Realistic Livestock RM V1.1.4.0
Realistic Livestock RM V1.1.4.0
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.

V1.1.4.0
Hof Bergmann 1.4 support and bug fixes:
– Fixed horse breed visuals on Hof Bergmann: adult horses no longer display as foals, breed colors now match correctly, foal-to-adult model transition now works
– Fixed horse riding and equipment on Hof Bergmann v1.4: saddles, carriages, and tools from the Horse Addon Pack now attach correctly
– Disabled four horse breeds not natively supported by Hof Bergmann (Pinto, Chestnut, Bay, Dun) from the dealer – existing savegame horses of those breeds are unaffected
– Fixed dealer generating sale animals for breeds marked as not purchasable on the current map
– Fixed wool and chicken eggs not spawning on Hof Bergmann v1.4: bridge now remaps fillTypes to match HB’s husbandry buildings
– Fixed Hof Bergmann egg incubator failing to add hatched chicks to husbandry when RLRM is active
– Fixed crash when animal output curve returns nil, which could silently stop all production in a building
– Added diagnostic logging for fillType mismatches in pallet and milk output
