Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Tommy, and welcome to my second official Tips video on the Sandbox building in Jurassic World Evolution 2! This time, with a little twist of the top 10 things that I think you should not do in order to create better-looking parks.
I decided to create a video of this format again, after the positive feedback on my previous Top 5 Building Tips video (Find the link below), and I enjoy putting my own thoughts into principles.

I have to disagree on the mixing building styles. One of my favorite things is to use the different eras/styles of buildings to help differentiate the parts of the park, kinda like Disney World.
He mentioned in the video that doing it purposely as a stylistic choice is an exception
Clearly not paying attention to the video
Well he said things he think you shouldn't not what you have to do.
Thx for the tips-I mean don’ts, I just finished my nature reserve park build and it turned out ok thanks to your teachings. You would maybe be proud
Thank you, make sure to share it somewhere and let me know 😁😉
@@JurassicTom ok I’ll try 😄
I have to thank you for the tips. Videos like yours and Evolution Square have helped me create much better looking parks in the game.
Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that 🙂
Something I do when I have a small amount of open space is place down a different colour path, block off most of it with concrete barriers and put the Crain, a few shipping containers and a full tank/second Crain with a avian landing perch to make it look under construction
Nice! That's actually a great tip for increasing the realism of the whole park! :)
I do actually like mixing in storage crates and some industry items into my raptor enclosure. Just makes it feel more spooky.
Wow man, you’ve created some pretty fantastic parks over the course of this video. I’ll have to sub and check these out. I especially like what you did with the park at 1:38. You’re number 1 point, less (situational) planning, is my biggest challenge.
Thanks so much, buddy, glad you're enjoying the content 😁 and of course, not an expert here, if you feel like some of these don't resonate with you, feel free to forget all about them 😄
Hey Tom! I'm someone who rarely comments on yt, but i just had to say i love your videos. You seem to be an amazingly charming and cool guy and i enjoy watching your videos. I cant seem to understand why you don't have more followers, but I'm sure you'll get there! Keep the good work up. Also i took inspiration from your atlantis park and it's so much fun for me to build these days. I'd love to show it to you, but I won't upload any videos so just know you inspired me and brought me great joy, you can pat yourself on the shoulder for inspiring so much people, have a nice day Tom!^^
Wow ☺ this moved me, it really did, thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate the support and I'm so glad that you enjoy the content so much 😊 and I want to encourage you to share your creations, I'm sure they are lovely 😉 but at any case, glad you got inspired, it really is a joy 😁 thank you 🙂
"I'm not saying I'm a master of aesthetics..."
Give yourself more credit, dude. Your parks are incredible!
Thanks so much, that's really nice 😊
Great video man, love the vibe of the video and music
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for the tips man!!
Thank you! You're very welcome 😊
You said two things that I really felt.
"Try shapes that don't have any name, those are shapes too"
And
"Don't feel you have to finish it like... right now. Because you'll finish it eventually, it's not going anywere"
Jajaja sorry, I had to write it 😂💙
Thank U
I needed that
Greetings from México 💚💚
That is so nice to know there's someone who can relate to this 😁🙂 thanks so much 😁
@@JurassicTom 💙
Great tips !! I love watching people create
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!
Definitely using several of these! Thank you for your content. :)
You're welcome and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Great video.... stunning parks you got there 😍
Thank you so much 😊
These tips are really good, especially the “take breaks” :D
Speaking from experience, what can I say 😄
I once made a botanical garden on the UK map. It was pretty good and I even used the sticks as a sort of Bamboo forest.
That's a very neat idea! 😁
This helped so much this is awesome, btw your park is so cool keep is up Jurassic Tom
Thanks a ton! :)
I haven't played JWE 2 in couple months now, simply because I did make these don'ts in sandbox, everything looked too similar, too big enclosures, too little in enclosures, rushing, etc. But now, I might go back to play it and learn from my mistakes
Wow, that is so great to hear you got inspired to get back to it 😁 but my additional advice would be, make your own rules a build whatever you feel like you're gonna enjoy! 😊
This really helped me I thought I had to build my park all at once and I got bored
From one Tommy to another, thanks for the tips! 😄
Haha, you're welcome 😄 and thanks for stopping by 😁
Thank You for the Tips!
