FS25 Realistic Livestock RM v1.0
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

– Animal monitoring to track individual animals over time

– Daily summary mode for message log
– In-game help pages
