FS25 Realistic Livestock RM V1.1

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

This is a detailed description of the features, installation instructions, limitations, and updates for the Realistic Livestock RM V1.1 mod in FS25. It seems to be a comprehensive overhaul of the livestock system in FS25, providing players with a more detailed and realistic experience when dealing with animals on their farm.

The mod allows for individual animal tracking with unique identities, genetics, breeding mechanics, diseases, and production traits. Animals have their own genetic makeup that affects their production output and can be inherited through breeding. Diseases can spread among the animals, requiring treatment, and they can also develop immunity. Animal monitoring allows you to keep track of each animal over time.

The addition of features such as an AI insemination system, disease simulation, weight system tied to genetics, and daily summary mode enhances the realism of livestock management in the game. The mod also includes support for multiplayer, but with limitations on the physical interaction with dewars (AI semen canisters) for clients in multiplayer mode.

The installation process is straightforward, requiring the placement of the mod file in the mods folder. Players migrating from the original version by Arrow-kb need to remove specific files and back up their savegames before loading to ensure data migration.

The updates in version 1.1.0.0 and 1.0.2.0 bring improvements such as a move tab for transferring animals between husbandries, custom icons for Animal Screen tabs, genetics display in animal names, sort by genetics option, and various bug fixes and enhancements for better gameplay experience.

Overall, the Realistic Livestock RM V1.1 mod aims to provide a more immersive and detailed livestock management experience in FS25, offering players a deeper level of interaction with their animals through individual tracking, genetics, breeding, diseases, and production traits.
