    I found that a lot of the expansion files on mine were still compressed. So you may have to look in the files to see if they are compressed and extract them individually, so the game can access them

    Just adding here that this is great, however, as some others have stated, you cant actually build any of the Marine exhibits or filters, etc. Also, none of the marine biomes are available.

    It’s great to have found this game but I’m disapointed that parts of it are missing. Specifically I’ve noticed that while tanks and marine exhibits exist in the game still (at least in the tutorial), it’s impossible to actually place them as their tag button is missing. And if what I’m reading is to be believed, there appear to be other parts of the marine exhibits missing too, such as the biomes
