For the most popular agricultural game Farming Simulator 2019, there are many modifications. In this material, we decided to gather 15 best mods for FS 2019 featuring new tractors, trucks, and locations. Let's not drag the combine behind the trailer and get straight to our top picks.
Let's start with Kaminki Map — a mod that adds a small map to the game, which the creators assure has a Polish atmosphere. On it, players will find four farms (pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens), more than 70 fields, four points of sale, and (surprisingly) car traffic. Among the more global changes, new object textures, including water, and altered surroundings stand out. There aren't that many changes, but quantity doesn't always mean quality, right?
The next mod is sure to appeal to all fans of domestic classics. The ZIL 130 mod, as the name suggests, brings iconic Soviet trucks into the game. The detailed elaboration of the transport is worth noting separately. Firstly, there is an option to choose the type of body and engine. Secondly, the trucks are equipped with an animated dashboard. Thirdly, the vehicles have functioning lighting equipment, so you can work in the fields even late at night. For those who prefer full customization, there is an option to choose the color of the cabin, wheels, body, and more.
Another mod from the same author adds the MAZ-5516A2 truck and the MAZ-856101 trailer to the game. There's not much to say. Customization of the truck to your tastes and needs is the same as in the previous addon: choice of cabin color, body color, several wheel options, and so on. The trailer also features an animated suspension, mudguards, and lighting equipment. Fans of realism will surely appreciate that the trucks can get dirty and need to be washed periodically. The only downside is the in-game economy seems strange. For example, the truck costs 20 thousand in-game euros — half as much as in the real world. The same goes for the trailer — that's not right!
Let's move from content modifications to a global one. The STAROWIES addon offers gamers a new location featuring 90 (!) fields, a new farm, new types of animals, altered lighting, and changing seasons. It's also worth noting the replacement of almost all familiar models and reworked map boundaries. It looks beautiful and fresh — if you're tired of the original FS 2019, it's definitely worth playing.
For those tired of the usual contract system, the Better Contracts modification is worth a look. The addon significantly develops this aspect in both single-player and multiplayer games. The maximum number of tasks and the number of generated missions have increased, and new missions now appear by pressing the Refresh button. For those used to taking on all tasks at once, there is now the ability to activate more than one contract per session. There aren't many changes, but they noticeably alter the gameplay.
This location is modeled after the surroundings of a real farm in the fertile hills of Scotland. Let's briefly go over all the innovations: three operating farms, three forest zones, four grain sale points. It is also worth noting the presence of working workshops and a more convenient vehicle sales system.
Well, it's time to return to the machinery from the former USSR. The Belarus 821 mod adds the iconic Belarus tractor, well-known to residents of post-Soviet countries, to the game. The detailing of the machinery is impressive. In addition to the usual animation of lighting equipment and the dirt system, the authors have even included working mirrors and power windows. If you've always dreamed of sitting behind the wheel of this legendary tractor, you'll definitely like this mod.
We all love Bergish with its beautiful landscape, many small dirt roads, and a lot of amazing details, say the developers of the Bergisch Land mod in their welcome letter. The mod will be interesting for those who struggle with driving on narrow roads, each of which promises a real challenge for the driver. Players know that many country roads are surrounded by woven fences, making it tough for big truck enthusiasts. That's why the mod offers the AutoDrive course, which helps anyone learn to handle heavyweights.
If you're good at handling trucks, but there's a catastrophic shortage of trucks to collect all the harvest, the Scania XT 8×8 Flat Bed truck mod will come to the rescue. The tractor allows you to transport huge loads, accelerating up to 80 km/h. The model can be customized to your tastes by changing the engine or the platform color. The creators did not forget about realism enthusiasts either. The tractor can get dirty, and dust flies from under the wheels when driving on rough terrain.
If we've sorted out cargo delivery, the question of harvesting remains open. The Artsway 6812D harvester, which can be added to the game with the mod of the same name, is here to help with that difficult task. Let's go over its characteristics: working width — 6.7 meters, working speed — 10 km/h, required tractor power for this beauty — 280 hp. The harvester leaves tracks on the ground and gets dirty, so it will need to be washed periodically.
The next mod will be relevant for Christmas and New Year. However, there's nothing particularly remarkable about it. Christmas Market Mulled Wine adds Christmas decorations to the game. For example, the sales point is adorned with lights that will please the eye during the day and illuminate the area at night. It's a pity there are no trees and snow in the mod: unfortunately, the holiday atmosphere cannot be conveyed with just garlands.
But let's get back to new maps. If you've long dreamed of going to sunny Brazil but lacked the time and money for a flight to South America, you should check out the South Brazilian Map. The map is based on the regions of Taió, Santa Catarina, and Southern Brazil. The mod features a pedestrian system and a small town. New crops that were not in the original game have also been added: black beans, rice, and sorghum. A new tree has also appeared — the araucaria, which grows in southern Brazil.
From South America, let's move to North America. The Deere Country map offers to explore the American countryside. The most interesting feature of the mod is that the field locations correspond to real ones from Google Maps. In addition, the game has added a copy of the John Deere Waterloo Assembly plant and three farms with individual pens for cows, pigs, and sheep. Seasons change is provided, and thanks to the customizable environment, you can observe stunning sunrises and sunsets.
For a long-time fan of the series, the name of this mod already says a lot. Yes, it's the same popular location from Farming Simulator 2017. But now you can play it in the current version of the game. The village of Bukhalovo is located in the Russian hinterland, the terrain is completely flat, surrounded by many forests, which is conducive to forestry, the creators of the mod describe their brainchild. In addition to the authentic settlement, new crops such as hops, tobacco, onions, and carrots have appeared in the game.
From Russia — back to the USA. This time we have to set up business in the state of Pennsylvania. The mod developers claim that they created their modification with a claim to the realism of the environment, so custom buildings are used in the game, and many fields are irregularly shaped. The number of fields has increased to 60. Besides them, you can find a livestock farm, a store, and a gas station on the map. Not much, but everything you need for a good mod is there.
