@arctic palm mentioned *A new trophy lodge would be great, and it should definitely have more plaques than Saseka. I think a NA theme, like Yukon or SRP, would work really well for the lodge.

Along with the trophy lodge, there could be an update to include European mounts and more multimounts.*

.

@sly marten mentioned Add a 2 story lodge with each floor being roughly the same size as seaska safari but with the look of spring creek or a log cabin

[narrow obsidian]

Is t there already a lodge thread open from today?

[onyx hedge]

We have decided to make 1 thread and merge most to all posts together into 1! This way we can keep the threads more organized for us moderators and staff to keep up with😊

[narrow obsidian]

Gotcha👍🏻

[onyx hedge]

@fiery raft mentioned Also customizable platforms with grass, bushes or stones would be great

[soft plume]

@onyx hedge Thank you. Great Thread. For a new lodge or the lodges, we do have I would love to be able to fully customize and also customize what goes on the trophy mounts and where they are placed in the lodge. Fingers crossed

[misty frigate]

A northern style one

[soft plume]

There's a lot of space that's used up for items we can't access ex: a pool table, pool, showers outside, furniture outside, and a closet in saseka safari. Plaques mounts and multi mounts would be nice outside of the lodge, Also, the pool table and other furniture/game items would be better for mounts. The mounts with the lamps on Xbox do nothing to make the birds/rabbits stand out. Brighter lights or better mount placement for the smaller animals.

[sly marten]

Hanging cables for birds would be a nice edition too

[misty frigate]

YES

[exotic escarp]

It would be great if they would add some type of search for your animals in the lodge when you go to mount them. It gets old trying to scroll through tons of animals trying to find what you want. Maybe have a tab to hit for the species and different tabs for fur type to minimize the search. I would also like a Silver Ridge cabin style lodge. But make it massive lol. Try to minimize any decor so you have more room for multi mounts.

[misty frigate]

Make your own mounts instead?

[exotic escarp]

That would be pretty nice!

[misty frigate]

Yeah but it would be chaos kinda

[agile saffron]

Some habitat structures in a log style cabin would be pretty cool that you could place mounts in.

[misty frigate]

Like props

[civic hare]

lodges

[shrewd jolt]

A Parque-style lodge like the one you decorate over the course of that one side-mission. Quite a few assets already exist in-game.

[agile saffron]

A Scheels type structure would be so cool.

[steady geode]

I wanted to throw out there that we don't have European mounts or skull mounts in this game, would absolutely love to see them in the future.

[onyx hedge]

@vestal scarab mentioned I also think it would be pretty cool to be able to frame your favorite pictures and put them up in your lodges. Just a feature idea, nothing too big or important

A thread started by @civic hare . Im just going to link the thread here, because theres so many upvotes, i dont want those to be gone

@cerulean zephyr mentioned Why don’t we have fun mounts like this for our lodges?

[violet obsidian]

I think a new trophy lodge located in the same type of environment as New England Mountains would be pretty cool. That would give us some nice mountain views to serve as a backdrop for our trophies, not to mention the pretty fall colors which would add to the background scenery. It would be the perfect place for all of our North American trophies.

[obsidian sail]

I think it would be interesting if we had the ability to swap out the paintings for pictures we've taken in-game, to truly make the lodge our own.

[civic hare]

I think there are a lot of hints in the free Cabin that are going to be implemented in our DLC lodges

[sly marten]

Hopefully

Imagine being able to build one of those antler chandeliers and having to harvest the antlers

[tidal delta]

I think if we’re going to do gun displays to keep them a little more chill. I feel like there’s at least 2X as many as there should be in Saseka Safari

[sly marten]

They should replace a bunch with euro mount plaques and possibly furs hanging on the wall

[tidal delta]

I think it would be cool if every map had a smaller lodge on the map itself, kinda like parque.

[viscid wasp]

I would love to see fully customizable trophy lodges with the ability to put Trophy Captures on the walls. Where we can put our trophy mounts anywhere we want! And skull mounts would be amazing!

[civic hare]

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get a new dlc lodge this year ... probably in the fall break .... Maybe even with some enhancements that we have been asking for

[torn ridge]

@exotic escarp It would be great if they would add some type of search for your animals in the lodge when you go to mount them. It gets old trying to scroll through tons of animals trying to find what you want. Maybe have a tab to hit for the species and different tabs for fur type to minimize the search.

