📋 About This Mod
ASIAN GOLDEN CAT
To install, extract the .zip file into the "ovldata" folder of your Planet Zoo installation. Do not change the mod folder name, this will cause it to crash!
(\steamapps\common\Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata)
This animal is based off of the Cougar, and will use that species' enrichment and food items.
NOTE: The 1. 18 update changes this mod's codename. Please remove the old mod folder (Golcatas) from your ovldata before installing this one.
This unfortunately also means that any Asian Golden Cats currently present in savegames will be removed and need to be replaced.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
This mod requires
ACSE.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 270 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Fresh update from July 2025, so it's actively maintained.
- Adds a rarely seen species, giving your zoo something unique.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds one species, so it's a small addition if you're looking for a big pack.
- No details on how many variants or what they look like, so you're going in blind.
- Potential compatibility issues with other animal mods that alter the same game files.
For Planet Zoo players who want to add a rare and elusive cat to their collections. If you're a completionist or enjoy building diverse habitats, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're after major gameplay overhauls or large content packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder (usually 'Win64' or 'OVERRIDE') to avoid issues.
- Check if the mod requires any DLC or other mods by reading the mod page comments before installing.
- If you're using other animal mods, test this one in a separate zoo first to avoid conflicts.
