Oops! No Ovaries - Geld / Spay Female Creatures - Efficient Compatible

Description
WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?
Gives GELDABLE tag to female creatures. Only affects animals that already have geldable males in vanilla. Uses simple methods to maximize compatibility and reduces the need for future updates.

WHY DID I MAKE THIS MOD?
Because controlling animal populations in your fort when you can only neuter males is a gigantic pain in the ass and usually forces methods that are time consuming and kind of suck for a number of reasons, and can easily go awry. This makes it far easier to have your animals all running about and contributing to your fortress, while keeping their numbers in check.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
I have tested this mod extensively, and everything seems to be running smoothly. Surprisingly the game easily copes with female creatures getting geldable bits and seems to understand how to handle that, despite this not being attempted before to my knowledge.

The only issue so far is that the Dwarf Therapist tool can't mark female creatures for gelding, but if I can get enough feedback that this is useful for people, I will find a way to reach out to the dudes who make it and see if they can modify things to fix that somehow.

LOAD ORDER:
This mod uses [SELECT] to add the tweaks to the creatures, and as such should not cause any crashes or bugs no matter the load order, but in case you have another mod that uses the CUT/REPLACE method of editing creatures, load this mod as close to the bottom of the list to make sure it's changes do not get overwritten. This mod will not overwrite or disable the changes of any other mods.

WANT TO LEARN HOW ITS MADE?
If you are interested in modding Dwarf Fortress, I have put together a guide to show efficient methods of making various tweaks to the game's creatures, that aren't well documented elsewhere.

I just wanted to let you know the name of this mod is amazing.

Random update, found some evidence that suggests someone else tried this before, as a small bit of info confirming this works was added to the DF Wiki page on Gelding earlier this year (Jan 2024) so I just wanted to mention that since I was originally unaware of anyone trying this before and couldn't find any similar mods on the workshop.

Just want to leave an update, I am as sure as I can be from my own tests, that there are no side effects or bugs. World gen happens fine, Animals keep breeding as normal, Gelded animals stop breeding, etc. I am now several decades through in a few different worlds having gone through the motions and set up various test scenarios.
