Download Realistic Livestock RM V1.3.2 FS25 Mod

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. Everything is managed from the RL Menu – a dedicated tabbed interface for browsing, trading, moving, filtering, and automating your herds.

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.

Supported Maps & Packs
RLRM works on virtually any map out of the box. It does not need to be on a list. The maps below are special only because they add their own custom animal types or breeds, which need built-in support for those extras to get the full RLRM treatment (genetics, breeding, reproduction). On any other map, the standard animals just work.

Maps:

• Hof Bergmann (https://www.lsfarming-mods.com/) – ducks, geese, cats, rabbits, alpacas, quail with full breeding support
• Witcombe (https://oxygendavid.itch.io/witcombe-park-farm) – UK breeds (Jersey, Gloucestershire Old Spot, Texel, Suffolk, Blue Faced Leicester) with full breeding support; Hereford heritage profile
• Le Mechet (https://farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=357964) – French breeds (Charolaise, Montbeliarde, Simmental, Vosgienne) with full breeding support (NOT compatible with Cow Breeds Pack unless you use the latest development version – both replace the cow husbandry config)

Animal Packs:

• Cow Breeds Pack for RLRM by ConGan98 (https://github.com/ConGan98/FS25_CowBreedsRLRM) – additional cattle breeds
• Sheep Breeds Pack for RLRM by ConGan98 (https://github.com/ConGan98/FS25_SheepBreedsRLRM) – additional sheep breeds

Installation
Place FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.zip in your mods folder.
Migrating from Arrow-kb’s version: Remove FS25_RealisticLivestock.zip and FS25_FontLibrary.zip. Back up your savegame first, then load it – data migrates automatically.

V1.3.2.0
What’s Changed:
This is mostly a disease-fixes release. Treating a disease now costs money and runs the full course the disease is meant to take, an animal you cured stops dying of the disease it beat, and diseases finally reach every player in multiplayer. Some bugs still remain, but this release is a big step forward for disease management. Work on the disease system continues.
It also finishes the teardown that started in v1.3.0.0: the old animal screen and the old per-pen herdsman are gone, and every route into animal management opens the RL Menu.

Updating An Existing Save?
Treating a disease starts charging your farm, and leftover per-pen herdsman settings are cleared the first time you save after updating.
