DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

Actually, as much as I enjoyed the theme of the pack, the particular choices kinda bummed me out. I was hoping for a generic pig/chicken and got 2 very specific breeds. The goat was ok but the dwarf would've been better. The cow is good, and I loved the alpaca and the donkey.
If we have a repeat of that, but only US, I'd be bummed out. I wanted it to be more international
If they did a second farm animal one, they need to pick a mix of exotic breeds (I'm so tempted to commission a Damascus goat as of lately) and typical “generic” breeds

  • Damara Sheep
  • African Pygmy Goat
  • Ankole Watusi
  • Spanish Mustang
  • Kune Kune Pig
  • Shetland Pony
  • Silky Chicken
I think this is a good mix of both exotic and familiar breeds that would complement with what we already have.

Not bad. I might trade in the mustang for something more like a duck. I like the American Pekin duck, as it looks like the stereotypical duck from cartoons. The Mandarin duck is beautiful, though. And whistling ducks are a hoot
 
In a perfect world for me?

DLC 18: Mountain/Highland
DLC 19: Latin America or wathever you want as long as it is focused on south/central america
DLC 20: Goodbye everyone, here is a beautiful "Around the world" pack
My dream 🥰

I wasn't. More domestics, please. Everybody loved them
I will definitely delete this game if any other domestic pack will ever come in the future 🤷🏽‍♂️
 
DLC 18 - Highlands
DLC 19 - Pacific Northwest (scenery) (Walrus headliner + Musk Ox, ABB)
DLC 20 - Rainforest (South America + Sifaka and maybe tree kangaroo if we don't get it in highlands)
DLC 21 - Savannah (Secretary Bird, Dik-Dik, Echidna)
DLC 22 - Birds of the World (mostly reusing existing rigs + duck/pelican)

TAKE MY MONEY!
 
Okay, this took me a few days. This is how I would finish things up if I were Frontier.

Yes this is greedy. Yes I like fluffy things. Yes I like smol things. Yes there are about a hundred monkeys in here.
These are not predictions, these are my wishes and dreams ✨

DLC18 - Highlands
Pallas Cat, Hanadryas Baboon, Markor
confirmed.
Abert's Squirrel: a rocky mountain squirrel of beautiful colouration.
Serow: an unusual ungulate adding rep for Japan.
Mountain hare: to finally give us a lagomorph
Rock hyrax: because they're fantastic. Huge range so highly flexible in use and could share an interspecies bonus with many other animals.
Three horned mountain chameleon: finally adding a chameleon and some much-needed colour to the pack.

DLC19 - Lat Am Animal Pack
Howler monkey, brown spider monkey and squirrel monkey -
to make up for the absolute dearth of SA monkeys in the game.
South American coati - this one's long overdue for me
Greater rhea - a wide-ranging habitat bird for SA grasslands
Southern Tamandua - popular zoo species with interesting behaviours to give us an arboreal anteater
Patagonian mara - to give the rhea its best friend. Strong flexibility in mixed pampas habitats
Pygmy marmoset WE - first of two small-mammal WEs I want to include.

1728145897763.png


DLC20 - Safari scenery pack
To fill a few gaps (IMO) in the African roster and complete it nicely.
Vervet monkey
Gerenuk
Honey badger
Secretary bird
Bushbaby WE


1728145766248.png


DLC21 - American scenery pack

To complete North America with some highly requested, iconic NA species (and a gray fox for my canine-loving buddies)
American black bear
Sea Otter
Gray fox
White tailed deer
Hummingbirds WE, mixed species


1728145925585.png


DLC22 - Rainforest Animal Pack

Bornean Pygmy Forest Elephant - what a headliner! Unusual in zoos but they are kept in captivity in some important SE Asian sanctuaries. This will become more important to protect and restore their conservation in the wild as their numbers are sadly dwindling.
Grey Shanked Douc Langur - a favourite monkey from my time in Vietnam. An extraordinarily beautiful primate and gives us a prettier monkey for tropical Asian sections. Another important conservation pick.
Bush dog - more SA rep and a different sized tropical canine
Goodfellow's tree monkey - highly requested fan favourite and more rep for Oceania
Margay - providing us with a very small and beautiful Amazonian cat
Slow loris - personal favourite and together with the aye-aye below, completes our nocturnal houses with a common-in-captivity species
Aye aye - as above, to complete the nocturnal roster and add a highly unique type of lemur steeped in mythology and intrigue
Rainbow lorikeet WE - more Oceania rep and a much-longed for WE flying bird

EDIT: Regretful omissions

Tanuki -
I would really love this animal. It's probably in my top 5 most wanted, but I just couldn't find a spot for it.
Waterfowl - The best place for a duck would be to swap out on the NA species. I just went with personal preference, with the deer I can make a Disney zoo with Bambi and the Jungle Book. The gray fox is a non-compromise for me!
More birds, especially the Roseate Spoonbill and the Blue or Grey-Crowned Crane. I'd also love a hornbill and some macaws. I decided to avoid habitat aviary birds and I chose the Secretary bird over a crane, just because it's so highly requested and it's a total badass.
Short-beaked echidna - this could easily replace the margay in the rainforest pack. It's an either/or for me. I went with more SA rep.

Perfect picks for all of the packs! My only personal issue is the elephant, (could work very well to general audience) and the hare in the highland pack.

Totally fair, why wouldn't you pick the hare? Just curious. Feel like we really need a lagomorph at some point and this feels like a good opportunity for one that modders can build upon. I'm missing rabbits from the game personally but I get that there isn't a strong zoological conservation need for them.

No idea to be honest. I just don’t want a rabbit that much and would rather get a domestic one.
