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
– 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
– Move tab for transferring animals between husbandries with bulk move support
– 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

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
