Similar to the Layton Lodge with pre-planned spots for each trophy. It would be nice to have a dedicated lodge that acts as a Lodge and a means to do further education on all the species in the game as they are added. Each reserve gets its own dedicated room and can be extended as new maps are introduced. Each continent gets a wing or something similar. It’d be nice to see dedicated multi mounts for every species with a Male/Female pair.
#Lodge for All Species

This sounds like a great idea in theory but in practice due to how much crossover and changes to species happen it would be impossible to do this without isolating those who do not have all dlc.
For instance your suggestion of each dlc adding a room what happens to duplicate species base game ones are fine but what about something like mule deer that are on multiple dlc maps.
What happens when they change a species like the splitting up of the bighorn sheep or backfilling species to other maps how does this alter the lodge.

Yeah, this would absolutely not be a free addition. If anything, you’d have a main hallway within each wing with a door leading into each reserves room. If you have the DLC the door is open, if not it is closed. If an animal is present on multiple maps then you’d include it in multiple rooms to showcase the entire reserves populace. If a backfill or subspecies update happens, it’d be an update. I’m not saying it’d be easy, that’s why this would be a massive thing. Heck, it could even have missions associated with finishing each reserve.

Biggest issue I see with this is how do you fund it? And does the dlc increase in price with every new addition? Or would the other (new) DLCs have to have a price increase to offset the work? While we desperately need a new lodge I’m not sure this is the best way to go about it as awesome as this would be. There’s also the issue on what the game can handle, full safari lodges already struggle at times so that would need to be looked into and changed as well if it’s even possible.

I’d be more than happy to pay more for a dynamic/expanding DLC.

Yes but how you pay for it matters, would it be a paid upgrade/separate DLCs to keep expanding it or would it be a $20 lodge so they can fund the expansions for a while? They can’t just give it the $3.99 tag and update it indefinitely. But how it’s funded will affect how the community as a whole receives the idea.

I’d pay the $20. People complain too much about the price of the DLCs. The vast majority of them are cheaper than $10. I’d even pay more if it came with a set of missions to give it more interactions.
