Change map size but keeping progress

[Nallum]

Hi all.

Been trying to figure this out for hours, and now seeking help. Basically, I only discovered that you can change your map size in scenario editor after creating my Challenger park and achieving a lot of progress in it. But when I try alter the map in scenario editor and save it, it only lets me play the map in Career or Sandbox mode and removes all researched items & resets the year to the very beginning making all rides lose their prestige, etc.

I was wondering if there’s a way to increase the park size without having to start from year 1 & losing all the research etc.

Any help will be appreciated! I’ve tried searching through the forum but can’t find any other threads on this issue.

I haven't tried it, but I imagine that you have to decide on the map size at the start of using the scenario editor.

Yeah, it seems that way... but I don't really fancy creating a whole new park lol. Wish I knew you could expand sooner! If only they added a feature to expand your current park rather than having to go through scenario editor and losing all the progress :(

You can open your park's save file in the scenario editor and change the park's allowable size without losing any of your construction progress, but when you play it in regular mode you'll be playing it as a new custom scenario and will lose game progress (for example, the amount of money the park has will be the scenario's set starting amount, not the amount of money your park had earned while playing).

Yeah, that seems the only way! :( I just ended up making the decision to change my park size and deal with no longer being in a challenge park, which sucks. Thanks for your help :)

That tutorial doesn't answer my question, though. I know how to change the park size, I just wanted to see if there was a way to change the park size and still have my progress (e.g, Research, Prestige levels, Money, etc) Instead it pretty much just blueprints my park and starts from day 1 in career mode. Thanks for your help, though! Tis appreciated.

In career mode the park size is locked. One can save a career park and open it in sandbox or scenario editor but that park will no longer be able to be played in career mode.
