Clashing mods?

If I have 100 mods downloaded and enabled and I put ten of them into a zoo can they clash with the other mods that are not in the zoo or is it only the mods I put into each zoo that I have to worry about clashing with one another? I ask because I have finished my first mod zoo and 2 of the animals crashed it. But there's no bug reports for either so I think it might be they are not compatiable with another mod in the zoo.

Habitat event!

Help with my planet zoo mechanics

So my planet zoo is really weird, so if I press to go forward left right or backwards my game won’t stop going in that direction until I press that direction key again when I try to rotate the angle the mouse arrow disappears and I can barely rotate the angle when I press shift to go up and down the game keeps going up or down even when I lift my finger from the mouse and I have to forcefully tap the mouse to place things, please help

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.

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.

"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.
