How to Install a Mod in Farming Simulator 25

If you have come to this page, you probably decided to use mods in Farming Simulator 25 and want to know how to install them. This is a great decision! Mods can significantly enhance gameplay, making it much more interesting and engaging. Using mods is especially beneficial if the game no longer brings the same enjoyment and everything in it has already been explored.

First, let's understand what mods are. They are special sets of files that together form a cohesive and functional addition. They can bring various changes to the gameplay and even game mechanics. For example, by using a mod, you can add equipment that is not in the game or add any buildings, factories, items, and even entire locations! Mods also allow adding new mechanics and gameplay features to the game.

Now that we know a bit about mods, let's move on to the installation process itself. Let's find out how to install mods for FS 25!

Below we will look at installation instructions for both Windows and Mac OS.

Installing a Mod for FS 25 on Windows 10/11

The installation process for Windows is incredibly simple and does not require much effort. So, let's get straight to it!

Step 1. Downloading the Mod from ModLand

In the mods section for FS 25 on the website, you will find many interesting and useful mods for this game. Choose the mod you need and click download.

Step 2. Find and Copy the Downloaded File

After the mod is downloaded to your computer, you need to find it. Usually, all downloaded files are saved in the "Downloads" folder. You may have a different path selected for downloading files in your browser, or you may have chosen a path yourself. Go to the folder where the downloaded mod archive is located (you can click "Show in folder" in the browser's Downloads).

Now you need to copy the file using the CTRL+C key combination or select the appropriate option in the menu (right-click on the file).

Important! The standard file extension for a mod in Farming Simulator 25 (and previous game series) is .zip. If the downloaded archive has a different extension, it needs to be unpacked and the contents copied as a folder or .zip file.

Step 3. Paste the Copied Mod into the Required Folder

This is the final stage of installing the mod. Go to the "Mods" folder located at the following address: C:\Users\[Your name]\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed a mod for FS 25!

Note: If you have the German version of the game, the path might be slightly different, and the folder will be called "Landwirtschafts Simulator 2025" instead of "Farming Simulator 25".

Installing FS 25 Mod on MAC OS

Above, we explained how to install a mod for Farming Simulator 25 on personal computers and laptops running Windows. But what about MAC OS? The game is also available on it, so mods can be used as well.

The process is not much different from the previous one, so we will not describe it again. Let's assume you have already downloaded and copied the mod. Now you just need to place the file in the "Mods" folder. The only difference is in the directories! On MAC OS it is slightly different.

If Farming Simulator 25 is installed from the Appstore, the path will be: ~/Library/Containers/com.focus-home.farmingsim2025/Data/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2025/mods.

If the game is installed from Steam or in any other way, the path will be: /Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2025/mods.

That's it! These steps are enough to install a mod on devices running MAC OS!

What to Do if There Is No Mods Folder?

If you are trying to install a mod for FS 25 but notice that the required folder for its installation is missing from the specified directories, create it manually. It is usually created automatically immediately after installing the game. But in some cases, this folder may be missing and needs to be created manually. It is important that it is called "Mods" and nothing else!

In this guide, we looked at how to install mods for the game Farming Simulator 25. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments!

Sometimes situations arise when a mod does not work or the game does not see it. If you encounter such a situation, we recommend reading our other guide, titled: "Mod Not Working for FS 25 — Solution." There we discuss the most common reasons why this situation can occur, as well as how to solve them.

Installing Mods for Farming Simulator 25 through the Official ModHub

Another way to install mods in the game is through the official mod store. This is quite convenient as it eliminates the need to download files and copy them into the necessary folder. You just need to click a few buttons. However, there are also downsides. For example, you may not find the right mod from the needed author since not all modders publish their mods there.

To install mods through the official ModHub, follow the instructions:

Launch Farming Simulator 25.

In the main menu, click "DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT"

Select the category of mods and the specific mod you want to install.

On the mod page, click the "Install" button.

After successful installation, you will receive a corresponding message. To uninstall a mod, click the "Uninstall" button on the same page.


Done!
