There are hundreds of mods available for Farming Simulator 22, even though it just came out. I guess modders have been waiting for this game for quite a while. So what are the best mods to install onto your game, and where can you find great mods? We can answer those questions right here.
New FS22 Features
Before discussing modding, let’s go over a few of the best new additions to Farming Simulator 22. These new machines, game mechanics, and features are sure to make the game so much better than previous editions.
- The production line – Perhaps the biggest new game mechanic in Farming Simulator 22 is the production line. Now, you can create sellable items with the products from your farm.
- Hundreds of new sounds – The developers of FS22 announced that they overhauled their entire library of sounds for the new game. Audio engineers recorded brand new machine sounds for every kind of terrain and even made the sounds more complex, especially for the engines. Animals sounds are more varied, and footsteps will have different sounds, depending on the type of terrain your character walks through
- Wind will have a significant impact on crops. Like the real world, the wind in the game can now affect your trees and crops, and bad weather can ruin crops if they are not protected.
In a few months, be on the lookout for mods that improve or extend the features and mechanics above. I’ve been playing Farming Simulator since 2013, and one of the first mods that I always download is improved weather graphics. I plan to download improved graphics mods in FS22 as well. This time around, because the game has a new season-based weather system, the graphics, details, and realism are sure to be amazing.