No problem!
Great tips just started playing this game. Many things I didn’t even think of.
Thank you! I'm glad this was useful for you 😊
Thanks for the tips, here is one mine: plan ahead the paths and stores plus attraction modules before placing fences.
Agreed, I got burned on that a few times 😅
@@JurassicTom indeed, I now place the paths and then distribute the Attraction Modules to get a sense of where the people will move on the park and then lay out viewing galleries as well, stores bathroom and hotels so when I place the fencing system I have ample room to place things. Measuring the radius of the guest visibility is also an important part of park building.
@@luisemoralesfalcon4716 I don't care about the visibility, cause this game thinks the guests are blind outside of viewing galleries 😆 just want my parks to look good the way thay I decide 😁
@@JurassicTom so true.
This is super inspiring.
Thank you :)
YOUR BUILDINGS ARE SO COOOOOOL
Thank you so much! 😁
The thing about number 5 is; I love using planters or something as fences but the dinosaurs tend to phase through them constantly and I have to place a response facility to tranquilize them. (I make sure to place them close enough but for some reason they just walk through like nothings there.)
That's odd, I thought it was only a problem with the big rocks and they fixed that one. I never had the animals phase through the planters, all my parks would be toast, basically :D
Hey, one time one of my Maaradactylus phased through the Aviary. Don't feel bad.
Hey Tom! Great tips! I get a little overwhelmed when I start a build, especially on a larger map. Got any helpful hints on how to start off?
Thank you 😊 well, it happens to me, too, I really wanna build on a certain map, then get there and it's crickets 😆 happened with Pennsylvania and Yosemite too... in cases like these, I jist place the arrival point and improvise, try path patterns and do something completely random, sometimes I change it, but usually it evolves into something 😊 so, not a great tip per se, but I'd say just go with the flow 😅
I love jwe2 park builders like you
Aaw, thank you so much 😊
This is very useful for me. I'm not the greatest at park building and I've been trying to get better. I can just never figure out where I want to start and I'm not great at decided what goes where. I can never make a very good park that I'm happy with. I just end up making a couple carnivore enclosures and then just throw every herbivore into one paddock. Big issue that I'm trying to fix.
My advice is, just go with the flow, try things, try to put something somewhere, create some path designs, and most of all, improvise, don't really plan. Many of the things that I've done were completely improvised and often they have turned into highlights of my parks 😊 wish you luck with creating some nice stuff 😉
@@JurassicTom Thank you! It just hurts my self confidence for some reason seeing as though my little brother is better than me at quite a lot and he doesn't even try nor does he mean to be better. I feel proud of him, but I can't help but feel inferior. I'm starting to get angry when I try to build parks because they don't look good esthetically.
@@assassinsa1 I get what you mean. But it just takes a little bit of practice and patience with placing the decorations 😅 you should have seen my first sandbox parks, those were a mess 😄
@@JurassicTom Oh I'm sure. I'm watching your 4th episode of the Biosyn Recreation Park and I just want you to know... I'm on console. 😂 More and more things are making me want a PC. 😂
@@assassinsa1 that's the one where I talk about how much easier it is for PC players, right? 😅 I'm sorry 😅
I didn’t know you could use planters instead of fencing that’s neat! Thanks.
Glad I could be of help, thanks for stopping by :)
I thought my park was really cool until I've seen you guys .now mine looks like a toddler made it..well done
Thanks so much! And I believe that your parks are beautiful as well 😊
i completely agree with not planning to much because if i cant do what i plan i always get upset!!
Thanks, glad you agree, it let's me know that I do make sense 😅
you can ignore the first one and get a good park still, like, a less defensive one for less agressive (jp), a medium for kinda agressive (DFW) and the most armored for agressive (jw)
Good thing now with the biosynth expansion is invisible fences!! When i make an enclosure with just planets or decorations as a fence the guests just run haha . ghost town ahha. At least now it will be natural and have guests. haa
I hate that you can still see that there is a barrier and it does not really look eastethic 😄 the planters are more plausible as barriers, and if you really squeeze them tightly together the guests don't run, the barrier is there 😉
For the tip for not only using fences for like a cryolophosaurus exhibit I made I made th main front fence area with jo styled hotels and added rocks and It works a lot for like more up close enclosures
That's very neat 😁 any different idea is a great idea 😊 btw, I actually used hotels as barriers in my upcoming park 😁
4:30 Needed that, the reason why is this. I am working on a Nublar 1993 build and just finished my upper section of the map and it came out really good, though, some more rock placements should round it out. Now I am on the lower section putting in my hotels and facilities and last few enclousers and its tempting to rush because I can't populate the rest of the park until the facilities are complete because that's where the hatchery is. I actually left hurricanes on and just didn't turn them off so there are bunch of broken fences and gates. Will need to take some time to drive around and fix those... I may stream that now that I am thinking of it.
