Just a random DLC idea I had regarding the Fossil collection

I think it would be interesting if there was a DLC (probably an expansion pack similar to Dogs & Cats) where you could take certain fossils you dig up for collections and bring them to some sort of Mad scientist/paleontologist character or something and have them actually use the fossil to create a living dinosaur pet for your sim to keep - the dinos could be customizable and breed-able simplified into 2 distinct types: the meat eating therapods (with traits of raptors, t-rex, Spinosaurus etc.)  and the herbivorous quadrupeds (with traits of triceratops, stegosaurus, sauropods and ankylosaurs) the dog-sized therapods could not breed with the livestock-sized quadrupeds (being similar in size and modeling to a llama - for the longer-necked sauropods - or a cow - for the shorter-necked quadrupeds - both of which were from the expansion pack 'Cottage Living') but the theropods could be trained like a dog to follow commands (such as a 'Search for Shinies' command where the therapod goes off to search for collection items which they bring back to your sim) and could also be used to chase off burglars while the quadrupeds could be ridden by child sims. I think it would be cool and would give more options for the fossils in the game (obviously not all of the fossils would be able to be turned into dinosaur pets, only a few would have that option - others might not create anything or could create unexpected results) also the dinosaurs could be entirely made-up species based loosely on actual dinosaurs with silly names or names based on 'simlish' (like a sauropod called a Mahneckisosaurus - a pun on ' My Neck is So Sore' and '-Saurus' - or a therapod called a Sulsulraptor - based on the 'Simlish' word 'Sul Sul' seen within the Sims franchise  and '-raptor' from dino species like 'velociraptor') there might also be a career option for Paleontologist or Biologist (the biologist career could possibly have career paths for Zoologist or Botanist, depending on whether they choose to focus on animals or plants)

This was just a random thought that I wanted to share. since I like Biology and I like Dinosaurs.
