Classic DLC, animal only DLC or an intermediate option?

[Aramar]

I'm surprised to see quite a few people wishing to combine the both types of DLC we currently have:

• Classic DLC: 4+1 animals + many building pieces (approx. Artic: 221, South America: 354, Australia: 226, Aquatic: 182)
• Animal only DLC: 7+1 animals + 8 signs

I also want to get more building pieces and plants, we need them to build our zoos. However, for me, going back to only 4 habitat animals would be sad. We've been asking for more animals for so long, that going back when there are still so many wanted species from all the continents would be disappointing. Therefore, I would like to combine the new animal only pack with a new kind of pack. Most of us agree that adding just one animal to the 4 previous DLC would have made a big difference, so this I why I would like to have:

Option A: 6+1 animals (with their signs) + about 70 building pieces
Option B: 5+1 animals (with their signs) + about 140 building pieces


An example of the pieces for option A could be:
-New full wall set: 26 pieces (I don't think we need more roof styles, so I only include the flat square and round flat roof pieces)
-New door, window, shop front and zoopedia panel: 4 pieces
-New lamps: 3 pieces
-New bench, table, umbrella and bin: 4 pieces
-New fence: 3 pieces
-New decorations/mixed items: 20 pieces
-New non-animal signs: 3 pieces
-New plants: 12 pieces (4 sets with 3 sizes)
TOTAL: 75 pieces

What do you think?

PS: I also think that an aviary pack could be an exception and be a bit more expensive so that it can add more than 8 birds + the needed pieces to build the aviaries.

I think it’s a very interesting idea. I would go with Option A: 6+1 animals (with their signs) + about 70 building pieces

It should make everyone happy and I know what an amazing difference even 2 animals more make.

I would say if you look at the meta lists there are hundreds of habitat animals, exhibit animals, aviary animals and aquatic/marine animals missing from the game.

I can't say there are 100's of building themes missing from the game. I would like to see some more themes still, and definately caging and mesh walls. But the animal packs cannot go back to less than eight per dlc.

i prefer mostly animals and some nature elements

I'd mostly go with more animals, I think so overall I'd say Option A. But if we get some kind of European pack I'd rather have Option B.

I'd personally be 100% content if we got nothing but 7+1 packs from here on out.

Edit: aside from an aviary update, that one would understandably require a lot of new pieces.

Really the only building pieces I see justification for adding at this point are aviary pieces, mesh/chain-link and netting pieces, a small amount of backstage props and possibly some North America themed pieces. Other than that, just give me animals!
