increase game difficulty. there is a checkbox as well to set all wild dinos to level 150
I did all that and the difficulty is at 8.0

Remember to perform a dino wipe after doing so, new settings only apply to freshly spawned creatures. It can be done using the following command in the console.
DestroyWildDinos

And of course, due to official balancing high level creatures are rare on story map, it might take you a while before seeing some nice spawns.

you need to do 'cheat destroywilddinos' to kill all of the dinos so new ones spawn
also download "Custom Dino Levels" on the workshop, that way you can increase the minimum level that a dino can spawn at.

Yeah, TheIsland (along with a few official map before, I believe, Extinction) are less likely to spawn higher level dinos. It's just the way the map works, and there's no way to change that unless you use mods.
But I did it when I had my server With no mods

Well, first, let's understand what you're trying to do, cause I don't think most of us are understanding what you're doing. What levels are you seeing? Can you tell us 5 different examples of levels you're able to find in your current game?

No it didn't. The vanilla game has always been weighted to spawn more low levels. That is why the mod "equalized dino levels" was created years ago.

Okay maybe I did not understand you fully. Which difficulty did you change? Are you referring to the difficulty offset or override official difficulty?

On single player you will need to manually set OverrideOfficialDifficulty=8.0 in your GameUserSettings.ini, or add this line under [ServerSettings] if it does not exist, to get max lvl of 240. For regular official level, set it to 5.0 to get max 150.

For difficulty offset, there’s no effect to set a value beyond 1.0, it will be clamped anyway.
I did the override difficulty at 8.0 I Wiped all the dinosaurs
Not seeing a higher level than 120

Most of them Won't go above 70

Are you certain you typed in the line of code in the ini correctly, it needs to be in GameUserSettings in the [ServerSettings] section

OverrideOfficialDifficulty, there are lots of double letters, easy to miss one.
