Enhanced Livestock

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
