FS25 More Visual Animals Ritter version v1.0.1

This is a modified version of the FS25 More Visual Animals mod by Arrow-kb, originally a standalone module from RealisticLivestock. Arrow-kb has decided to stop all development of his mods.

See more of your animals! Increases the number of visible animals in husbandries beyond the game’s default limits, making your pens and pastures feel alive. The visual animal cap is raised to up to 200 per husbandry, and an in-game slider (Shift+T) lets you adjust the limit to match your system’s performance.

Singleplayer only. Does nothing if RealisticLivestock is active (that mod includes this functionality).

Main changes from the original mod:
Fixed compatibility with other mods that hook into vehicle enter logic (e.g. CabCinematic).

Features
Increased Visual Animals: Up to 200 visible animals per husbandry (game default is much lower)
In-Game Slider: Press Shift+T to open a dialog and adjust the visual animal limit
Recommended Button: Suggests a limit based on your PC’s performance profile
Persistent Settings: Your chosen limit is saved and restored across sessions
RealisticLivestock Safe: Automatically disables when RealisticLivestock is active

Usage
Install the mod and load your game
Press Shift+T to open the Visual Animals dialog
Use the slider to set your desired limit, or press Recommended for a performance-based suggestion
Press Apply to save your setting

Limitations
Singleplayer only
Higher limits may reduce FPS depending on your hardware
Only changes visual representation – does not increase actual animal capacity
Not needed if using RealisticLivestock (visual animals are included in that mod)

Thank you for sharing the details about the modified version of the FS25 More Visual Animals mod by Arrow-kb. It appears to be a useful addition for players looking to enhance the visual experience of their animal husbandries in the game.

Key Features:
1. Increased Visual Animals: Having up to 200 visible animals per husbandry significantly boosts the immersion and liveliness of the pens and pastures.
2. In-Game Slider: The ability to adjust the visual animal limit using Shift+T adds flexibility based on the player's system performance.
3. Recommended Button: Providing a suggested limit based on the PC's performance profile simplifies the setup process.
4. Persistent Settings: The chosen animal limit is saved and reloaded across gaming sessions for convenience.
5. RealisticLivestock Compatibility: This mod automatically deactivates when RealisticLivestock is active, ensuring smooth integration with other mods.

Usage Guide:
1. Install the mod and launch your game.
2. Press Shift+T to access the Visual Animals dialog.
3. Use the slider to select your desired limit or rely on the Recommended option for performance-oriented guidance.
4. Save your chosen setting by clicking Apply.

Limitations:
1. Singleplayer Only: The mod is designed for solo gameplay and does not support multiplayer.
2. FPS Impact: Higher visual animal limits may affect frame rates depending on the hardware capabilities.
3. Visual Representation Only: The mod enhances the visual aspect without altering the actual animal capacity in the game.
4. RealisticLivestock Interaction: When using RealisticLivestock, which includes visual animals, this mod becomes redundant.

Overall, this mod seems to offer a simple yet effective way to customize the visual animal capacity in FS25, providing players with greater control over their farming simulation experience.
