FS25 Cow Breeds (RLRM) V1.0.1

With the help of Ritter in creating the base structure of the mod, we are able to introduce 12 new cow breeds to the FS25_RealisticLivestockRM mod. This is a companion mod to work with FS25_Realistic_livestock RM. This mod only adds new breeds with corresponding textures for each one. It does not replace the 3D models of the cows in the game. Therefore, the 3D assets may appear larger than the actual breed of cow. Single Textures for the moment.

That sounds like a great update to the FS25_RealisticLivestockRM mod! The addition of 12 new cow breeds with corresponding textures is sure to enhance the realism and variety of livestock in the game. It's wonderful to see the attention to detail in adjusting values to accurately represent each breed, such as Holstein for milk production and Charolais and Angus for beef production.

The inclusion of four new dairy breeds - Red Holstein, Ayrshire, Jersey, and Guernsey, as well as eight new beef breeds - Red Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Shorthorn, Irish Moiled, British Blue, Belted Galloway, and Simmental, offers players a wider range of options to choose from.

The installation instructions provided are clear and straightforward, making it easy for players to add the new breeds to their game. The bug fixes, documentation polish, translations, and save-game compatibility improvements in version 1.0.1.0 show a commitment to refining the mod and enhancing the overall user experience.

The attention to detail in separating animals in the pack from in-game and other maps that add extra breeds ensures that players can enjoy the visuals as intended, even when using multiple mods simultaneously. The addition of the Script/Migration.lua to migrate all breeds from existing saves to the new breed names is a thoughtful touch that simplifies the update process for players.

Overall, the comprehensive update and attention to detail in the FS25_CowBreedsRLRM mod are commendable, and it's clear that a lot of effort has gone into making it a high-quality and immersive addition to the game.
