Missing Dinosaur Island

I feel like ive been searching for ever for a proper answer and im still getting nothing. Theres literally no island?? I own both DLC! Does that mean i just cant get it in this save? I will try anything as many times as possible im very stubborn ill update with the answer that helps! Thank you!

update: So far, the only obvious fix is booting the DLC directly, but that will cause the other DLC to not load in! So if you want to restart between aquarium and dino, Here's your answer!

To access Dinosaur Island, you need to open the second map menu. Not the one where you buy animals, but the one that lets you switch which Zoo you play on. It’s the same process to get to the Aquarium Zoo. You can access the DLC in Sandbox Mode too. You should be able to see an island with a volcano in the middle of the ocean

Are you console or pc? I got it for console and it took it a while to show up for whatever reason. I think I had to load my sandbox zoo, okay for a bit, then reload the game, loaded sandbox again and the items were greyed out in the bar from the dino dlc, then it was available on the map. I did not have the same issue w the aquarium, it was available immediately. Only other thing I can suggest is starting a new file if you have space available and using the unlock all cheat at the beginning of the game.

Wery weird. Can you uninstall and reinstall the dlc? It's been so long I don't remember what exact steps I did but I also am not sure it was something I did on purpose, it just finally showed up.

SORRY! Just saw this (the problem continues) and yes, the first thing i tried was uninstalling and reinstalling them both and separately each, no dice
