[Godlike Mix-Ups]

I like the world of animals but have a phobia against spiders. Will I get confront with them even I dont want ? I dont want see a single picture of them even for deactivating them if it is a thing.

This is quite true. I have some phobias and therapy for them is to gradually face them and understand why these phobias exist within us.

But don't go face to face with a tiger.

Just a quick FYI as well, there is a tarantula hat found within the Hats Fantastic shop. If you don't want any of your guests to end up wearing one, you can disable that type of hat in the shops menu.

Well what you can do is when you click on the exhibit tab, just do not look at the list before filtering it.

i have the same problem, i really hate spiderna, i wish it was an option as it is in the game "green hell" to not show spiders, i have read all the comments here and it is great that is is a filter function but they are still visible in zoopedia, so it would be nice to have a X to click in the option-menu to make all spiderreleted info and pictures and also the ones that are live in game just disappered with a click. but i will try everything that you have written here in the comments so maybe i can start playing the game again for real, i only have played it 13 hours in total and last time i save the activ zoo i last played was in 2020, i had a try to play it in october 2022 but that was only for a couple of minutes until i saw one of the big hair spiders in a picture in one of the menu´s, then it was game over for me again.

There's possibly nothing in the game that someone does not have a phobia about. Some even have a phobia about grass, and water. The animal and exhibit market allows you to search for specific species, but not to filter ones out. Considering how many species there are in PZ, that would be impractical for Frontier to add as an option. Although searching for a specific species does have the effect of filtering the others out.
