Experiencing Lag Only With Guests

I've seen people be able to completely fill their franchise zoos with buildings, exhibits, enclosures, animals, guest areas, etc. I have ~ 100 hours in the game and have been, in the past couple of weeks, trying to get better at creating zoos, keeping guests happy, keeping animals happy, breeding, creating beautiful areas, etc., etc. Typical Planet Zoo things! I play on PC and have, admittedly, quite a good PC. It's a desktop, it has 64GB of RAM at 7000, 7800 XT with a 7700X. I'm probably 25-35% complete with the space I have in my zoo, with tons of animals and decor and whatnot. I have around 7,000 (a bit less) guests in my zoo typically. I don't lag whatsoever except when I am looking near my primary/original zoo entrance, where guests congregate in huge clumps. They have multiple different ways they can go, but the primary entranceway is where they all seem to clump up and get completely stuck. Attempting to combat that, I have two additional zoo entrances that I've purchased and placed away from the original one. Not sure if it matters, but I'm in North America on Temperate, completely flat. ...

keepers not feeding my animals

So im still having issues with my keepers feeding my animals. they will place the food down on the ground and not the food plates. The animals wont eat it if its just on the ground, as it keeps spoiling. ive made sure everything is accessible, have assigned someone to only feed the animals and not clean, have tried to replace the plates, made sure theyre species specific, keepers have the huts, my employees are all happy and can access everything, but they just walk into the habitat and then lea...

Set the information board back to normal

Hey guys, I have a problem that I can't solve. It's about the info panel that isn't displaying correctly. I have no idea how I managed to do this. I checked the game for errors, reinstalled it, removed and re-added the DLC, but nothing changes. Just now, I took an enclosure with elephants, and there was still no info panel. Strangely, the ones from the picture were normal. I understand the problem, but still don't get it.

Guest Happiness Debacle

Why is it that sometimes guests are at a very low Happiness ( ex. <25% ) and then you look in their guest history and everything is either green or yellow.

Leucenism and albinism

Hello to all caregivers, how can I raise unique skins from ordinary, even golden, animals? If I don't have any myself? How long does it take for leucinism or albinism to appear in the breed? Thank you

"Failed to save" message!

I am trying to save my zoo, but each time I try, it says it failed to save. I am in sandbox mode with mods, but I was able to save earlier today with no changes to the mods. I have verified the game files on steam, and tried deleting a few previous saves. I only have 9 enclosures, so the issue isn't my zoo size. Please help! I don't want to lose my new habitat that I just built.

Gray seal visual/rendering issue

Recently bought the Aquatic pack and made a habitat for my Gray Seals, except that when they swim their model will randomly start stretching and moving in all kinds of directions which is rather unpleasant to look at, tried looking through existing threads and saw nothing and already looked online to no avail. Have also tried restarting my game but that didn't fix it. Additional info just in case: - Game via steam...

Whale Orca Mod

The caretaker will bring it in the habitat and just drop it on the land and it will stay there kind of glitched out! What do I do??...
