Other trees will die or get overeaten by rampaging species. Because of this, the game tries to teach the concept of a "balanced ecosystem.
Only through a perfectly balanced biological system can all of the creatures flourish. Besides the biological aspect, there is also the managerial aspect of it. Above all, it is up to you to manage the budget for the park. Planting trees and adapting animals costs money, and if you can't manage that money, you're fired. Even though you get federal funding each year, it is also important to attract visitors to the park to make a little income.
You need to make provisions for humans, like paths and bathrooms. You also have to make sure visitors behave and do not litter or ravage the park. Besides this, you also have the duty to identify species in your park, through a mini-game which has you identify them through their characteristics. As well, you may have to decide on other things like if you want to receive donations, or cater to boyscout parties which might have negative affects on the ecosystem.
Like any classic Sim game, you can ravage your own park with disasters. You can simulate a garbage dump disaster a large pile of garbage and lots of rats , a fire, an alien invasion pink and blue blobs that create garbage and a kudzu infestation. SimPark teaches the importance of ecological balance in visual and easy-to-grasp ways. For example, the player soon learns that if no flat-leafed flowers are planted, the park won't attract bees.
And if the park doesn't attract bees, pollenation won't occur and the park cannot thrive. Click here to go to the Microsoft Powertoys page. The first thing kids do in SimPark is choose a climatological area of the country for their park. Different climates support different plants and animals better than others and success in SimPark requires awareness of this fact.
There are three levels of difficulty in the game, which affect things like the speed at which changes occur and the player's budget.
That's right, money management is an aspect of the game too! Kids have to keep their parks financially as well as ecologically viable. Not to worry though. SimPark makes it easy to get a nice park going. Once the area the climate and difficulty level are chosen, players are presented with park overviews of several possible layouts.
Some layouts are mostly land, some mostly water, and some are evenly divided between the two. Once the layout is selected, the park overview is always available to provide both a look at how the park is doing as a whole and for quick navigation from one point to another. Once a layout is chosen, the view changes to an isometric view of a small portion of the park.
Buttons down the left side of the screen allow the player to choose between such items as trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers, birds, reptiles and mammals. The player simply clicks on the desired category, then clicks on a choice within a category. After that, it's simply a matter of clicking on the place that the player wants the item to go and its placed.
Thus, placing a row of trees, a grassy meadow, or a patch of daffodils is a snap. The same goes for animals. In no time at all the park starts to fill in, because what the player plants will attract wildlife from outside the park that has a natural interest in that species. Thus, if the player plants berries, bears will soon appear in the park whether the player placed them there or not. If it starts to seem confusing, Rizzo the frog is always on hand to offer advice, and the likes and dislikes of each species are well-explained in the on-line field guide.
The player must also take human visitors into account, because there is that budget to manage. SimPark , therefore, allows the player to place items in the park that will attract human visitors, such as carousels and refreshment stands.
Humans, however, are a dirty species, and the player soon learns that its necessary to include the proper facilities and trash cans or the rat population of the park will start increasing alarmingly. Speaking of rats. They're part of one of the four possible disasters that can strike the player's park. What would a Maxis sim be without disasters? The garbage dump disaster, naturally, includes the rats.
The other possible disasters are fire, alien invasion you need to look at the park overview screen to understand the consequences of this humorous "disaster" , and, a brilliant inclusion by Maxis, kudzu! As in other Maxis sims, the player can switch disasters off, or, if the player wishes to inflict instant mayhem on the park's population, any disaster can be called up immediately. Properly designing the park is not enough to win sustained praise and promotions from the head ranger.
SimPark also requires the player to learn to identify the park's plant and animal life and to properly manage its animal and plant population. Identification learning is handled by the "Identa-Species" game that the head ranger will insist that each player complete.
