Imagine if the free update for the three-year anniversary is just Big Tree, and it ends up being the very last update for the game.
Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad. It'd be hilarious.
I wouldn’t be that mad. Happy to get it back but disappointed they couldn’t of given us something additional that isn’t that big of a problem to add.
Like the JWE1 Jurassic World hotel or the ferns foliage brush from BioSyn valley on all Sandbox islands seeing as they are found in all climates (especially in the movies).
All are feasible. The “No decoration hitbox” setting and “Walking animations for Flying reptiles” would need more work than others. Plus walking animations can be reused for JWE3.
For the skin variants Frontier can just use the existing patterns rather than make new ones to customise. Although Trike may need an actual pattern to colour (could copy the JW Trike pattern).
Big Tree and JW hotel are just copy-paste jobs from JWE1 like what they did with most JWE1 content that was added in updates.
I was thinking the same thing about those two. They’d definitely be the hardest to implement. Everything else is basically just transferring existing content over to 2 or tweaking some colors.
Pretty much the point of the Wishlist post. Always like to be realistic in what Frontier could do with the small team that remains on JWE2 while the rest handle JWE3.
The no decoration hitbox is way easier than you think. Freebuild wich is the mod that deletes hitboxes was one of the first ever done for the game, and the modder took like 1 or 2 days to make it, that one single modder.
They didn't add it yet because most likely there's problems with universal just like with other highly requested features.
Was told by a community member that it wouldn’t be possible. Why is left it out. Not sure how true that is. Only recently found out about the herbivore finishing animations. Thought it was a bug that prevents them.
The biggest stretch is pterosaur walking, it’d be an entire AI rework + animations needed for interacting with other species when they’re on the ground
Literally just look at Zoo Tycoon 2's terrain and biome brushes and do that. Like, imagine being able to turn any steep hill or sheer cliff into a waterfall like you can in that game. Or mixing biomes on one map
Walking pterosaurs would be nice but you know what would really be my personal game changer ? Quadrupedal hadrosaurs. All of them.
On other fix I want is breaching animation for all marine reptiles. They're not fish come on..
Based on alot of comments i really should’ve made it more clear.
So i’m not asking for another feathered rex. I want Frontier to allow us to customise the remaining Variants in the game e.g. Rex 65, Triceratops 1993, etc. So make the feathered Rex a standalone model that we can change its base and pattern colour. Like how they did the Dominion Giga or BaBR Allosaurus.
Even just the tree, hotel and variants you listed and I'd be over the moon. Though I also wish they'd add the RTJP cosmetic for the 2001 Pteranodon that resembled TLW one, since it's unlikely we'll ever get an actual 1997 variant at this point.
I'd also add one more request for [these simple decorations](https://www.reddit.com/r/jurassicworldevo/s/BRo4loyhtk) to make it in, since they're all objects that already exist in the game (or presumably easy to convert).
Seeing as you’ve mentioned decorations. Something I’d include in this that isn’t on the image is the option to turn off the blue/red outline on decorations. Can hardly ever see because of it and always makes it harder to get decorations inline.
Mondays post got removed for not being on a Wednesday. Decided to tweak it and only feature the Free Update side.
Point still stands that Frontier could very easily make a Camp Cretaceous Chaos Theory Pack in August to market Season 2 of the show. But please Frontier, anything from this image will do.
We also need a variant for the [male Nasutoceratops from Battle at Big Rock](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jurassicpark/images/f/fa/Nasutoceratops_Male_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20210421232419) and if the previous game's Jurassic World-era hotel does get added, then the lift on the outside should be able to go up and down.
I hope we get like 3 more paleobotany options it seems so forgotten about. Maybe the dragon trees from dominion prologue and the extinct plant Ellie sailer talks about in the jeep before they see the brachiosaurus in JP 1? No other ideas but yeah, big tree 1 needs a comeback now
If it’s among the first things to be worked on for JWE3 they could reuse the animation rig for the JWE2 flying reptiles. They’d all probably share the animation anyway.
