an aviation pack
I'd love an aviation pack

Thank goodness, we're getting another animal pack. And I have to agree with the general community sentiment, a Latin America Animal Pack would be a banger of a DLC to end support on.
In my opinion Latin America makes as less Sense to end Support than the actual Pack. End of support will be Something like around the world or whatever it is called if I would guess. But nevertheless SA could happen next time as I do not think the game will end before the 5th anniversary happened.
 
Now that it's confirmed, I'll let myself get excited and speculate. In a truly perfect world, I'd like to see three packs to close out this year.

Latin America Animal Pack
  1. Ocelot
  2. White-nosed coati (keep flip-flopping between this and South American but I would be thrilled with either)
  3. Patagonian mara
  4. Greater rhea
  5. Spectacled bear
  6. Golden lion tamarin
  7. Brown pelican
Woodlands Animal Pack
  1. American black bear
  2. White-tailed deer
  3. Wild turkey
  4. Tanuki
  5. Mandarin duck
  6. Short-beaked echidna
  7. Black howler
Planet Animal Pack or something idk
  1. Hamadryas baboon
  2. Serval
  3. Grey-crowned crane
  4. Common squirrel monkey
  5. Walrus
  6. Blackbuck
  7. Matschie's tree kangaroo
Of course, 5 birds and 4 monkeys and only 2 ungulates across 3 packs, not to mention each pack containing both a cat and a new world monkey, seems like a pipe dream but this lineup leaves no major stone unturned for me. Probably my biggest regrets would be the absence of Pallas's cat and another tortoise (Pallas's cat anniversary animal?), but sacrifices must be made. If only two packs remain, keep the first and smash the latter two together. If just one remains, it's unfortunately got to be the first one.
 
The longer time + the fact that this current pack is all clones, definitely makes me think the next pack will have a few more rigs and heavy work animals than usual, everything’s back on the table - tree roo, baboon (please now there’s no reason not to 😭) coati, more birds, put all your cards on the table frontier please 🙏
Please not this again 🥲

Can we go at least one pack where people don't put expectations as high as the sun based on literally nothing other than pure speculation? We don't even know at this point if it's going to be a longer wait or not (August/September is also later this year), and if it is a longer wait, we don't even know if it's because their budget is going towards porting stuff to console so there's less time to work on the next pack.

It feels like every time another DLC is confirmed this community goes for the same "oh here we go again meme" where expectations are set higher based on nothing we can really know. 😂

100 % agree! Who knows, we could even get an exhibit animal pack! If we should have learnt something is not to take anything for granted.

Is it really fair to call them "clones" though? The only one that stands out as being truly similar to something we have in-game already is the donkey. The rest are all unique enough that I'd hesitate to call them clones... Obviously, yeah, all pig species look similar and they have a decent base. But it's not like they just took the peccary, made it pink, and called it a pig.

But beyond that, I'm gonna withhold judgement on the pack or whatever until I see the guest interactions and unique animations. I suspect those might be a bit more complicated (and interesting/fun!) than we're anticipating. I'd imagine that's where a lot of the energy went this time around. Especially considering that we also have six confirmed species (!!!) already in-game that probably get some sort of new animation with more pretty likely (e.g., llama, fallow deer).
 
My predictions at the moment:

Latin America Animal Pack
  1. Black Howler
  2. Whit-Nosed Coatimundi
  3. Spectacled Bear
  4. Ocelot
  5. Greater Rhea
  6. Patagonian Mara/Red-Rumped Agouti
  7. Golden Lion Tamarin
  8. Hoffman's Two-Toed Sloth (WE)
World Animal Pack?
  1. Black Howler
  2. White-Nosed Coatimundi
  3. Matschie's Tree Kangaroo
  4. Secretary Bird
  5. Walrus
  6. Hamadryas Baboon
  7. Markhor
  8. King Cobra (E)
 
Personally, I think around the world would be the way to go. If it’s like the last pack I wouldn’t even mind 7 animals plus some small but usable scenery. Obviously give SA the focus it needs!

I’m most excited because we got 4 birds in a row! That gives me a lot of hope for this last pack! I don’t think it will ever be a bird centric pack….

But, Domestics was a highly requested theme and became one of the final two DLCs. So aviary/ birds have been requested almost even longer. Really makes me think 🤔
 
Ok, soooo cool!!😱😭
If it’s not the last pack, I’m a bit less grumpy with this new pack, even if they missed the fantastic opportunity to put the incredible Flemish Giant Rabbit 😤 !!

I would LOVE a « world tour » mega animal pack (like 16 of the most requested animals).
You are letting me dream and I am a List maker maniac so...

WORLD TOUR MEGA ANIMAL PACK
  1. coati
  2. howler monkey
  3. spider monkey
  4. ocelot
  5. spectacled bear
  6. hamadryas Baboon
  7. musk ox
  8. walrus
  9. tree kangaroo
  10. markhor
  11. blackbuck
  12. secretary bird
  13. crowned crane
  14. white pelican
  15. panther chameleon (e)
  16. king cobra (e)
