Move Baby Animals Without Them Growing Up

Transporting Young Creatures

Baby animals grow into adults over time, but this mod preserves their age during transport.

Steps:

1. Find a baby animal (foal, calf, lamb, etc.)

2. Approach with an empty hand

3. Interact to pick up the baby

4. Carry it to your destination

5. Place it down in the new location

6. The baby will retain its age and continue growing naturally from that point

Why This Matters

You can now separate babies from adults without worrying about them maturing mid-journey. This is useful for:

  • Moving breeding pairs to a farm while keeping babies separate
  • Transporting young animals to a safe enclosure
  • Organizing your animals by age without time pressure

The mod keeps track of the creature's life stage, so a baby placed down will still be a baby and will grow at the normal rate in your new location.
