Real Country Life (RCL) V1.0.0.6 fs25-mods

Description:

What this mod does: Real Country Life or RCL aims to introduce realistic game mechanics without losing the fun aspect. Why I created the mod: The base game needs a mod that enhances realism by adding simple mechanics that are currently missing. Who it is for: RCL is perfect for players seeking greater realism in a game that has "simulator" in its name. The mod adds gameplay elements that boost immersion in the farmer's role by introducing a character who comments on various vanilla game systems, helping players understand real country life with humor and lightness. What novelties the mod introduces: Wild Boars and Mice The base game allows land cultivation and farm product accumulation but doesn’t account for animals that can affect crop yields or require proper storage maintenance. Wild boars and mice must be kept in check. Wild boars are controlled by fencing fields (activated with a dedicated key in the RCL menu), while mice are fought with two cats, Tom and Sylvester, who can tire out. When that happens, the only solution is to call an exterminator. [Disclaimer: Wild boars and mice are only simulated and are not in 3D!] Grandpa: Your farm belongs to your family, and you’re here to help, but you’re not alone: Grandpa’s wisdom provides tips throughout the day. He offers hints for problems you encounter and suggestions on actions to take; he comments on nearly everything, even giving grades and a final verdict at year’s end. Your farm has value! Every part of your farm, from the smallest screw in your tractor, house, or barn, is valuable and must be maintained to perform well. RCL introduces building management. For the first time, you’ll need to manage not only animals and land but also your buildings. A dilapidated barn lowers Grandpa’s opinion of your care; neglecting production will halt operations. Maintenance costs money, and you can choose when to repair—timing is key. Using the Precision Farming mod by Giants Software is optional; however, the mod detects its presence and adjusts accordingly. This mod is designed for single-player use and has not been tested in multiplayer. Updates will be posted here if there are any changes. It’s recommended to start a new game when using this mod. I won’t reveal more details. Note: This is my very first mod. The idea was conceived in September, and by December, I developed the initial game systems. In January, lacking programming skills, I used Microsoft’s CoPilot with limited success. In February, I switched to Claude, which significantly improved quality. With better models, the idea took shape. I respect professional programmers who code by hand, even today in the age of AI. I had this idea and used available tools to bring it to life. Thank you if you’ve read this far, and thank you in advance if you download the mod—I hope you enjoy it. Alberto from Italy V1.0.0.6 Field diary list extended: now 10 fields visible (was 3).