Yes, we desperately need a search filter. You should be able to search by species, score, rare fur types, and medal levels. My manager is so full it would take me days to search through it all to try and make my lodge exactly how I want it.

[agile saffron]

You get the lodge you deserve, not the lodge you asked for. -Lt. Gordon, Batman

[zealous quiver]

Are we allowed to ask why you decided to make a megathread for this specific subject, and is it a sign that there is a full size trophy lodge on the horizon?

[agile saffron]

I certainly hope so.

[zealous quiver]

Uny is a pretty senior Moderator so this might be a rare instance where they actually got word from EW to collect feedback.

Or he made this in preparation for removing your thread where you state that you're annoyed with the lack of a new lodge (can be interpreted as somewhat presumptuous by some people with the right glasses on, no offense).
Notice he didn't mention you once despite your thread being one of the more active ones.

[onyx hedge]

Of course youre allowed to ask. 😊 We thought it was gonna be a good idea to make 1 thread (i havent kept up with it the past few days), to reduce the amount of "duplicated" threads. Since a Trophy Lodge is something we all (almost all) want, and we all have our own different ideas for it, we might as well collect it in 1 place, to make it easier for the devs as well😊 I hope this makes sense.

[onyx hedge]

Im actually not a Senior Moderator and dont have any insight into whats coming whatsoever. 😊 I dont know any more than you do

[zealous quiver]

Makes a lot of sense.

For the record I'm a huge fan of the free mini lodge. I don't have a lodge and this was exactly the right thing for me.

[zealous quiver]

I could've sworn I've heard jaxy mention you by name multiple times on stream 😅

[onyx hedge]

Im glad youre a fan!!! Makes me happy to hear and im sure the devs are too

[onyx hedge]

Whoops, i wouldnt know if he mentioned me, i mustve missed that. 😅

[agile saffron]

Idk who "HE" is, nor was I looking for anyone in paticular to respond. Just wanted to see if there were others on here that felt the same way. I'm new on the discord within the last couple weeks. I'm somewhat active for 13ish years on Missouri Whiteails forum (real life hunting stuff). Passive aggressive banter there is pretty normal. You have mentioned it twice now. I could have worded it different but I didn't. Did not seem to be too aggressive to me but I don't really know what is normal on here yet either.

[zealous quiver]

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem passive aggressive.
I was trying to, as respectfully as possible, imply that the title was why you weren't mentioned here.
Yes I mentioned it twice. You asked about downvotes in your own thread and I kind of addressed that there. Then you showed up here and replied to my comment so thats why it came up twice.
I won't pursue the matter further.

Hm, yes the moderator is a She. Apologies for the wrongful assumption.

[onyx hedge]

No problem!! 🙏🏽😊

[agile saffron]

I didn't think you were passive aggressive. I'm saying my title was. No biggie. This is a pretty cool deal here. I didn't even know what a Discord was except hearing Jaxy beard talk about it on YouTube.

[sage relic]

That would be great. There is a whitetail skull on a shelf, would be awesome if we could have such mounts.

[civic hare]

Dont forget the pictures sitting on the table in the office ... Go back and look at his video to see what he said ....

[exotic escarp]

What do you all think about postponing a new map if you could get a New lodge with tons of mounting options, more multi mounts and a search option for the trophy manager ?

[sacred depot]

All these idares are awsom
Can I ask for the doors not to hit me in the face when going to open.
That's the only thing that bugs me about loges. May be add some cool animalis rugs aso some monts in the bathroom

[zealous quiver]

Not if its Africa or Australia 😅

[sacred depot]

Maybe like this

[zealous quiver]

These.

[exotic escarp]

I'm just afraid if the try to do a lodge dlc in-between maps it's not going to be what the community wants because they won't have the time they need. I don't think the have the resources to do both.

[sly marten]

They did it before

[zealous quiver]

Don't forget they now have the assets from the new Mini-Lodge and they might choose to recycle those for a full scale one.
As hinted by Jaxy: https://www.youtube.com/live/hnaqCVThYvo?feature=share&t=994 (has timestamp).