I always turn everything off, why should I be bothered with repairs? haha 😄
@@JurassicTom So iI actually decided to go down to first person mode and explore my build and repair everything manually managed to get lost in my own park.
@@andrewrivera4046 well, I admire your dedication 😂
@@JurassicTom I have a save file of before I did the repairs. I am tempted to record a mini series off me getting the park under control. Not sure though, I have PS4 and can stream but I have never used it to record before.
@@andrewrivera4046 you never know until you try 😉
Thank you alot because i just bought this game 3 days ago and on the fist day I winged it in sandbox mode and I thought it was really good but after wacthing this I rate my park a 4/10😊. You have given me many ideas and designs. !!!!
Thanks so much 😊 glad you got some ideas, I'm sure your parks are and will be amazing 😁
You've deinfetly earned a new subscriber! I was wondering, do you ever plan on doing a OG Jurassic Park themed build on Nublar 1993? I don't mean a recreation, just like your San Diego park but for the original.
Thank you so much! 😊 At first I thought I wouldn't recreate it, now I'm not against it... I was thinking maybe next year for the 30 year anniversary occasion. But yes, I guess I would put my own twist on it 😁
I just finished a build I call “dinosaur king” because it’s tiger king but with dinosaurs. Everything is ready to go wrong when trexes are behind security level 2 fences
Haha, nice, make sure to share 😁
dang your parks are amazing!
Thanks so much 😁
Your parks are so beautiful it makes my parks look so bland please teach us how to use the slope mechanism a bit better
Thank you so much! I have a video on how to create mountain formations, if you'd like to check it out 😊

Is it necessary to disable both the comfort and needs of dinosaurs from the sandbox level? In my opinion, their needs limit the possibilities a bit, especially in the case of predators where you have to sacrifice a lot of paddock for a boring forest
Always turn off the needs, in my opinion, the dinosaur needs destroy your creative freedom. I bet none of my enclosures ever suit any of my dinosaurs 😂 but that's the sacrifice if you want them to look good 😁
Hi, could you tell me how to get all the tree species that appear on the first map? In my cell only a few come out.
Hello, could you clarify the question, please? I am a little unsure what you're asking about.
yes, thanks for answering. I see that on your tropical map, there are several species of trees and shrubs that can be placed individually, but on my map there are only three trees. How can I get that vegetation to decorate?
@@yonathanparra92 if you're on a PC or a newer console, you can turn on the option for mixed vegetation in the Sandbox settings, it's unfortunately not available for older consoles tho
Hi! I absolutely love all your videos, despite not having jwe2. I was a huge fan of the original jwe, and still play it often. I am saving up for a better console to get jwe2, but I was wondering, in sandbox is there an option to start the park with the land being completely flat? This was a big issue for me when I played the original :)
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support 😁 yes, you now have the option to start with a flattened terrain, no lakes, no trees, just a hollow flat map 🙂 plus, there are many more quality of life fixes since the first game, you really should get this one 😁
@@JurassicTom thank you so much! :)
How do u put dinosaurs and tours in the aviaries ?
You can put the tours there by default, just lean with the tour path towards the wall and it should automatically click. With the dinosaurs, that's a glitch exploit. Some dinos have a running animation when exiting the hatchery. If you put the hatchery very close to the aviary, they get locked in the animation and some of them run through the wall 🙂
Thanks for the tips! I just find it really difficult and annoying to lower/flatten/raise terrain.. I've tried using that a few times but it just never does what I want it to do.. Any advice on that? :(
My tip would be to play with the sensitivity a little, I usually also forget it is there and do everything on highest sensitivity, which might not always be the best option though. Also, make sure you have the grid lines visible when editing, it's a huge help. And lastly, it takes a lot of patience and going back and forth. But it's not impossible, one tip I would have for creating smooth paths that go up and down, always try to flatten different levels of it at first, with just tiny short clicks, spread it out a little and then smooth. Hopefully, you get what I mean, it's kinda hard to explain 😄
@@JurassicTom I think I get what you mean! I'll definitely give it a try yeah.. I didn't even know there was a sensitivity option haha!
