Realistic Animal Losses V1.1

More Realistic Animal Management – Finally Real Consequences for Neglect!

In the standard version of Farming Simulator 25, you hardly need to worry as an animal keeper – your animals simply continue living, no matter how well (or poorly) you take care of them. This mod changes that fundamentally!

From now on, your actions will have a direct impact on the well-being of your animals. If feed, water, or straw are missing – or if the feed isn’t effective enough – you risk losing animals. This makes animal management not only more realistic but also more challenging and exciting.

These factors can lead to a decline in your animal population:

Age:

Once animals reach a certain age, there is a 10% risk they won’t be in the barn the next evening.

Horses: from 60 months

Pigs: from 40 months

Cows & Buffalo: from 50 months

Sheep & Goats: from 30 months

Chickens & Roosters: from 30 months

(Note: These age thresholds are intentionally set somewhat unrealistically to make the mechanic noticeable.)

Care:

If the overall feed effectiveness is too low, or if water or straw are missing, the risk can increase to up to 100%.

You can adjust the threshold for feed effectiveness in the mod menu to control the risk. By default, it’s set to 90% – below that, the risk of animal loss increases.

Daily Check at 6 PM:

Every evening, an automatic check assesses the state of your animals. If problems are detected, you’ll receive a warning message – giving you one last chance to act before it’s too late.

Multiplayer Compatible:

Even if a player is absent in multiplayer mode, their barns will still be checked – animal welfare doesn’t take breaks!

V1.1.0.0

Settings are now stored in the savegame directory and the multiplayer usage has been corrected.

Warning messages about the age and supply of your animals have been adjusted.
