I like user made items. I combining ztds. I would like to know if you count the items you combine or do you count how many mgs. you put together? I know you try to keep them even so I am organizing my downloads,so that I don't do something twice. Thank you ahead of time. Confused and

preplexed.

I am not sure that I understand the question. It does not matter how many items are combined or how many megabytes are in the combined ztd file. Zoo Tycoon has a limit on the number of ztd files. Combining ztd files will get around this limit. The more megabytes that are used, the slower Zoo Tycoon will go. But it does not matter if these megabytes are in one ztd file or more than one ztd file. When I combine ztd files, I do not worry about number of items or sizes. I combined ztd files into the following: foliage_as_rocks.ztd, scenery_as_rocks.ztd, user_paths.ztd, user_fences.ztd, rocks.ztd, foliage.ztd, structures.ztd, zoo_scenery.ztd, nonliving_user_animals.ztd, and nonspecial_animals.ztd. The last one is the largest, currently at 230M. I do not combine ztd files for other types of animals, for downloads from Microsoft, or for ztd files that contain more than one of the above types.

Thanks for the quick response.You have given me ideas on what to name them and I won't wrry so much about how many are in one combined ztd. Thank you again for your response.