Can we get a do and don'ts for the new square maps...
Also the square maps are HUGE.
Is it too much to split the map into Time Periods and have a showcase for each time period (early/late Cretaceous/Jurassic etc) and then make each of those like a mini park much like Disney world... Would mixing building styles then be a thematic choice? Where OG Jurassic Park buildings where for only the Jurassic Time Period?
In base game (no DLC) there's late Triassic, early mid and late Jurassic, early and late Cretaceous and then Holocene
The park idea would be like a clock face a large circular park split per period
Thank you so much for these wonderful ideas! They surely are something that I could work with 😁
thank you so much now i now hoe to do a perfect park thanks !!!
Hope*
I once tried to make a circle around the innovation center and I kept making it crooked
There needs to be enough space between the center and the path, cause the center is more of an oval shape than a circle. Let me know if it works for you 😁
i dont think mixing the styles is bad, you can even make certain areas of the park with different styles, a more modern area to use JW hotels, a Beach area with JP hotel and so on.
Yeah, as I said, feel free to ignore me 😄I sometimes don't follow these, but don't tell anyone 🙊
I don't know but... I feel that, even if I try to make my park in the sandbox mode cute, it looks ugly, I feel that the decorations are not aligned and that the paths end up going one on top of the other and making some changes in their structure because of that, I also feel that, because I play on an xbox one (a console that was not made for JWE 2), I will never be able to make a beautiful park, just people using PCS and a console like Xbox Seires X and a PlayStation 5 can... Do these little problems turn out to be facts or is it just me having problems because I can't make nice and cool parks...?
I have these feelings too
For the paths clipping, there is a trick, you need to connect the path to the same kind of path that it was connected from. It means that, for example you have the red path, black path, and white path, in order for the white path not to go over, if you connect it to the red one, it needs to finish in the red one, not the black one. I do not know how it is to place decorations other than on PC, but even there it takes a lot of patience and going back, deleting it, adjusting it... sometimes I'm losing it in the process 😆 I know it's harder on console from what I've heard, but I wish you luck, I'm sure you can do it 😊
I still fix all my fences because of you
Haha 😄 not only sharing inspiration, but also my OCD, I see 😅
@@JurassicTom oh yes I am obsessive about it just like you and its so silly because before I started watching your videos I didn't even notice the crooked fences 🤣😂
Well, I want to make a map that is just one big enclosure with a ton of Dinos but how do I get them to not murder each other and the hybrids going on a killing spree?
It's easy, just turn off dinosaur comfort, combats, and starvation in the Sandbox settings and you're good to go 🙂
Thx
@@JurassicTom thank you so much, I asked this because I want to make a map that is like a national park and I did not want fences or Dinos eating people
@@ratte9470 if you don't want fences, decorations and rocks are ideal barriers 😉
When you talk about viewing galleries being higher up to maximise the view of the dinosaurs does it actually make a difference in the game, or is it just for realism?
Mostly just for realism, and also, when you then visit the gallery, it sometimes happens that on an even ground you can barely see anything in the enclosure 😅
@@JurassicTom True 😂 thanks
and here i thought i was pretty decent at park designs but this is some next level shit
Haha 😆 thank you so much 😁
that park is s beutiful!I wish i had jwe2 'cuase i play on nintendo switch
Thanm you so much 😊 hope you can get somewhere, it is worth it 😁
what if i like crooked fences??
If that's your style, go for it! 😁
What biome/map did you use for tip 9?
The first one is Northwest map and the second one is Pennsylvania 🙂
What a video to watch for someone who is absolutely unable to come up with a unique park style and has to rely on others for ideas lol
Thanks :) I'm sure your parks are very nice :)
Does that big Para enclosure give 100% comfort?
