Animals Everywhere: A Hunter's Dream
Let’s be real for a second. You survive the apocalypse, deal with zombies every day, go out hunting… and find what? A couple cows, maybe a few sheep, and if you’re lucky, a deer or two. That’s it.
Yeah… not anymore.
This mod flips that completely. Humanity’s gone, and nature kind of just took over. Animals aren’t rare anymore — they’re everywhere. Deer aren’t hiding, cows are moving in groups, pigs and sheep are thriving, and chickens are just doing whatever they want.
Instead of being locked to a few boring zones, animals now spawn across a much wider range of areas. The world actually feels alive again. Hunting isn’t something you do once in a while — it’s constant, a little chaotic, and honestly just more fun.
Grab your rifle, take a walk, and enjoy it.

[b]Recommended Mods / Setup Info[/b]
These are [b]NOT required[/b], but highly recommended for a smoother and more enjoyable experience:
[list]
[*] [b]Animals Do Not Attack Buildings[/b]
Helps prevent animals from damaging structures or turning into constant threats. With large herds, animals can sometimes attack each other or the player, and even wipe themselves out over time. This mod keeps things stable so you can actually enjoy the increased animal population.
[*] Includes optional add-ons:
[list]
[*] Animals Do Not Attack Other Males
[*] Animals Do Not Attack Players
[/list]
[*] [b]Backpack Bionyard[/b] (my mod)
Lets you place animals directly into your inventory or backpack. It doesn’t change spawning, just makes handling animals way more convenient.
[/list]
More details, links, and setup info are available in the [b]Discussions[/b] tab.

[b]Final Note[/b]
This mod is for people who want a world that actually feels alive. More animals, more movement, more things happening around you.
It’s not meant to be perfectly balanced or ultra realistic. It’s just meant to be fun.
[list]
[*] Best used on a new save for full effect
[*] Works on existing saves, but changes won’t show instantly
[*] Give it about 4–7 in-game days for spawns to fully adjust
[/list]
[i]That delay is normal — the game needs time to update spawn behavior.[/i]
Also, quick heads up — I’ve got a full-time job and a 1-year-old, so updates might not always be immediate. I’ll still do my best to keep things working and improve it over time.
Thanks for checking it out.
