📋 About This Mod
welcome to.....
Improved WildlifeThis mod will be majorly updated in the future, however the changes I have made so far are:
-
[]Increased spawn factor to all wildlife. (aquatic, flying and ground animals.)
[
]Range increased to which how far birds spawn. (this is to be tested more, but if you see any changes, let me know.)
- []Improved bait system. (increased attraction distance, length of effectivity and reduced delay of animals being dispatched).
-
[]Changes to wildlife spawns. (Better values than 0. 1).
[]Improved flock and herd system. (Increase amount of birds their are in a flock, increased spawns of flocks and herds. Their is a lot more I've tweaked, however these are the main edits).
[]Improved scavenger system. (Predator Animals (mostly scavenging birds) are more eager to feast on animal carcass's and more scavengers can be allowed to feast on a carcass at a the same time).
-
[]Even better scavengers. (Will come more often than before)
[]Distance to which different species of animals are close to each other is significantly lowered. (Enjoy an even more vast wilderness).
------------------------
-
[]Different types of animals are closer to each other than before! (I've worked closely with these values so should work way better than 0. 4).
[
]Animals get hungry quicker[]A few more tiny edits
-
[]Herd animals will wander a lot more rather than just be eating, drinking or just being idle without the players intrusion.
[]More animlals affected from being more hungry.
[]Non horse animals that follow npcs (pretty much just dogs) will stick more to them, so they dont wander off too much.
[]Birds are more likely to land and chill on the ground for a bit.
[]Flocks and herds will keep together longer until they stray away from each other.
[]Animals are spooked longer, making it a bit harder to hunt, but more realistic.
[]Animals will face the player longer before deciding that you are a threat.
[]Even more improved flock system for land animals (Bigger chance for flocks to occur depending on the certain actions they are making).
[]Improved Feeding system (animals search for further and longer for places to feed/drink).[/
Improved Wildlife ALPHA 0.7.1 is a gameplay mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 that overhauls wildlife behavior and spawns. It increases spawn rates for all animals, extends bird spawn range, improves bait effectiveness, enhances flock/herd sizes, and makes scavengers more active. The mod also reduces interspecies distance and makes animals hungrier, aiming for a more dynamic wilderness.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,047 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads, so it's proven.
- Makes the wilderness feel alive with more animals and realistic behavior.
- Active development with a promise of major updates, so it's likely to grow.
⚠️ Cons
- Alpha version means it's still in testing, so you might hit bugs or balance issues.
- Changes to spawns and behavior could conflict with other wildlife mods.
- Performance impact possible with increased animal counts, especially on lower-end systems.
For RDR2 players who want a more vibrant and dynamic wilderness, with more animals and realistic interactions. If you're a hunter or explorer who feels the world is too empty, this mod adds life. Skip if you prefer a more vanilla experience or have a weak PC that can't handle extra spawns.