All my builds are in Sandbox with the comfort turned off, so I wouldn't bet on it 😄
@@JurassicTom thanks, I'm always torn between a good looking enclosure with poor comfort or a decent looking enclosure with perfect comfort
@@arathearapaima7107 I believe that the comfort and Dino needs turned on pretty much ruin the park designs 😅 so my advice will always be, turn everything off and do what you think looks pretty 😁
I like fencing in my people and running a large natural environment for the dinos and helping when they get injured watch them in their natural environment lol
You're gonna like what you see in my tomorrow's new park then 😉
Tip 1 had me sweating because I had a Jurassic Park Section in my Jurassic World themed park.
Haha 😅 I'm sure it was looking great 😁
I wish I have this game 🥺
OOF
Holy crap you and I are playing different games
Haha, thanks buddy 😁
As a console player, dont number 10 is a cakewalk 😎
Hahah 😄
What do you mean by ‘not putting water on the same level?’
I meant, if you have different elevation levels in your enclosure, it does not look natural if the water is higher than other levels, usually lakes are below the elevated parts. Unless you're faking waterfalls somehow 😅
@@JurassicTom I've been having that problem where when I put in water it rises from the ground... Almost like a Geyser! I hate that. Any advice on how to do right or decent ?
@@fauxyeahjandy you need to slightly, but just very slightly, lower the ground and then when you put the water in, it should be levelled 🙂
@@JurassicTom hm? I must try this
@@JurassicTom thanks
You can't tell me how to live my life, Tom!
Hahah 😄
1:58 XD btw its DFW
7:41 some sneak peaks?
Getting warm 🙃
ceratosaurs is confused lol.
I see people in my viewing gallery’s but not walking the paths why is that?
If you have the smallest path and put decorations to both sides, the AI won't place the people there, they basically have no space to walk, that's what happens to me sometimes.
@@JurassicTom I always use the biggest path and I haven’t placed decorations yet
@@Spyingfurball42 hm 🤔 I wonder, might be there's no dinosaurs visible, a silly suggestion, but a closed park 😅 or the path being cut off by something somehwere else 🤔 other than that I don't know 🤷♂️
@@JurassicTom I have a viewing gallery at every place, no path’s disconnected, park is def opened😂. Never had this issue
@@Spyingfurball42 might happen if you have 2 galleries and one is closer to the main infrastructure? 😅 that's my last guess 😆
in sandbox I only do carnivours
WHY???
@@amus_keeto2465 Because they 're cooler only one I like is bumpy the ankylosaur
Do: what you want!
Don't do: what you don't want to!
Basicaly 😉
I swear, compared to all of these talented people out there, my parks just look as if a 3 years old reached into his toybox and threw everything he grabbed right onto the carpet and call it a day.
Thanks so much, and I'm sure your parks are amazing 😁
@@JurassicTom Nope. I'm basically that 3 years old kid. But I like watching videos like yours, because it's inspiring. So thank -you-. :D
Do you ever use mods?
Not yet, I'm waiting till they're finished with the updates and until I run out of ideas 😅 which hopefully won't happen so soon
My sin is I don’t use the ground brushes enough.
Never too late to start ;)
I prefer to keep the park look like just a Dino park I can't bloody make a park where it is restricted to civilian and only park staff can be there like sorna
Edit: basically a park that is restricted to the public and only agents off the company can be there
I usually always click just guests when I'm starting a new park, the staff ruins the estethics 😄
I know the new map
I'm so excited ti get it today 😁
Check out Yoboy Bronto on RUclips!!! He makes JWE2 videos that are fire!!!!!
It’s biosyn
not a fan of low-lying enclosure borders like flower beds and stuff. Realistically any dinosaur could easily escape this so it breaks immersion
I do get your point, yes, and I am battling with that notion myself sometimes, but then I think, when you look at the size of a huayangosaurus, for example, it's smaller than a regular planter, and with the way how its body is built, I'd believe you can keep it in such enclosure :D but of course, to create diversity, you need to stretch the realism of things a little I think.
DFW for God's sake!!!!
Haha, I'm sorry, I just couldn't remember, since I'm not usually using them 😅
Wtf 😹
I hardly have any decorations because im on xbox🫠
I'm sorry to hear that, but from my experience, limitations breed creativity 🙂