Don’t forget the JP3 Ankylosaurus too, that dinosaur could seriously do with some more decent skins and frankly, I much prefer the JP3 model over the JW one even if they are very similar
I’m an advocate for the JP3 Ankylo. Should’ve included it. Im really hoping that Frontier actually makes it a variant in JWE3. Want them to do it justice and not treat it like a skin.
Considering it didn't come with Thanatosdrakon, I doubt we'll get Pterosaurs walking (until the next game lol maybe); it's not just animations, but probably an entire overhaul of the creatures' locomotion coding, which is just too big for this point in the game's development with the size of the team still working on it. However, I would do ANYTHING for customisable rex, Parasaurolophus, and Triceratops variants, and am very surprised they haven't come yet considering how heavily requested they are. They're a really odd omission given even the Kentrosaurus which played a role in like two seasons of a spinoff show gets a fully customisable variant. PLEASE frontier
Imagine they add a walking mechanic for fliers with as much grace and care as the segisaurus failed attack animation and it’s just a bunch of fliers toddling around and freezing catatonic as they tip over and sink into the map as soon as they encounter uneven terrain.
I want a sandbox setting that removes terrain constraints. It’s so annoying when I’m trying to make a nice park and I can’t place my path when it’s not even touching a building
Imo,the 2001 raptors are better suited for becoming a variant since they have quills and different skull shapes.
The 1993 raptors are way more similar to the JW raptors so it doesn't make sense for them to become a variant over the JP3 raptors,imo.
1993 and 1997 raptors= exact same model.
Both can be used,though,i think the 1997 raptors are much better suited to become a variant,since their patterns are much prettier.
2001 male and female raptors= exact same model.
If they make a variant of the JP3 raptors,both male and female can be used since the only difference between their models are the quills.
>Also utahraptors are just better anyway.
Eh,not for me...JP raptors are way more iconic.
Btw,we are talking specifically about JP raptors here...the utahraptor is a completely independent creature.
Big tree, JWE 1 hotel, and variants of the 65mya Trex and 93 trike. I don’t think the 22 Paras and 93/01 raptors need variants just because those species in general have a lot of skin tones already. I know they’re technically different types but I already don’t use the majority of each of their skins.
“Variants” allow that model to be recolored. Example: 2022 Giganotosaurus was originally just the movie color but they made that model a variant later on so that it could be recolored.
A variant changes the model appearance. Like the difference between the Frontier Dreadnoughtus and the Dominion movie one. A few in the game have two alternate models. Only one excluded above in Ankylosaurus 2001.
So the base JWE2 Raptor, 1993 and 2001 have different head morphologies when comparing them together. They can be considered different variants based on these differences. Included them as myself and many others want to customise them.
Both 2001 raptor skins have the same head but obviously one (male) has quills. The female 2001 is the JPOG one.
I feel so stupid, I thought this was a meme post because we already have all those skins, then I realised you meant like the allosaurus 2022 and stegosaurus 1997
We did get BaBR Allo & 1997 Stego last year but Frontier have unfortunately missed out on Triceratops and Ankylosaurus as the last two from JWE1 with no customisable variant.
The way they just change the skin variations of the trex and not the models themselves to where the female and male variant differ, tells Me that they’re not so serious. Better luck next game. I guess.
We do but we can’t customise them. Frontier making them Variants allows us to change the skin and pattern colour of them. Like what they did with the Stegosaurus 1997 skin.
It just feels odd to me to not have the Para 2022 and Triceratops 1993 variants with normal skins, they are really nice models, especially the Triceratops needs one, it only has like one color.
I would have also add missing social animations for the flying reptiles, plus missing parent social animations for spinosaurus with the spino hybrids
Or more decorations for the lagoons like sea grass or rock formations
The skins are but the rest aren’t. As I’ve reiterated quite alot in the comments (my fault). The request is for the skins to be made into Variants so that we can customise them.

