FS25 Animals: Trailer Only V1.0

Forces realistic animal transport. No more direct dealer-to-barn buying — animals only travel by livestock trailer.
How it works:
– Without a trailer: the buy UI is hidden at the dealer and at your own barn. Viewing and selling still work.
– With a trailer: vanilla behaviour. Animals go into the trailer and you drive them home yourself.
Multiplayer-safe: the server enforces the rule via AnimalBuyEvent, so a modified client cannot bypass the hidden UI.
Whitelist: chickens (and rabbits) are exempt by default, since the base game has no transport trailer for them. Editable in scripts/animalsTrailerOnly.lua.

This mod sounds like a great addition to the game for players who enjoy a more realistic approach to animal transport in Farming Simulator 25. By requiring players to use a livestock trailer to transport animals, it adds an extra layer of immersion and challenges them to plan and organize their animal purchases accordingly.

The implementation of hiding the buy UI at the dealer and barn when no trailer is attached is a clever way to enforce the rule and encourage players to invest in a trailer for livestock transport. Allowing viewing and selling to still work without a trailer maintains the functionality of managing animals in the game.

The multiplayer safety measure through the AnimalBuyEvent ensures that the rule is enforced, even in multiplayer sessions, preventing any potential cheating by modified clients. This is crucial for maintaining a fair and realistic gameplay experience for all players involved.

The whitelist feature for exempting chickens and rabbits by default is a thoughtful inclusion, recognizing that the base game lacks transport trailers for these animals. Allowing players to edit the whitelist in the script file provides flexibility for customization based on individual preferences.

Overall, this mod promotes a more immersive and realistic gameplay experience for players who enjoy the challenge of realistic animal transport in Farming Simulator 25. It adds depth and authenticity to the management of livestock in the game, making the process more engaging and rewarding for players.
