby Wolves! Also, the "Ooooouh" sound you make every time Research is done :)
You could add another window at the back of the dragons' cage so that they can be viewed in their hard shelter
I love this game so much. Im obsessed with watching people's videos, it brings back all of my zoo Tycoon memories (but without the stress of going broke & having to close down bc it's not my zoo!)
Yesss I'm so excited for this game. I'm happy you're actually building a zoo instead of doing speed builds or the campaign like other channels are!
Love these videos!
Couple things though:
You should add a viewing area on the back of the Komodo dragon exhibit
You might want to make the crocodile exhibit smaller so people can see it better
Also I heard that water filtration is needed for every exhibit for their drinking water or else they’ll get sick but I’m not exactly sure about that one
Overall these are really fun videos tho and thanks for making them!

Absolutely love this series and the way you play the game, James. Thank you!
Need more of this zoo! Also was screaming at you to notice the other baby wolf! 😂😂
Kudos to all of the people who involved in this magnificent game! They are so into details. Even they put the animals' names based on local tounge. I'm from Indonesia and I noticed some of the name like the Komodo's name was "Bulan" and it means "Moon". Also the crocodile's name was Intan and it means diamond. They put a lot of effort for this game!
And please continue this episode, James!

35:32 I did indeed realize and had been waiting the whole time for you to realize lmao
At least your crocodiles are bored and not diseased *looks at Deligracy*
