Game: Switch the DLC format

Marvinb

The recent talk about Scenery vs Animal pack got me thinking. Which 3 animals would i drop for the scenery in a hypothetical Animal to scenery pack switch.
How would you guys do it?

SEA: Dhole, tapir, clouded leopard - rather easy, since i barely use any them
NA: Cougar, alligator, moose - same here, a bit sad for the moose
Wetlands: Nile lechwe, caiman, water buffalo - the others are just more important to me
Grasslands: Wildebeest, emu, caracal - this one was definetly the hardest for me
Arid: Rhino, addax, dama, - just not the biggest fan

At first i wanted to also make the scenery packs into animal packs, but since there are more scenery packs you can just kinda put all the cut animals into the new animal packs and add even more on top, which kinda defeated the original idea :D.

Exactly the same, to be honest. I rarely use the 3, which is unfortunate because 2/3 are beautiful...


Here's what I'd do:
  • North America
    • Moose
    • Arctic fox
    • American beaver
  • Wetlands
    • Platypus
    • Nile lechwe
    • Wild water buffalo
  • Grasslands
    • Caracal
    • Blue wildebeest
    • Emu
  • Arid
    • Dama gazelle
    • Sand cat
    • Black rhino

The reason for my (controversial) list is because I rarely use said animals. But, of anything, this inspired me to wanna use them, now

Please not the Arctic Fox either :( I love Arctic Foxes, I think they rival red pandas in adorableness! And they survive some of the most hostile conditions on the Planet! Did you know they have been found within a reasonable distance of the North Pole? Or that they are found on distant shores from where they are originally caught?

To actually answer the question:
SEA: Clouded Leopard (just from bug), Tapir (apparently it looks wrong), Monkey (sorry)
NA: Sea Lion, Alligator, Prairie dog
Wetlands: any (I love the animals but its my least favorite animal pack), ok I guess: Otter, Platypus, Caiman
Grasslands: same as you guys
Arid: Dama :( , Rhino, Sand Cat :cry: )

I'm sorry, Synthe. I just tend to build in warmer climates and my indoor habitats look bad. But I'll try

SEA: Remove the Proboscis Monkey, Malayan Tapir and the Ussuri Dhole (surprised everyone’s voting out the leopard, like I get the bug but does it really need to be removed?)

North America: Remove the Alligator, Prairie Dog and Arctic Fox (again surprised why everyone’s voting out moose since it’s the icon of NA)

Wetlands: Remove the Buffalo, Caiman and Platypus (this one’s really hard)

Grasslands: Remove the Wildebeest, Armadillo and Striped Hyena.

Arid: Remove the Dama Gazelle, Black Rhino and Addax.

As someone who prefer animal packs, this is heart breaking 🥲, but for the sake of the game:

SEA: Clouded Leopard, Proboscis Monkey, Dhole
NA: Prairie Dog, American Alligator, Moose (I love them, but barely use them, incredibly hard decision though)
Wetlands: Nile Lechwe, Wild Water Buffalo, Spectacled Caiman
Grasslands: Blue Wildebeest, Caracal, Striped Hyena (Also very hard to sacrifice the hyena)
Arid: Sand Cat, Dama Gazelle, Black Rhino

Can only speak for myself, but i didnt kick out the clouded leopard because of the bugs but because we already have so many cats and i need the others more. Monkey to help the abysmal monkey selection, bear because its my favorite bear and most of the other bear look so fat, binturong just because its a unique animal and the pig just because i like it more than the other 3 left.
Moose is in a similar situation, sea lion is just a quintessential zoo animal, beaver and prairie dog to boost the kinda lacking small animal roster, and the fox to boost the also pretty lacking arctic roster.

Its not that i dislike any of the animals i voted out (ok except the tapir) , just when i have to chose which ones go out ill chose the ones i have the least use for

SEA: Proboscis Monkey, Dhole, “Malayan Tapir”

NA: Prairie Dog, Arctic Fox. Alligator (this was the hardest one for me since I really like all of them)

Wetlands: Spectacled Caiman, Wild Water Buffalo, Nile Lechwe (I see we’re in agreement here)

Grasslands: Armadillo, Caracal, Blue Wildebeest (Also difficult besides the Armadillo)

Arid - Dama Gazelle, Black Rhinoceros, Addax

...and from the distance you can hear a heart breaking sound of someone crying. It's the Sand Cat.

(Of course I would never ever remove it! I'd rather drop all of the antelopes and throw the Quokka on top of the hoof pile, just to keep all of the felines)

Very true. I consider all but the Prairie Dog essential and I still really like them as well. Such a difficult one to pare down

I could live without the American Aligator but probably like them more than any other Crocodilian-like animal we have. But other than that? NO! I always wanted the Prairie dog but never dared to dream...
The pack is also just a very nice pack for building low budget zoos of my area, if I'm honest. Maybe I wouldn't need the beaver, but then would be desperate for a Nutria (which is more common here).

So, without the NA I can almost second this, but would switch the Addax with the Sand Cat.
I'm sorry, I love cats, but they are Frontiers weakest spot model wise.

If talking about removing three animals from each of the Animal packs to make Scenery packs, then for me, here:

Southeast Asia: Babirusa, dhole and sun bear
North America: Well, I like all in that pack.
Wetlands Animal: Nile lewche, spectacled caiman and wild water buffalo
Grasslands Animal: well, I like most in that pack.
Arid Animals: Dama gazelle, addax and sand cat
