I was looking at the list of animals earlier today and I noticed we only have 7 monkeys what if we had some more monkeys some of the smaller monkeys like the marmosets and the Black Lion tamarin could be put in a walkthrough exhibit because of there small size. I’m officially out of ideas.
New World Monkeys Pack
- Thread starter Brandon Gill
- Start date
That's a very specific pack, but genuinely one with some appeal. Could be something like this:
- Black-and-Gold Howler
- Red-Faced Spider Monkey
- White-Faced Saki
- Guinean Squirrel Monkey
- Golden Lion Tamarin
- Grey-Handed Night Monkey
- Common Woolly Monkey
- There aren't any good Exhibit Animal options here because it's such a niche pack idea - throw in some log pieces (so people can make cabins or likewise) and a bunch of toys as a substitute
Excluding apes we actually only got 5: mandrill, macaque, capuchin, proboscis and baboon
2 from Asia, 2 from Africa, 1 from southamerica... Being also the only one with a classic monkey look.
Sure SA needs one more to be equal to the other two continenta but those continenta also need more "classic" monkeys.
Wow, the monkey situation is pretty dire... I think a monkey animal pack is needed. I'm not the biggest monkey fan, so if I can see how bad the monkey roster is anyone can. LOL.
I just hope the monkey pack could have the Black Howler Monkey, the Lion-tailed Macaque and/or the Black and White colobus! Those are the only monkeys I am rooting for personally. Although Geoffroy's Spider Monkey could be cool since my parents might have seen them in the wild.
I'd be pretty happy with a pack each for New and Old world monkeys.
For the New World Monkey Pack:
For the Old World Monkey Pack:
If I could only get one, I'd try to cover the zoo classics and regional picks.
For the New World Monkey Pack:
- Golden Lion Tamarin: Famous and beautiful conservation species that brings a mini-monkey rig
- Geoffroy's Spider Monkey: These would be so cool if possible
- Cotton Top Tamarin: Tamarins are so common that at least a second species could be justified. This one isn't as popular or famous, but it is very common in zoos.
- Black Howler Monkey: The most popular South American monkey would add to the soundscape.
- Common Squirrel Monkey: These are adorable and pretty basic.
- Emperor Tamarin: Another good tamarin that actually lives in the Amazon.
- Red Uakari: It would add a very odd oddball.
- Honorable mentions white-faced saki, tufted capuchin, night monkey, titi: The first two are zoo staples and great choices to include in a primate lineup. The other two are cool.
For the Old World Monkey Pack:
- Mantled Guereza: This is the most popular of the zoo classic African monkeys, another unaddressed niche.
- De Brazza's Guenon: A second African monkey would be great for variety and bigger zoo sections.
- Barbary Macaque: Europe's monkey
- Grey Langur: Famous Indian monkey that adds a classic langur
- Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey: China's monkey
- Red Shanked Douc: My favorite old-world monkey
- Lion-Tailed Macaque: Another iconic one for India and adds a tropical macaque
- Honorable Mentions: Patas Monkey, Grivet Monkey, Wolf's Guenon, Aye-Aye, Gelada: More African monkeys would be good, I like the idea of a nocturnal primate, and the gelada is popular.
If I could only get one, I'd try to cover the zoo classics and regional picks.
- Mantled Guereza: I need at least one 'classic' African monkey. It's a pretty basic zoo niche. I might personally trade one of the next 3 for a similar De Brazza's guenon, but I want everyone or at least as many as possible to be happy.
- Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey: This seems to be the animal, not just monkey, that Chinese players want most.
- Barbary Macaque: If everybody else is getting monkeys, Europe should get its monkey, too. The Iberian Peninsula could use a thing.
- Grey Langur: India needs one
- Black Howler Monkey: Popular South American Monkey
- Geoffroy's Spider Monkey: Cool South American Monkey
- Common Squirrel Monkey: I want tamarins more if I have to choose, but this one's also cute and basic
- Tamarins, including the Golden Lion and Cotton Top, in lieu of exhibit animals or scenery: Tamarins are very common in zoos, and I miss them almost every time I play.
Not too interested in a pack that features just one group of mammals, but I would 100% buy a new World Monkey pack. There's interest enough for it.
Rather than two squirrel monkeys AND a Capuchin though, I'd include either or both of a Night Monkey and Wooly Monkey, or the Emperor Tamarin

Oh sorry I was counting the gibbons because they are considered monkeys.
All apes are monkeys, Old World monkeys to be more specific
Believe it or not this pack I posted on here in the picture has both old world and new world monkeys I just cropped it that’s all.
Oh I didn’t realize that sorry.

The ones I want that are mostly the most common at all the zoos I've seen here:
1. Golden Lion Tamarin
2. Cotton-top Tamarin
3. Common Marmoset
4. Pygmy Marmoset (I suppose this could be replaced with any Saki species of monkey if necessary but I think it would be nice to have 2 species of Marmoset.)
5. Central American Squirrel Monkey or Ecuadorian Squirrel Monkey (one of 3 different species formerly all grouped together as the Common Squirrel monkey.)
6. Brown Howler Monkey or Purus Red Howler Monkey (Super pretty red monkey but kind of an obscure oddball not really common in zoos. I just saw them on Wikipedia when I
looked up Howler monkeys and they have my favorite appearance of them all.) The Black Howler monkey is also really common but I personally prefer the aesthetic of the brown and/or red ones.
7. Geoffrey's Spider Monkey
1. Golden Lion Tamarin
2. Cotton-top Tamarin
3. Common Marmoset
4. Pygmy Marmoset (I suppose this could be replaced with any Saki species of monkey if necessary but I think it would be nice to have 2 species of Marmoset.)

I updated my old primate wishlists because some new packs have been released in the meantime. So I replaced the monkey species from my previous wishlists that are now in the game with new ones that aren't in the game yet, but I hope they will be added in the future.
