FS25 Realistic Animal Losses v1.0

More Realistic Animal Management – Finally Real Consequences for Neglect!

In the standard version of Farming Simulator 25, you hardly need to worry as an animal keeper – your animals simply continue living, no matter how well (or poorly) you take care of them. This mod changes that fundamentally!
From now on, your actions will have a direct impact on the well-being of your animals. If feed, water, or straw are missing – or if the feed isn’t effective enough – you risk losing animals. This makes animal management not only more realistic but also more challenging and exciting.

These factors can lead to a decline in your animal population:
Age:
Once animals reach a certain age, there is a 10% risk they won’t be in the barn the next evening.
Horses: from 60 months
Pigs: from 40 months
Cows & Buffalo: from 50 months
Sheep & Goats: from 30 months
Chickens & Roosters: from 30 months
(Note: These age thresholds are intentionally set somewhat unrealistically to make the mechanic noticeable.)

Care:
If the overall feed effectiveness is too low, or if water or straw are missing, the risk can increase to up to 100%.
You can adjust the threshold for feed effectiveness in the mod menu to control the risk. By default, it’s set to 90% – below that, the risk of animal loss increases.

Daily Check at 6 PM:
Every evening, an automatic check assesses the state of your animals. If problems are detected, you’ll receive a warning message – giving you one last chance to act before it’s too late.

Multiplayer Compatible:
Even if a player is absent in multiplayer mode, their barns will still be checked – animal welfare doesn’t take breaks!

This mod sounds like a game-changer for Farming Simulator 25 animal management! The addition of consequences for neglecting animals introduces a whole new level of realism and challenges for players. With aging animals and the risk of losing them, as well as the impact of care factors like feed effectiveness, water, and straw availability, players will need to be more attentive to their animal needs.

The daily automatic check at 6 PM adds a sense of urgency and responsibility, providing players with a last chance to rectify any issues before losing animals. The ability to customize the feed effectiveness threshold in the mod menu gives players some control over the risks they face.

Moreover, the multiplayer compatibility ensures that animal welfare is maintained even when a player is absent, adding a layer of continuity to the gameplay experience. Overall, this mod seems to create a more immersive, challenging, and engaging animal management system for Farming Simulator 25 players.
