FS25 Realistic Livestock RM V1.2.5

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.

Thank you for sharing the detailed information about the Realistic Livestock RM V1.2.5 mod for FS25. This mod sounds incredibly immersive with its individually tracked animals, unique genetics, breeding mechanics, disease simulation, and production traits for each animal. It's impressive to see the effort put into maintaining and improving upon Arrow-kb's original Realistic Livestock mod.

The feature list is extensive, covering everything from individual animal tracking to genetic inheritance, disease management, and even a weight system tied to genetics and feeding. The addition of the AI insemination system and the ability to monitor individual animals over time adds a layer of realism and depth to livestock management in FS25.

It's great to see support for different maps like Hof Bergmann, Witcombe, and Le Mechet, each offering unique breeds and full breeding support. The compatibility with the Cow Breeds Pack for additional cattle breeds expands the variety of animals players can manage in the game.

The new features and improvements introduced in V1.2.5.0, such as the in-game saveable filter editor, feed runway estimate, and fixes for multiplayer issues, enhance the gameplay experience and make managing livestock even more engaging. The attention to detail in addressing issues like error spam during animal transactions and ensuring proper synchronization in multiplayer further enhances the mod's stability.

Overall, the Realistic Livestock RM V1.2.5 mod seems like a comprehensive and immersive addition to FS25, offering players a more realistic and engaging livestock management experience. It's impressive to see the dedication to maintaining and improving upon the original mod, providing players with a high-quality and feature-rich livestock management system.