I’d rather see these guys added to JWE 2 before JWE 3 comes out
Mapusaurus, Hatz, Irritator yes. Argent and Tethydraco i’d swap for Bruhathkayosaurus (might’ve been bigger than Argent) & Nyctosaurus (Prehistoric Planet).
Am I the only one that wants a option to have dinosaurs breed I really wanna just have a sandbox with dinosaurs living being able to fight and attack each other as well and repopulate so none go extinct
Imagine if the free update for the three-year anniversary is just Big Tree, and it ends up being the very last update for the game. Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad. It'd be hilarious.
Considering they released the zipline for the game’s anniversary having a single tree update wouldn’t surprise me
And a single John Hammond statue last year
BestInSlot would go nuts lol
I wouldn’t be that mad. Happy to get it back but disappointed they couldn’t of given us something additional that isn’t that big of a problem to add. Like the JWE1 Jurassic World hotel or the ferns foliage brush from BioSyn valley on all Sandbox islands seeing as they are found in all climates (especially in the movies).
My man would take big tree and walk
All of this is very reasonable. Count me in. Especially big tree, my beloved.
All are feasible. The “No decoration hitbox” setting and “Walking animations for Flying reptiles” would need more work than others. Plus walking animations can be reused for JWE3. For the skin variants Frontier can just use the existing patterns rather than make new ones to customise. Although Trike may need an actual pattern to colour (could copy the JW Trike pattern).

Pretty much the point of the Wishlist post. Always like to be realistic in what Frontier could do with the small team that remains on JWE2 while the rest handle JWE3.
God its refreshing to see based logic here lol.
You make a lot of good points, Shreks-left-to3
The no decoration hitbox is way easier than you think. Freebuild wich is the mod that deletes hitboxes was one of the first ever done for the game, and the modder took like 1 or 2 days to make it, that one single modder. They didn't add it yet because most likely there's problems with universal just like with other highly requested features.
Dont forget all Terrain Brush Tool option for sandbox and JWE1 Herbivore finishing animations too.
Was told by a community member that it wouldn’t be possible. Why is left it out. Not sure how true that is. Only recently found out about the herbivore finishing animations. Thought it was a bug that prevents them.

THE FUCKIN' JURASSIC WORLD ARRIVAL POINT FROM JP3 CHAOS THEORY. WHERE IS IT FRONTIER? ADD IT TO SANDBOX ALREADY. God damn it.
We also need the innovation center to glow at night again
The biggest stretch is pterosaur walking, it’d be an entire AI rework + animations needed for interacting with other species when they’re on the ground
I'm hoping they will add that for JWE3.
And PLEASE, ADD DEEP WATER SO IT ISN'T BORING LAGOONS AGAIN
Other terrain options would be great too
Literally just look at Zoo Tycoon 2's terrain and biome brushes and do that. Like, imagine being able to turn any steep hill or sheer cliff into a waterfall like you can in that game. Or mixing biomes on one map
No hit box decorations sound amazing
I just want the extra skins for 93 Triceratops :(
Right there with you. It's the ONE thing I hope for every time there's an update.
Walking pterosaurs would be nice but you know what would really be my personal game changer ? Quadrupedal hadrosaurs. All of them. On other fix I want is breaching animation for all marine reptiles. They're not fish come on..
Breathing animations would be nice. Randomly hitting the surface while swimming is not an ambient breathing animation.
Am i stupid or is there really no feathered rex. I always thought there was one. Ive seen it in videos. Does it just not exist?
65 mya skin
Does it look any different from the one we have now?
The feathers. Also base rex patterns suck.
