About this mod

Adds a random minor chance of finding Cattle (Bulls, Cows, Oxen, and for simplicity sake including Goats) in several location in the wilderness. The Player may encounter Cattle performing different scenarios (mostly grazing but some will be resting/sleeping).

Created this mod for personal usage as mainly I wanted to utilize the Rustling Mod without stealing from farms/ranches. Would imagine during the time there are Ranchers who lost their Cattle/Goats due to several reasons such as Banditry, Predator attacks or simply the animals just escaped from their pens. And if you are using it with the Rustling Mod, just think of it as retrieving their lost animals and the Ranchers pay you for the efforts. They are domesticated by default so won't be difficult to catch individually but may be harder to capture all if in a group. If you don't use the Rustling mod and just wanted to see or hunt Cattle in the wild, you can still install this mod as it is independent and only requires LML.


Requirements:

Installation:
  • Download and Extract the zip file to your RDR2 root Directory (.../Red Dead Redemption 2)

Compatibility:

Ambient Cattle Locations:
  • Great Plains (outskirt of Beecher's Hope and Coastal area) - small random chance of spawning Cows or Oxen or Bulls or Goats
  • The Heartlands (Central and Coastal area) - small random chance of spawning Cows or Oxen or Bulls or Goats
  • Hennigan's Stead (Central area)- small random chance of spawning Cows or Oxen or Bulls or Goats
  • Gaptooth Ridge (Northern area) - small random chance of spawning Goats

The Cattle (player can encounter a single head or n number of heads) replaces some of the Pronghorn Spawn Points in the Locations mentioned above (no Pronghorns harmed) but not to the point that they are abundant in the wilderness. Utilizes the games native ped and wildlife spawn system hence the chances of finding the animals are at random and at the hands of the engine, no additional spawns and spawn points added in the locations (if you are already experiencing the dreaded Spawn issues due to obsolete mods and unoptimized texture streaming mods etc.. then high probability that you won't see the ambient cattle too since they're not High Priority spawns).


Plans
:

  • Add couple of Cattle Spawns at Scarlett Meadows
  • Add several Goat Spawns in Big Valley and over the Mountainous and Cold Regions
