Huge thanks to MikeyNJ for supporting the creation of this remaster!
• This mod updates the looks of the existing Black wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou). It improves the anatomy, adds alphas everywhere and remakes the textures, as well as adding dimorphism (females now have smaller horns).
• The remaster changes the look of male and female.
• New UI images for the zoopedia.
This mod requires ACSE to work. Make sure you have it installed beforehand!
To install this mod, simply extract the zip and place the extracted folder in the ovldata folder of the game. Unlike other mods, this remaster doesn't require replacing the original files to work and will apply by just placing it in the ovldata folder!
Enjoy the mod. Cheers!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Straightforward visual upgrade that fixes a common complaint about the base game animal
- Decent community traction with 178 endorsements and over 7,000 downloads
- Lightweight cosmetic mod that doesn't touch gameplay mechanics
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the black wildebeest, so if you want other animals remastered, this won't help
- Last updated in September 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same animal's model or textures
For Planet Zoo players who are bothered by the default black wildebeest's low-quality fur and want a quick visual fix. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or remasters of multiple species.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod files in the correct folder (usually 'win64/ovldata' in your Planet Zoo directory) to ensure it loads properly.
- If you use other animal mods, check load order or use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Verify the mod works by visiting a zoo with black wildebeest after installation.
