Playing the Game Different climates support different plants and animals 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.
Kids have to keep their parks financially as well as ecologically viable.
The park overview screen 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.