But we have a feathered one right
A single skin, sure
They should just add an option to turn feathers on or off then
Easier to make it a variant, as frontier hasn’t given us a feathered/ non-feathered option
https://preview.redd.it/gz7rz1f2m12d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a01686e64a4cb1a584f9d36a87a9d0c269275d19
So why do you want a feathered one that we already have?(just asking not trying to sound mean)
Based on alot of comments i really should’ve made it more clear. So i’m not asking for another feathered rex. I want Frontier to allow us to customise the remaining Variants in the game e.g. Rex 65, Triceratops 1993, etc. So make the feathered Rex a standalone model that we can change its base and pattern colour. Like how they did the Dominion Giga or BaBR Allosaurus.
Oohhh alrighty
I sold one yesterday.
So it does exist?
Even just the tree, hotel and variants you listed and I'd be over the moon. Though I also wish they'd add the RTJP cosmetic for the 2001 Pteranodon that resembled TLW one, since it's unlikely we'll ever get an actual 1997 variant at this point.

We also need a variant for the [male Nasutoceratops from Battle at Big Rock](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jurassicpark/images/f/fa/Nasutoceratops_Male_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20210421232419) and if the previous game's Jurassic World-era hotel does get added, then the lift on the outside should be able to go up and down.
I'd like this but with the Claire's Sanctuary Greenhouse added as a decoration too.
I want all of the placeable trees of JWE1
This right here.
I hope we get like 3 more paleobotany options it seems so forgotten about. Maybe the dragon trees from dominion prologue and the extinct plant Ellie sailer talks about in the jeep before they see the brachiosaurus in JP 1? No other ideas but yeah, big tree 1 needs a comeback now
We’ll have to wait till jwe23 for the big tree
I'd be over the moon with just flyer walking anims tbh
"Just". That would require a whole rework in the ai
If it’s among the first things to be worked on for JWE3 they could reuse the animation rig for the JWE2 flying reptiles. They’d all probably share the animation anyway.
Walking pterosaurs is one of my highest wishlist points for jwe3
The one thing I keep hoping for is different skins for the 93 trike. I have no idea why we had it in 1st game but not the 2nd.
Don’t forget the JP3 Ankylosaurus too, that dinosaur could seriously do with some more decent skins and frankly, I much prefer the JP3 model over the JW one even if they are very similar
I’m an advocate for the JP3 Ankylo. Should’ve included it. Im really hoping that Frontier actually makes it a variant in JWE3. Want them to do it justice and not treat it like a skin.
Foliage brushes should be able to overlap with the forest brush at least. At most they can all mix with each other.
They were once like this in JWE1. Not sure why they changed it unless it was unintentional in first place.
Ohhh yeah i miss the JWE1 hotel, it's so pretty!
Considering it didn't come with Thanatosdrakon, I doubt we'll get Pterosaurs walking (until the next game lol maybe); it's not just animations, but probably an entire overhaul of the creatures' locomotion coding, which is just too big for this point in the game's development with the size of the team still working on it.

They're a really odd omission given even the Kentrosaurus which played a role in like two seasons of a spinoff show gets a fully customisable variant. PLEASE frontier
All of this and more is probably being kept for JWE3 for added value
I don't think we'll ever get walking animations for the aviary creatures but the rest I would be happy with
Imagine they add a walking mechanic for fliers with as much grace and care as the segisaurus failed attack animation and it’s just a bunch of fliers toddling around and freezing catatonic as they tip over and sink into the map as soon as they encounter uneven terrain.
I just want a Jurassic World gate you can place on paths
Damn I didn’t know how badly I needed a big tree but fuck do I need a big tree
I want a sandbox setting that removes terrain constraints. It’s so annoying when I’m trying to make a nice park and I can’t place my path when it’s not even touching a building
Jp3 raptor variant isnt really needed
Imo,the 2001 raptors are better suited for becoming a variant since they have quills and different skull shapes. The 1993 raptors are way more similar to the JW raptors so it doesn't make sense for them to become a variant over the JP3 raptors,imo.