[civic hare]

We already have 13 reserves and while I don't want them to stop making reserves all together, I would be okay with them skipping the midyear reserve for 2 dlc's that we have been asking for,

Like maybe a new larger trophy lodge with additional features we have been asking for. As for a 2nd DLC maybe a new dog type and or breed to hunt with .... So 2 smaller dlc's instead of 1 big dlc reserve. I would be okay with that ....

[agile saffron]

I agree. I would think a new retrieving dog for ducks and small game would be a pretty big undertaking so it would make a lot of sense to do it how you suggested.

[exotic escarp]

Something like this with the rocks and brush in the mounts would be awesome. We really need a new Paid DLC lodge and the ability to filter through the Trophy Manger. Hopefully they can add it this fall after the new map release. Please give this thread some love everyone. Show them we want this.

[zealous quiver]

How about you make the game run correctly and not corrupt peoples saves before adding more gimmick features to the game.

[obsidian sail]

That would be great, I think everyone would agree, but since it's not related to the lodges probably shouldn't be here 🙂

[zealous quiver]

This is exactly the right place because they don't read #1062059141436297246 and because stuff like mini-lodges are the thing they should prioritize lower than fixing the game.

[obsidian sail]

I assume you have tried submitting a proper ticket at the support website?

[zealous quiver]

Trust me I've been in contact with them about numerous bugs via support tickets but right now there is a massive surge in players experiencing crashes and it looks like they are caused by save corruption. This is not about me.

[obsidian sail]

I've had them too, just trying to put the requests/reports where they are intended to be. I'm glad there's people like you who make their absolute best to improve the game, just maybe don't do it here sonce this was made for the lodges

[worthy basin]

I’d love to see a lot of life added to trophy lodges. Different types of stands, platforms, props, and multimounts, that could help players make it more their lodge, and breath that extra bit of life in them.

[shy horizon]

I think we need a BIG log mountain trophy lodge that is based in Silver Ridge Peaks, or Yukon Valley also more customizable multi-mounts, would be sweet!!

[lofty magnet]

Please add customization and lodge presets so we can choose the lodge we like and the furniture. Also 2 story lodges are great! The gamepass should be 6-8 dollars in my opinion

[cunning urchin]

Post made by @lofty magnet

[lofty magnet]

Thanks I forgot that this link existed

[cunning urchin]

Np

[exotic escarp]

On the next lodge I suggest to make the ceilings taller. My rocky mountain elks antlers are to big to fit in the other lodges we have 🤣 . In some places their antlers are in the ceiling.

[lofty magnet]

So this is for mounts. We need wall full body mounts, somewhat like cabelas. Also I think we need fish tanks somewhere. They look great in lodges with a huge mount like a mountain side kinda like the one posted above this.

[gray hedge]

I think we need skull mounts in lodges, I made a post about it here: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1083872229474975804

[civic hare]

Let us customize the lodges more ... add buttons to the displays and plaques for us to upload pictures so we can record more info on each kill. It might take 10's of hours of game time to find and kill a diamond or 100's of hours to find a rare or GO so give us lots of reasonable ability to record as much info as we can about the trophy

Let us swap out wall plaques with picture frames where we can upload pictures. Console players especially want a picture gallery . You can do that with the trophy lodges .....

[steady geode]

Another thing that's not talked about enough is the fact that we still have species like Bluewildabeest, springbok, sika deer, and a handful of other species that do not have multimounts

[vestal scarab]

Pronghorn multimount pleaaase. I don't even care what it's paired with, I just want a pronghorn multi mount

[exotic escarp]

I would love to have some rocks like this in the corner to put mounts on in a new paid lodge DLC

[exotic escarp]

I seen these wall mounts online. Something like this could be nice as well.

[exotic escarp]

They could add some skull mounts to the entrance of the lodge.

[versed cosmos]

something like this where two cape buffalos are fighting

[prime quest]

A full body animal plaque on the wall of the lodge, two stories,Rocks and tall grass the ability to change the bottom of the plaque

[vestal scarab]

Multimount ideas

• two male gray wolves fighting for dominance

• two or three bobwhite quail

• more duck/waterfowl mounts

• two to four European rabbits

• one Willow and one rock ptarmigan

• pronghorn. I don't care what it's paired with, but pronghorn.

