✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community support with 102 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads.
- Fills a niche for players wanting more great ape diversity in their zoos.
- Recently updated (May 2025), so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 102 endorsements, so it's a smaller mod compared to popular animal packs.
- No detailed feature list, so you're getting just the animal without extra enrichment items or variations.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter animal behavior or genetics.
For Planet Zoo players who want to add a specific, real-world species to their collection and enjoy building naturalistic habitats for great apes. If you're looking for a comprehensive animal pack with multiple species or extensive customization, this might be too limited.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in your Planet Zoo mod folder (usually Documents/Planet Zoo/Mods).
- Make sure to enable mods in the game settings before loading your zoo.
- Check for updates after game patches, as mods may need recompiling.