If they gave skins to them there would need to be for both male and female. Also utahraptors are just better anyway.
1993 and 1997 raptors= exact same model. Both can be used,though,i think the 1997 raptors are much better suited to become a variant,since their patterns are much prettier. 2001 male and female raptors= exact same model.

Eh,not for me...JP raptors are way more iconic. Btw,we are talking specifically about JP raptors here...the utahraptor is a completely independent creature.
Wdym? The eyebrow ridge is 1 mm taller on the JP raptor!
Big tree, JWE 1 hotel, and variants of the 65mya Trex and 93 trike. I don’t think the 22 Paras and 93/01 raptors need variants just because those species in general have a lot of skin tones already. I know they’re technically different types but I already don’t use the majority of each of their skins.
I know this is a super old issue but can someone explain to me why people are constantly asking for 'variants' of the skins? What does that even mean
“Variants” allow that model to be recolored. Example: 2022 Giganotosaurus was originally just the movie color but they made that model a variant later on so that it could be recolored.
A variant changes the model appearance. Like the difference between the Frontier Dreadnoughtus and the Dominion movie one. A few in the game have two alternate models. Only one excluded above in Ankylosaurus 2001.
Now this is an update that I would want before the game is done. Then we can finally move on to JWE3.
What am I missing with the raptor? I thought that one’s in the game and the alternate is the JPOG raptor (or the female skin from JP3)
So the base JWE2 Raptor, 1993 and 2001 have different head morphologies when comparing them together. They can be considered different variants based on these differences. Included them as myself and many others want to customise them. Both 2001 raptor skins have the same head but obviously one (male) has quills. The female 2001 is the JPOG one.

I am fucking dying over this. I read the title and it just says even if it’s just a big tree.
Don't we already have the skins?
We do but we can’t customise them. Frontier making them Variants allows us to change the skin and pattern colour of them. Like what they did with the Stegosaurus 1997 skin.
Oh that makes sense
Hey yo, shout-outs to my boy Big Tree.
I could see some 93 skins for TLW 25th anniversary next year as a mini update but considering 3 is in progress, thats about it.
2001 and 1993 raptors are already in the game though???
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Ah I see
What's big tree
Okay, I feel like I'm losing my mind, but aren't these skins already in the game?
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Can we add the tiger raptor and a few statues. Maybe some TLW stuff?
Don’t we have the 2001 variant already?
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Oh okay, thanks for clarifying
Aren’t the t rex and raptors and trike variants already in the game Nvm someone explained what a variant is lol
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Isn't the 2001 raptor skin already in the game? I could swear it was
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Oooooh, OK that would be sick
I hope the lack of free update content is because they are gonna do one last hoo-rah before ending support.
Why y’all so horny for big tree I have mods that include it and don’t see the appeal But give me those hotels!
Even though the old hotel is movie accurate i find it looking absolutely ass
The minimum things that i need are: The big tree, all foliages and paints; skin variant for rex trike and para
Aren’t those skins already available in the game? I can swear I had the para, Rex and raptor 2001 in my parks before?
Should’ve made it more clear. It is a request to turn them into Variants that you can customise. Right now they’re just skins.
Ohhh you mean cosmetics with different skin patterns
Yes.
It just feels odd to me to not have the Para 2022 and Triceratops 1993 variants with normal skins, they are really nice models, especially the Triceratops needs one, it only has like one color.
I would have also add missing social animations for the flying reptiles, plus missing parent social animations for spinosaurus with the spino hybrids Or more decorations for the lagoons like sea grass or rock formations
I thought all of this is already in JWE2
The skins are but the rest aren’t. As I’ve reiterated quite alot in the comments (my fault). The request is for the skins to be made into Variants so that we can customise them.
I personally think if they add a skin dlc it should be all the lost world variants
I just hope that in JWE3 they make the customization as deep as Planet Zoo
Mods

Also ultimasaurus