Just a few for now

[violet obsidian]

I'd also like to see a multimount featuring a pack of wolves chasing/attacking a moose

[sacred depot]

Don't know if this is possible but an animated mount so the deer moves on its stand maybe eating grass or something

As if the deer or animal is alive in your lodge almost

[edgy basin]

make that lodges will have frames for photos where we could put screenshots

[worthy scarab]

An old English mansion with multiple wings of the building to accomodate many size mounts and bring back the ability to place any mount on any size platform. When I think of a huge mansion , I think of hundreds of mounts from the many safaris and hunting excurisons. A library , fireplaces and an armory. It would be amazing if we could have a crossover from the Angler as well.

[marble quartz]

I haven’t read through all of this but I think the ability to display some of the relics that you find would be cool, I know there is a helmet you can find in the canyon on Hirschfeld but if there are others, I think it would be cool to be able to display them

[vestal scarab]

Another red deer mount or two. Maybe one with two males instead of male and female or something.

[placid wagon]

add lodge filters

[open bloom]

A pool table we could play pool on?

[open bloom]

Love the PFP 😉

[edgy basin]

add shelves like this where we could place small animals like rabbits or birds

would be cool if there were really big multi trophy mounts with like 8 peccaries or 5-7 wild hogs/feral pigs

[lofty magnet]

I think a cool edition could be hide rugs, tapestry’s or mats because some animal hides are really unique and it would be super fun to show only the hide off

[prime quest]

If Africa 2.0 gets added I’d kill for a zebra rug

[gloomy turtle]

Can we get just one lodge that isn’t bougie as fuck? Just a little cabin with your favourite trophies is all I want

[exotic escarp]

@gloomy turtle I want a log cabin style as well, but i want it massive 🤣

[sage relic]

Would be nice if we could decide the size of the plate. This way we can make our lodge truly unique. Like when we interact with for example a wall plate, we can change the size of it before we place an animal there. This way we can decide how many small or big game we wanna display and still have the fitting plates for it.

[lofty magnet]

Me too

[vestal scarab]

I think it would be kind of cool if we can set one of the taxidermy poses as the position it died in/shows up in the harvest screen as. Some of them look pretty cool. Not sure if it would be possible to do though

[dusky parcel]

I have no idea if it has been said because I don't have the time to read through everything, but at least 1-2 multi mounts for each animal would be nice :)

[junior apex]

I don't know if we already offer it but I would have liked to see those montages for all species:
-male and one female or two females.
-two male fighting.

For ducks a XL mont with 10 ducks or more in the motion of taking off.

[ebon crag]

1. Let us sort the list of harvested animals(spieces/medals/score/date...)
2. Let us rename the lodges.
3. More places to put trophies.

[exotic escarp]

Since the introduction of the great one moose I think we need more options to mount moose. The other lodges don't have enough moose plaques

[soft plume]

We need a new lodge

[soft plume]

@exotic escarp I like the idea of having new lodges especially ones we can use our mounts anyway we want.

@open bloom like removing the pool table and use that space for mounts. Also getting rid of non used items so we have more mounts. We can't sit outside and we can't put mounts outside. Theres a lots of useless space we could be using for trophy mounts.

[silk birch]

A lodge with the look of Layton and double the size of Saseka would be awesome! I would keep things such a pool table, chairs, etc though. Just have them in a spot where it doesn't take that much space

[prime quest]

I don’t know I think it adds to the realism

[exotic escarp]

@soft plume I agree the outside area is wasted space.

@soft plume Put a roof over it and add some big base mounts 🤣

[prime quest]

That’s what I like about the Layton Trophy cabin it feel’s livable

[exotic escarp]

A waterfowl room with some mounts like this please.

[exotic escarp]

Some Upland game bird mounts like these would be nice

[prime quest]

Perhaps a tall ceiling with strings,Connected to those strings would be your choice of fowl as well

[exotic escarp]

@prime quest I wouldn't mind that but would prefer a group pedestal option over that.

[exotic escarp]

Some Euro and Skull mounts would be nice as well.

[fiery raft]

This should be the next update instead of a weapon pack

[tacit sleet]

It would be pretty nice to see a wildlife photography section for a lodge, where you can show off your in-game screenshots. Got a screenshot of a herd of elk? Took a nice photograph of the king of beasts? Mount the photo in your lodge for your friends to see!

