On animal husbandry, genitals and castration

[TrashMan]

You know that situation where you love your animals, but they breed like crazy?
Or that cool new creature you'd like to add, but it doesn't fit with the male/female split?

Well, the idea is simple - add genital as organs (penis and vagina as standard, modders could add others).

Also, currently only animals/creatures designated as male can breed with a creature designated as female - the game looks at that designation only. That's kinda restrictive. What if I want creatures that re-produce asexually (mitosis?) or are hermaphrodites?

First this enables you to prevent animals from breeding humanely, secondly it makes sense, because reproductive organs is just as much part of a body as eyes and fingers are.
Third it adds more options to modders for addition of more interesting creatures

I would not mind more fleshed out animal breeding for the base game at all!
could make some real nice modded animals I'd imagine :p

Anyhow! I just plopped in here to infoooorm you of this mod that you might be interested in (The birds and bees, allows you to neuter animals)

That is cool.
But my suggestion has a lot more utility - could be applied to Pawns (there is a Children and preganancy mod) and allows for more diverse/alien animals.

For example - re-creating Asari (who can mate with anyone), a race that has several sexes, etc...
