Realistic Livestock RM V1.3.2.1 fs25-mods

Description:

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. Everything is managed from the RL Menu — a dedicated tabbed interface for browsing, trading, moving, filtering, and automating your herds. 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 affecting production - Genetics display in animal names with configurable detail (average or full traits) - Breeding and reproduction with pregnancy mechanics and genetic inheritance - AI insemination system with semen dewars - Disease simulation with infection, treatment, and immunity - Animal monitoring over time - Weight system tied to genetics and feeding - Animal marking and castration - RL Menu: a standalone tabbed interface for all animal management — browsing, moving, selling, buying, AI straw purchases, messages, and trailer loading - Saveable animal filters, cycled with F across menu tabs - Herdsman automation: daily tasks like sell, buy, castrate, name, AI, move, and horse care driven by saved filters - Animal Country of Origin setting for new animals - Dealer controls: select which animals and age groups are offered, and stock quality (Budget, Standard, Premium) - Daily summary mode for message logs - In-game help pages - Highland cattle bull support - Animal pack system: third-party mods can add new breeds or adjust animal balance - Map support: Hof Bergmann (ducks, geese, cats, rabbits, alpacas, quail) with automatic version-aware compatibility - Map support: Witcombe (UK breeds — Jersey, Gloucestershire Old Spot, Texel, Suffolk, Blue Faced Leicester, plus Hereford heritage) with automatic compatibility - Map support: Le Mechet (French breeds — Charolaise, Montbeliarde, Simmental, Vosgienne) with automatic support - Support for butchers using Extended Production Point (EPP) mod - Mod compatibility checks at startup: blocking incompatible mods and warning for known issues - Compatibility bridges: coexistence with Seasonal Wool Production (Argsy Gaming) without double wool output - Multiplayer support **Supported Maps & Packs** RLRM works on almost any map out of the box. It doesn’t require a specific list. The listed maps add custom animal types or breeds, which need built-in support for full features like genetics, breeding, and reproduction. On other maps, standard animals work normally. **Maps:** - Hof Bergmann — ducks, geese, cats, rabbits, alpacas, quail with full breeding support - Witcombe — UK breeds (Jersey, Gloucestershire Old Spot, Texel, Suffolk, Blue Faced Leicester) with full breeding support; Hereford heritage profile - Le Mechet — French breeds (Charolaise, Montbeliarde, Simmental, Vosgienne) with full breeding support (not compatible with Cow Breeds Pack unless using the latest dev version) **Animal Packs:** - Cow Breeds Pack for RLRM by ConGan98 — additional cattle breeds - Sheep Breeds Pack for RLRM by ConGan98 — additional sheep breeds **Notes** - Based on Arrow-kb’s Realistic Livestock mod (v1.2.0.5), licensed under GPL-3 - Savegame data from the original version is automatically migrated on first load - Font Library mod is no longer needed - Not compatible with FS25_EnhancedLivestock, FS25_MoreVisualAnimals, or FS25_EnhancedAnimalSystem **Installation** Place FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.zip in your mods folder. To migrate from Arrow-kb’s version: remove FS25_RealisticLivestock.zip and FS25_FontLibrary.zip, back up your savegame, then load — data migrates automatically. **V1.3.2.1** - Fixed newborn rabbits on Witcombe map not gaining health, causing early deaths; now all ages eat and drink according to support settings. - Corrected disease spread ratings; Foot & Mouth can sustain an outbreak alone, while PED and avian flu outbreaks usually burn out. - Clarified in the pack-creation guide which curves accept decimal values — food, water, and straw do, others are whole numbers only. - Enabled animal packs to set decimal rates for food, water, and straw (e.g., 0.2), previously limited to whole numbers.