[silk birch]

Would love to see the Huddle style multi-mounts expanded to the rest of the deer species, or at least red deer, blacktail, and mule deer

[elfin dome]

I don't know if it was said but I would really like Cliff mounts and the ability to add water to the base of the mount for gators, crocs, and waterfowl

[prime quest]

If they added a mule deer huddle I’d literally have an entire lodge of just mulie huddles

[exotic escarp]

@elfin dome that's exactly what I want. It would look so good.

[elfin dome]

For sure

[crystal laurel]

Trophy Stand Customization

This may include changing the type of wood on plaques, and group stands being able to change the terrian, for explain, I got a diamond reindeer, and I could change the stand terrain to medved type tundra because thats where I got it.

Also, adding things like large rocks and other stuff like wood you can add to your mount to make more positions for it to look cool!

It would cost extra money to change the style of it and stuff like that.

[nocturne sequoia]

I think taking all the current mount locations and changing them from their current plaque or stand type and setting them to hard points that you could then pick and choose what mount you want to place there would be ideal. So if you don't want any small plaques in your lodge you could choose medium or large. Same with stands, because it'd be nice to place more large multi-mounts around.

Also don't limit the size of the animal to the size of the plaque or mount. Sticking a jackal head on a medium mount looks wrong and should be able to be placed on a smaller mount.

Adding to the customization choices, like others have said, have different terrain types for stands you can cycle through for your preference. Winter MedVed, Africa, Rock ledges (bigger animals or groups of small game).

I think the biggest and most complicated option would be to have a base structure for the building, but then have multiple skin options for what it could look like. Choices between things like log cabin, Spanish stucco mission, Mediterranean, European, etc. They could add new skins for it periodically over time. The base structure could have a massive great room that was open for two stories with a giant mountain stand in the center with walkways going around it on both levels to view your trophies. Then have many other smaller rooms of varying sizes making up the remainder of the structure with the hard points I mentioned above to place any other trophies on. This way players could have a lodge that can be built multiple times but each could look vastly different from each other.

[copper crest]

My most wanted thing, a huge new lodge, I’ll pay more for something bigger than saseka

[silk birch]

Maybe just remove the size limitations on plaques and platforms? Meaning let us place any trophy/multi-mount on any plaque or platform regardless of size. This way the players can decide if a trophy looks good on a certain plaque or platform and we aren’t limited by what the game thinks looks good on certain plaques and platforms.

The image above is a perfect example of what I’m referring to. The black bear fits nicely into this small size platform in most of the available poses, but the game does not normally allow you to place black bears on these size platforms. This was done back when the famous “trophy lodge glitch” was still around. When the glitch was accidentally patched the devs said they aren’t sure how to “un-fix” the glitch. I think they should just remove the size limitations. I’m not knowledgeable on game development and programming but I think this could be done by setting all current and future trophies/multi mounts to “extra small” as that is the smallest available plaque and platform iirc.

[marble quartz]

Allow us to change the bottoms of the mount spots, to different themes to better match what we’re trying to put in them. The logs look gross in the safari lodge

[nocturne sequoia]

I'd love to create my own multi-mounts. I want to put my two diamond feral goats together, or a group of two or three bison mixed between plains and European, or have a croc and a gator together. There are so many ideas I'd love to create but I can't currently.

[small rose]

I don't know if this was already said, but I would love a shooting range in a lodge with 3d targets of deer, turkey, etc for bows (Kinda like the one pictured below) while still having targets like those that are on hirschfelden

[exotic escarp]

@small rose I would love to see something like this

[prime quest]

I’d love to see a Parque style lodge,Maybe it could come with a shooting range with targets of your choosing

Maybe the choice to have either a landscape mount such as https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1124836811362017401 or a shooting range would be great

[robust crater]

When I think about future lodge I know it is hard to invent new style we have European resident, African willa and american house but still have a lot animals which doesn't fit to any of them so my proposition is ,, add museum of nature "(a really big building ) where u can choose climate of room and get habitat adequate/suitable to all types of animals
The first big minus I think about it is that it must be big to make impress so in won't cost about 3$ but more like 10$ from other site that lodge can combine all lodge u can have room with mountains/ African/ forest/ mangroves etc styles
