FS25 Realistic Livestock RM V1.1.4

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
– Genetics display in animal names with configurable detail level (average score or full trait breakdown)
– 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
– Move tab for transferring animals between husbandries
– Daily summary mode for message log
– In-game help pages
– Highland cattle bull support
– Animal pack system: third-party mods can add new breeds or adjust animal balance

Hof Bergmann 1.4 support and bug fixes:

– Fixed horse riding and equipment on Hof Bergmann v1.4: saddles, carriages, and tools from the Horse Addon Pack now attach correctly

Thank you for sharing detailed information about the Realistic Livestock RM V1.1.4 mod for FS25. It's great to see the comprehensive features and improvements made in this version. Here are some thoughts on the updates and features mentioned:

1. Individual Animal Tracking: Tracking animals separately with unique identities, genetics, health status, and production output adds a new level of realism to the farming experience.

2. Genetics System: The genetics system with heritable traits affecting production output adds depth to breeding and selecting animals for desired traits.

3. Breeding and Reproduction: The inclusion of pregnancy mechanics and genetic inheritance enhances the realism of animal breeding in the game.

4. Disease Simulation: The simulation of diseases spreading, requiring treatment, and building immunity adds a challenge to livestock management.

5. Weight System: Tying the weight system to genetics and feeding adds another layer of realism in managing livestock health and productivity.

6. Animal Monitoring: The ability to track individual animals over time allows players to monitor the progress and health of each animal.

7. Insemination System: The AI insemination system with semen dewars provides a realistic way to manage breeding in the game.

8. Map and Pack Support: Compatibility with maps like Hof Bergmann and the ability for third-party mods to add new breeds or adjust animal balance expands the gameplay options.

Overall, the updates and fixes in V1.1.4.0, especially the support for Hof Bergmann 1.4 and bug fixes related to horse breeds, equipment, and production issues, contribute to a more immersive farming experience for players using the Realistic Livestock mod in FS25.
