About this mod
Should support all DLCs (including Secret Species) but also none, similar as to JWE's player file. I did NOT complete all challenges, but only the ones which provide unlockables.

This player file has everything unlocked for Sandbox.
I merely speak about the skins, that get unlocked through challenges.
Also all database entries are unlocked.
Additionally, I admire WondersGTAGaming's enthusiam, about beating the challenge modes:

For myself, I really dislike park simulators. oO
Which is, why I possibly cannot get how to enjoy that. I possibly grew a few grey hairs doing a quick challenge in the first one. XD
I somewhat liked the first one and the linked missions on all of the "5 deaths".
Here I got into a cruel halt, when the rustlers got added, but recently got the nerv to finally complete this awful ride.
Luckily, these do not appear on challenges (or at least not on the challenges that matter).
The ride was awful especially as of assigning ranger teams to posts for a regular patrol often ended up with "Hurr, cannot find durr", while I perfectly removed any obstacles nearby the post, lagoon or bird box hatchery.
And additionally lagoon or bird box reptiles sometimes get stuck on place and starve. :/
So I had to do massive micro management anyways, sometimes worse than in the first one. :(
Overall the sandbox seems fine, as long as you do not go too big. I'm currently loading a sandbox for a few minutes and other people reported crashes.
From my side the game runs astonishingly stable, but my framerate is below the charts, simply as my park is too big already. :O
So I guess overpowering the engine with the hardware ensures stability, but when not lowering the graphics in big parks, the performance isn't that good.
I still admire the talent of Frontier to create these creatures. While they sometimes seem to freak out a little (AI-crazy), the models are still nice to watch and especially as these creatures are extinct in real life, I don't bother caging them. :P
Interactions are either nice. Having seen my raptors taking down an Acrocanthosaurus as a team was astonishing.
Having some herbivores bumping gently into each other (as an animation), instead of just phasing through each other as it would be without the respective animation (which happens quite often if you really have A LOT of creatures in one enclosure) is either nice to watch.
So yeah, it's a nice simulator and dino showcase in a franchise I admire. Even though the most recent iteration was... Well I somewhat like Jurassic Park III more now. XD
I still think that updating the first one (engine-wise) to include these additions would have been fair enough.
Yeah, yeah, wouldn't have been as lucrative. I mean, we paid for it. *awkward*
Regarding the challenges:
You can see my completion times for the challenges that provide unlockable skins in the pictures. If you do not want to challenge WondersGTAGaming's records, feel free to create your own playerfile, by beating mine.
