🔽 The Ultimate Planet Zoo Mod Installation Tutorial | 2023

[@basecatXD]

As someone who enjoys your mods (especially the black footed ferret one), i think it’s amazing that you’re showing other people how to use your amazing mods!

[@Kreemerz]

c'mon, it's not that amazing. lots of people show others how to mod. Lol.

[@basecatXD]

@ yeah, but it’s still nice that he’s helping people anyway

[@BearBuildsStuff]

Amazing tutorial, I finally figured out how to add mods! This will allow me to add dolphins into the game, thank you!

[@TheMa-y-sonArtist]

Leaf, I figured it out and thanks for the help! I am definitely going to watch more of your videos to see more amazing mods

[@ROOOOACH]

Thank you so much! I was struggling because I just dragged the folders in so I will download WinRAR thanks for the help!

[@DiegoMSM]

uhhh I did exactly as the video said. I started by dragging Kaicore and ACSE into the correct folder but the game just kept crashing. I removed both mods from the folder but now it still keeps crashing. The game doesn't crash immediately, it only crashes once I try to load into one of my zoos. Uhhh wtf do I do Edit: Apparently franchise mode works fine but I cannot open any sandbox zoos what is going on. Another edit: Okay so after relaunching for like the eighth time the game just works now? I'm truly confused I'm just gonna try again later maybe it was an unusual unrelated issue or smtn idk. LAST EDIT: The mods had nothing to do with the crashes. I realised this when other games started crashing aswell. My computer was out of disk space and it started crashing everything coincidentally at the same time I started doing pz mods. I cleaned up my disk space and now it all works.

[@Novagiddy]

i am a little scared to download mods what do you think

[@LethalVr1234]

[@nob0dy44]

Love the video helped me alot!😊

[@alyssawilliams3797]

Im still really nervous about adding mods to my game as although this was very helpful ive heard so many people having issues with them, plus knowing me i'd forget to uninstall them before the next update lol (im guessing you still have to do this) thank you for the great video thou Leaf :) always amazing content, info and builds

[@turtleinatophat7832]

I've installed all of my mods correctly, yet I'm still getting crashes. That, and the discord invite isn't working anymore. My crashes happen when I either go into zoopedia or one of the trading tabs. I can try and reinstall the entire game again. should I try installing the remasters the old way?

[@lonestarfan126]

Hi, Leaf. I'm having some trouble with a colour morph mod for sandbox. It's supposed to increase albinos and piebalds and all those. I've reached out to the creator and she doesn't know what more she can do to help. If you download the mod there's a folder called "More Variants" I put that in the ovldata folder. And the mod needs ACSE to work, which I also have installed. But it's not working. Do you have any idea how to help?

[@LOLYTSUB-b8n]

I downloaded the same mod and it worked for me when I restarted try to restart your pc

[@kennzieelove]

I did exactly as you said but everytime I try to open up Planet Zoo it crashes.

[@Shane.720]

If you move your ovldata folder move it back, I had the same problem and that fixed it

[@James078-j4o]

i dowloaded the mod but i cant find it in winrar :(

[@mnbrothers02]

Hi Leaf my problem is that vets or the caretakers cant add the animal into the exibit and they cant go to the trade center

[@hamsterking4036]

nice video Leaf really usefull. but some of the mods i installed dont appear in the game even when when they were updated like a month ago do you know why

[@Liamgsleieh]

You can also do it from steam workshop

[@chriscolley2502]

they do not appear in franchise mode

Hey after draging acse and any other mod to the folder ovidata. the game just stops while starting. anyone have a solution to it?

[@Brandon_Foe]

I opened up ACSE in winrar dragged it in and the game still crashed. I did have all of the animal mods in there before ACSE so i was wondering if that was the reason its crashing

[@LeafProductions]

Join the modding server and show your ovldata folder there

[@user-TN65K0]

So for the next update will I have to delete all my mods while the game is updating or will it just be fine like that?

[@LeafProductions]

It’ll be fine

This was recorded the day i got my concussion ;-;

[@DrunkenJimmyjama]

when i go ingame and i search them up i dont see them for some reason and it says it downloaded

[@Ellioe]

Hi there, I downloaded some mods (also the acse and other). But I can't play it. It stop at the loading menu ( where it says: powerd by cobra and other things). Maybe it's because I don't have the official game but a cracked one. ( The ovl folder is there as well) Does anybody know what to do?

[@LeafProductions]

yeah you’ll need to buy the game dog lol

[@hanniaedithmartinezadame794]

The cracked game is an old version so it's not compatible with new/updated mods. You need to buy it xd

[@ginot7491]

So if the planet zoo update is say 1.8.1 and the mod is for an older version say 1.4.1 will the mod work or does the creator of the mod need to update to 1.8.1

[@skibbitypapp]

Is it ok to download prop mods that are around a year old since they’re mainly stationary?

[@LeafProductions]

Absolurely

[@skibbitypapp]

Sounds good! Thank you for answering, I’m really new to mods for planet zoo. The video was really helpful!

[@x-m-a-s]

It wont work? Yes my game wont crash, and yes all the files are in order and what they should be. But when I check in animal trading its not there? Also the mods are not discontinued or anything like that.

[@LeafProductions]

You probably lack the required DLC or are playing in the wrong game mode

[@x-m-a-s]

@@LeafProductions , I don’t think that’s it. I downloaded the peafowl variants mod which requires no dlc, even if it did I have all the dlc for the game. And I play in sandbox, I’ll try using different mods and I’ll update you on how it goes.

[@chewiegaming7739]

I am new to modding so I don't know much. I am mostly after remastered animals and there are a few on nexus that I am interested in. Some of them says 1.15 or lower. Can you download them anyway or does that crash the game?

[@Velocir4ptor875]

I’m on Russian, downloaded the mod support language, STILL ANIMALS DONT APPEAR INGAME

[@LeafProductions]

Either look for the animal in the original language (English mostly) or check you have all required mods (ACSE, etc). Many mods also require DLC, so keep your eyes out for that.

[@Velocir4ptor875]

@@LeafProductions after this I figured this out I need to move the folder from the rar file I’m such a piece of stupid crap

[@mart3151]

Does this method work on steam deck?

[@stuffyly_vi6639]

Hi Leaf, thank you for the tutorial it really helps. But there is one thing that I want to tell you. There are some new animal species mods that whenever they go to the water, they float above it or their heads are supposed to be above the surface but their whole bodies are submerged. Is it because the mods are outdated or did i do something wrong? Thank you!

[@LeafProductions]

Outdated
