If not the trophy lodge how about a cabin that looks like we could be living in it? Maybe some smoke from the chimney and be able to go inside and sit down. It would complete a mountain man living in the mountains and hunting to survive.
I was once in Hemmeldal hanging out in the lodge and happened to look out the window to see some reindeer running past. I was then able to head outside and hunt those reindeer.

I was pretty impressed that we could do that.

Anything that makes it seem more real for us helps immersion.

That is pretty cool to know. Every time I look out the window at a lodge I always thought it was a generic background roughly resembling the map. Maybe I should have a closer look next time to see if it's actually the same terrain outside.

I bought a trophy lodge to simulate a cabin i'm living in. I'm not sure if i'll add any trophies?

I wish we could add some furniture. A bed and table and chair to eat. Maybe a real chair at the fireplace. (Rustic)

Being able to customize the plaques/platforms a bit would be great. I've got a few trophy mounts that I would love to display that use the large round platform, but with only 2 or 3 available in each lodge, I can't show them off. Buying a whole lodge just so I can show off two pheasants isn't really financially sound. :(

It is a serious deficit of medium platforms in the game.
I'd be happy to see a modification of any type of lodge that has nothing except medium platforms.

I still dream of the day we receive a Call of the Wild style trophy lodge. Or even just a lodge that offers enough stands to display one of each species in the game. More flexibility of existing mounts would be a nice solution (shoulder mounts of many of the species that currently don't offer them, the ability to put smaller species on larger plaques/platforms, bird plaques in the two lodge types that don't currently have them, or new poses that open the existing platforms to slightly larger species...)

There are so many ways the lodges we have could be expanded. It would be magical to see a trophy lodge redux update.

A second floor where we live and have the trophy's mostly on the first floor is my ideal lodge. Having just a trophy lodge in the middle of nowhere makes no sense to me if i'm not living it it.
