How do you play to this game in SANDBOX mode?

[Roch Silverfang]

You click on "pause" and spend 95% of your time to build manually pieces by pieces your own buildings in the sandbox, right? Or I miss something and I don't know how to play to this game?

Sandbox = unlimited cash. No rules, no challenges, just imagination.

There are people that place each individual piece to make a building or other object and there are those that like to download pre-made user items and just plop the whole building down to try to build their park.

There is one really great builder that I found on Youtube, unfortunately can't remember his channel or name but he builds what look to me to be absolutely stunning parks piece by piece by piece. The creativity that comes out of his mind to me looks to almost rival (if not sometimes better) the best minds at Disneyland parks.

So many ways to play. You have the stunning creators and then you have the goofy/playful ones linked below. But as OP says.....yep, you do spend quite a bit of time making this look good. I also like to ride the creations and tinker with triggers on rides.

For me, it really depends on what I'm doing at the time. I find it easiest to let the game run while building a coaster, since I have test runs going on during construction. However, when working on buildings, I usually pause the game.

the sandbox is a sandbox, you do whatever you like to do with it.
If i want to concentrate on a ride or rode design, sandbox is the place to go, however, you can take a sandbox park and make it a custom scenario or switch it over into challenge mode.

How does one make a custom scenario? I have not been able to open a game saved as a sandbox as a challenge park. How is that done?

I can open a challenge park as sandbox, but after that, I couldn't go back. Career parks can be opened as challenge parks or sandbox parks as well. Again, once anything is saved as sandbox park, I am unable to open it in anything but sandbox.

Where's your magic? Did I miss something completely obvious.....yet again? Or read your response incorrectly? I can make a ride or building or what ever in sandbox and use a blue print to put it in a challenge or career.
