This mod is based on the FS25 Realistic Livestock mod by Arrow-kb, who has decided to cease all his mods.
Features
– Male Animals
– Transform your breeding program with the addition of male animals:
– Higher market value compared to females
– Essential for reproduction – realistic breeding requirements
– Uses vanilla models (no custom 3D models required)
Visual Animals
– Enhanced animal visualization system:
– Increased capacity from 25 (vanilla) up to 200 visual animals per husbandry
– Adjustable limit via in-game slider for performance optimization
Individual Animals
– Every animal is truly unique with comprehensive individual tracking:
– 100% individual animals – archaic cluster system completely removed
– Unique identifiers based on the UK’s cattle identification system
– Birthday and country of origin for each animal
– Customizable names for your livestock
– Physical identification tags:
– Ear tags on left and right ears displaying country, farm ID, animal ID, name, and birthday
– Partial identifier marking on hindquarters
– Nose rings on supported animals
Enhanced Pregnancy System
– Realistic and dynamic reproduction mechanics:
– Species-specific litter sizes (e.g., cows can have 0-3 calves)
– Conception at impregnation – offspring created when mother is impregnated, not at birth
– Pregnancy tracking – view expected offspring count and due dates
– Individual gestation periods – reproduction duration varies by animal, not by species
Genetics System
– Deep genetic simulation affecting every aspect of animal performance:
Five genetic traits:
– Health – resistance to disease and injury
– Fertility – reproduction success rates
– Metabolism – food consumption and weight regulation
– Productivity – milk, wool, and egg production
– Meat Quality – value at slaughter
– Inheritance mechanics – offspring inherit traits from parents
– Economic impact – genetics directly affect sale value and profitability
Weight System
– Dynamic weight management with real consequences:
– Individual weight tracking for every animal
– Daily weight fluctuations based on food and water consumption
– Ideal weight targets influenced by metabolism genetics
– Health consequences – unhealthy weight affects health and can lead to death
– Vulnerable young animals – juveniles especially susceptible to weight-related health issues
– Sale value impact – weight directly affects market price
Enhanced UI
– Comprehensive information at your fingertips:
– Family tree viewer – track lineage and breeding lines
– Detailed animal screens – extensive stats and information
– Enhanced info boxes – quick access to vital animal data
– Clean, intuitive interface design
Enhanced Production
– Realistic production cycles based on biological factors:
Cow milk production:
– Only produce milk when lactating
– Yield rises and falls based on lactation curve
– Production tied to pregnancy cycle
Sheep wool production:
– Seasonal wool growth
– Only produce wool during warm months
– Production affected by genetics and health
Death and Aging
– Natural lifecycle with meaningful consequences:
– No age limits – animals can live beyond 5 years
– Species-specific lifespans – each animal type has realistic expected lifespan
– Progressive mortality – increasing death chance with age, but can live past expectancy
Multiple death causes:
– Old age
– Poor health
– Random accidents
– Pregnancy complications
Enhanced Animal Dealer
– Completely reimagined purchasing experience:
– Global farm network – hundreds of unique farms across supported countries
– Farm specialization – each farm produces up to 3 animal types
– Daily deliveries – farms send animals to dealer each day
– Time-limited availability – animals eventually disappear if not purchased
– Dynamic inventory – continuous rotation with new animals
– Local and imported stock – mostly local animals with occasional imports
– Unique genetics – every animal has individual traits affecting price
– Pregnant animals available – chance to purchase pregnant stock
– Quality-based pricing – farm quality affects animal traits and cost
In Development
– The following features are currently being developed:
– Disease System – Animal health conditions and treatments
– Message Log – Event tracking and history for husbandries
