FS25 Realistic Livestock RM V1.0.1

Replaces FS25’s simple animal clusters with individually tracked animals – each with unique genetics, breeding, diseases, and production traits. A maintained version of Arrow-kb’s Realistic Livestock mod.
Every animal is tracked separately with its own identity, genetic makeup, health status, and production output. Genetics are inherited through breeding, diseases can spread and require treatment, and production is driven by each animal’s individual traits.
This is a maintained version of the original Realistic Livestock mod by Arrow-kb, who has discontinued development. The goal is to keep the mod working, fix bugs, and make improvements where needed.
Features
– Individual animal tracking with unique identity
– Genetics system with heritable traits that affect production output
– Breeding and reproduction with pregnancy mechanics and genetic inheritance
– AI insemination system with semen dewars
– Disease simulation with infection, treatment, and immunity
– Animal monitoring to track individual animals over time
– Weight system tied to genetics and feeding
– Animal marking and castration
– Daily summary mode for message log
– In-game help pages
– Highland cattle bull support
– Map support: Hof Bergmann (ducks, geese, cats, rabbits)
– Simple support for butchers using Extended Production Point (EPP) mod
– Multiplayer support
Notes
– Based on Arrow-kb’s Realistic Livestock mod (v1.2.0.5), released under GPL-3 license
– Savegame data from Arrow-kb’s original version is automatically migrated on first load
– Font Library mod is no longer required
– Incompatible with FS25_EnhancedLivestock, FS25_MoreVisualAnimals, and FS25_EnhancedAnimalSystem
Limitations
– Multiplayer: Dewars (AI semen canisters) cannot be physically picked up by clients. Works in singleplayer.
Installation
Place FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.zip in your mods folder.
Migrating from Arrow-kb’s version: Remove FS25_RealisticLivestock.zip and FS25_FontLibrary.zip. Back up your savegame first, then load it – data migrates automatically.

Thank you for sharing the detailed information about the Realistic Livestock RM V1.0.1 mod for FS25. This mod seems to enhance the livestock management aspect in the game with a more realistic approach. It's impressive how each animal is individually tracked with unique genetics, breeding mechanics, diseases, and production traits.

The addition of features like genetics system affecting production output, breeding and reproduction mechanics, AI insemination, disease simulation, animal monitoring, weight system tied to genetics and feeding, and daily summary mode adds depth to the gameplay.

It's great to see that this version of the mod is a continuation of Arrow-kb's work and aims to improve and maintain the original mod. The inclusion of support for Hof Bergmann map, exotic animals, and basic support for butchers using Extended Production Point (EPP) mod expands the compatibility and gameplay possibilities.

The detailed installation instructions and notes on migrating from Arrow-kb's version show care for the users and their save data. It's also good to know about the limitations in multiplayer regarding Dewars (AI semen canisters) and the compatibility status with other mods.

Overall, this mod seems like a significant enhancement to the livestock management aspect of FS25, offering a more detailed and immersive experience for players. The continuous updates and bug fixes demonstrate the commitment to improving the mod and providing an enriching gameplay experience.
