About this mod

Welcome to Skull Island.

Permissions and credits
FIRST OF ALL, SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE INCREDIBLE MODDERS THAT HELPED ME OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROJECT: Putito777, Commanderblush, Siaka, Lucca, Harlequinz Eg0, Dinonerd1000. Specific credits at the bottom of the description.

In 1933 Carl Denham shocked the world when he unveiled King Kong to a stunned crowd at the Alhambra Theatre. The twenty-five-foot-tall delivered the scientific community a one-two punch that sent it reeling with the impact of this incredible discovery and subsequent tragic loss. But Kong was just the beginning. An entire island bursting with prehistoric wonders, existed. 15 years after its discovery, Skull Island sunk back into the ocean. By sending scuba teams to extract remains from the bottom of the sea, InGen managed to lay its hands on several of the most incredible extinct species of the 20th century.

Pack contents:
- 15 new species from the 2005 film King Kong and its corresponding book, from the huge V. rexes, to the cunning Venatosauruses, to King Kong himself.
- 2 new ambient animals: the Skull Island Gaur and Great Carrion Parrot.
- JP era signs for 11 of the new species.
- Sound files for the V. rex and gaur.
- Skull Island map (replaces Sanctuary)
- A wild Skull Island save file mission (requires expanded islands mod)

The Skull Island mission:
In the attached save file, you will get to travel back in time to Skull Island before Carl Denham discovered it in 1933. A variety of wild animals live on the island. Could you wrangle them up and build the best park the world has ever seen on the last piece of uncharted land on the planet?

The full list of species and what they replace:
Vastatosaurus rex (Carcharadontosaurus), Venatosaurus savidicus (Spinoraptor), Venatosaurus impavidus (Deinonychus), Brontosaurus (Apatosaurus), Ferrucutus (Chasmosaurus), Ligocristus (Tsintaosaurus), Aciedactylus (Metricacanthosaurus), Atercurisaurus (Chungkingosaurus), Megaprimatus kong (Cmarasaurus), Foetodon (Nodosaurus, requires an main.ovl file to turn carnivorous), Brutornis (Baryonyx), Adlapsusaurus (Proceratosaurus), Terapusmordax (Pteranodon), Sylvaceratops (Styracosaurus), Diablosaurus (Sinoceratops). The Skull Island gaur replaces the goat.

 FOR A FULL SHOWCASE OF THE ANIMALS WATCH THE VIDEO ATTACHED TO THIS PAGE

Known bugs/glitches: some bugs and glitches will be fixed in the future, for now, they do not ruin the player's experience.
  • Aciedactylus' eyes roll out of its head occasionally.
  • Ligocristus' right eye occasionally pops out.
  • Sylvaceratops' front limbs bend awkwardly when kneeling.
  • Kong's sleep animation is stretched due to the Camarasaurus rig.
  • Skull Island save file might be glitching like most expanded islands saves. If glitches, resave under a new name and load the new save.
  • If your bug/glitch is now listed here, please report back. I'll try to fix the issue and upload a new version ASAP.

FAQ
Why not adding new species instead of replacing existing ones?
Since the knowledge on how to do that is very limited at the moment, this was a simpler, faster solution. However, I'd be looking forward to converting all my mods in the future to be added as additional species.

What's added in PDLC4 & PDLC5?
Just text files that change Sanctuary into Skull Island, unnecessary if you don't wanna use the island, but know that there's one more minor file in the Content0 English files.

What's the file 'c0dinosaurs.fbd'?
I included an injectable file for the content0 Main.ovl so if you wanna have a carnivorous Foetodon and using another mod like mixed era, terrain tools, etc. you could simply inject the .fbd file in.
UNLESS YOU NEED TO MIX TWO MODS THAT USE THE MAIN.OVL FILE, YOU DON'T NEED IT!

What's in the files within Content0>UI>PublishedMovies?
Two things: In 'UIMovie_FrontEnd' there's the Skull Island map replacement. In 'UIMovie_InfoPanel' there's an additional icon for Terapusmordax.

Where do I place the saved game file?
C:\Users\(Your username)\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Jurassic World Evolution\(Your SteamID)\Saves
