Preliminary information

Farming Simulator is a story management game series in which life on a farm is simulated. The player is in charge of raising cattle and managing crops, just like on a real ranch. If you are on this guide, however, I don’t think it is necessary to explain how to play!

At the time of writing this guide, the game has reached the 2020 chapter , available only on Nintendo Switch , Android devices and iPhone / iPad , and on which it is not possible to apply mods . Most of the mods are developed for the previous chapters of the saga, which are available on PC and home consoles: it is in fact on the latter that I will focus.

By the end of 2021, the release of Farming Simulator 2022 is also expected , which “returning” to home consoles and PCs will almost certainly have the usual treatment in terms of available mods. I will therefore be ready to update this tutorial as soon as there are more details about it. But now just chat and let’s see how to download the mods on the various versions of Farming Simulator.

As you will notice, I will only focus on official and easy-to-use content. There are also unofficial mods, but the latter, like all unofficial content, could present operating problems or even risks in terms of security for the PC on which you are going to install them, so I decided not to talk about it.

How to download Farming Simulator mod 2020

If you are wondering how to download mods for Farming Simulator 2020 , I have to give you bad news. In fact, that of 2020 was the first chapter of the series distributed exclusively for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and for Nintendo Switch . In this “special” chapter, the basis of the game always remains the same, albeit in a reduced version , given the absence of some important components of the game for PC and fixed consoles.

Furthermore, the closure of the Nintendo Switch system has made it impossible for users to develop mods for this version. To date, therefore, the only versions of Farming Simulator on which mods can be installed are those that I will deal with in the next lines.

How to download Farming Simulator mod 2019

Farming Simulator 2019 launched on November 19, 2018, making it the most successful chapter of the series. The mods for this title are truly endless and are updated daily on the game’s official website. You can download and apply them conveniently from the game’s internal menu , without having to download anything from external sites. To better understand how to proceed, continue reading: below you will find explained how to download Farming Simulator 2019 mod on both PC and console .

How to download Farming Simulator mod 2019: PC

In case you have a copy of Farming Simulator 2019 for PC , know that downloading the mods on this version of the game is really very simple. First open the game , then go to the mod screen of the main menu by double clicking on it or pressing the X or A key on the controller. Remember that you must be connected to the Internet to view the menu correctly .

The first submenu, called ModHub , is the one reserved for official mods , which are published directly by the developers. These are cataloged according to the different boxes that you can see in the center of the screen, named according to the type of mod.

For example, you can choose to take a look at the Objects or Animals category to see all the mods related to that content. Click or select with the X or A key of the controller the category you prefer to access another menu, within which all the mods available for that category are present.

To view more results, press the X key on the keyboard, or the L3 key on the controller. All you have to do is simply open the mod you want to install, to access the summary menu of its features, then you have to press the X or A key on the controller or the Enter key on the keyboard, to install it.

Then return to the main menu, with the Back button , then, if asked, confirm to restart the game and install the mod . Then reenter the game to find the content you just downloaded ready to be used!

A second method to download mods is to do it manually from the manufacturer’s website and then insert the data package containing the mods into the Farming Simulator mod folder . It’s nothing complicated, first go to the ModHub section of the FS official website .

Once this is done, you can search for the mods that interest you through the Search Mods search bar , or scroll through the more than 200 pages of the site dedicated to mods, to search for the most interesting ones. You can find the most downloaded by clicking on the Top Downloaded button , while the most voted can be found in the Top section .

Once you have identified the mod you are interested in, click on it and check that it is compatible with version 19 of the game, taking a look at the name of the version next to the word Game . Once this is done, if the mod is compatible, click on the Zip Download button and wait a few seconds.

Once the package has been downloaded, use the Windows File Explorer (the yellow folder icon on the taskbar) to go to the path This PC> Documents , access the My Games folder , then to the one relating to Farming Simulator 2019 . At this point, all you have to do is open the mods folder and copy the previously downloaded mod archive into it (without extracting it).

The mod will then be available in the game. In case of second thoughts, to uninstall the mods from Farming Simulator 2019 , access the game mod screen , then go to the Installed section , click on the mod you intend to uninstall, then press the Triangle or Y button on the controller, or the Back button keyboard to uninstall it.

Downloading mods for Farming Simulator 2019 for PS4 , but also for Xbox , is extremely simple. To do this, you just need to follow the same procedure already seen for PC .

The only difference is that, as easily imaginable, it will not be possible for you to install the mods manually , but you will have to do it from the mod menu located in the main screen of the video game.

The ModHub community of the official Farming Simulator website keeps the game up to date through the various mod releases. To download them from the main menu of the game, open the game and click or select with the X or A key of the controller the option called mod .

Remember that you have activated your internet connection . Once you reach the screen containing the various categories of mod, access one of them to view all the mods available for download for that category, then choose the mod you prefer.

You can start the download of the mod through the Install button , then return to the main screen and confirm that you want to restart the game, in order to install it correctly. To uninstall it, in case of second thoughts, all you have to do is repeat the procedure, then click on the Uninstall button .
