Best Mods for Farming Simulator 22: New Maps, Equipment, Infinite Money and Improved Graphics
Although it has been less than a month since the release of Farming Simulator 22, the game has already acquired an impressive number of mods. Among the user additions, there are those that allow you to find yourself in the Russian countryside with the appropriate equipment, authentic radio, and location. In our material, we have collected the most interesting mods for those who find the current numerous possibilities of the game insufficient.
How to install mods in Farming Simulator 22 on Windows and Mac OS X
After downloading the mod files, you need to install them correctly. To do this, use the instructions below and follow each step step-by-step:
- Open the folder with the downloaded zip archive and copy it. Usually, all downloaded files are placed in the Downloads folder.
- Go to the path C:/Users//Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2022/mods.
- Paste the copied archive.
- Launch the game and go to the Career section.
- Select the desired save slot and activate the markers next to the modification.
- Click the Start button to load the game world. If equipment was added, open the store and buy it in the corresponding section.
Some modifications have the exe extension. In this case, just double-click them with the left mouse button to install. All mod files will be automatically extracted to the necessary folders.
In rare cases, the downloaded archive may have the rar extension. It is used only for data compression and reducing the document's size, so inside it, there will be a file with a zip or exe extension. Extract it to any location and use the above instructions for proper modification installation.
When using Mac OS X, do not extract the zip archive, but transfer it to the mods folder. To do this, go to the path:
Go/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2022/.
Sometimes the Library folder may be hidden. In this case, you need to press the Go button and click on the Go to Folder option. In the opened window, enter ~/Library without quotes and press the Go button. The Library folder will open. Now you can drag it to the left menu to pin it.
It is worth noting that some modifications, such as Russian Radio Stations, may be installed in another folder, so carefully read our instructions on the improvement page.
