How to play Farming Simulator 22 realistically?

Most Farming Simulator players want to play most realistically virtual farming life. Farming in real life is not an easy job. So if you want to play FS22 realistically get ready to untie your sleeves. Playing realistically means playing hard. That playing style is not for everyone. Some FS fans want just a relaxing game instead of hard work. If you want to get ideas on how to play Farming Simulator realistically keep reading this article.

One of the most important things to play realistically is to use mods. Only with FS22 mods will you achieve the best realism level and try to farm like in real life.

Select the appropriate maps

Choose a map where you will play is the important thing to play realistically. Farming Simulator 22 like previous versions has tons of map mods and a few default maps. Usually, default maps are of excellent quality, they do not have a lot of bugs. Also, they are recreated by real locations in the world. For example, the Estancia Lapacho map reflects South America or Ravenport reflects the Southwestern United States region of South California. In these maps crop cultures are adapted by region. All sell points are balanced by map crop types. Farming buildings realistically blend into the environment.

By using a high-quality FS22 map mod or default map you will avoid situations when the map doesn’t have crop sell point, spinnery or specific buildings required to playfully in the map.

Use FS22 mods

To archive the best realism level you can’t avoid FS22 mods. Mods are the most important thing to expand your game enjoyment. With mods, you can improve the game with new vehicles, buildings, implements and gameplay functionality.

Gameplay mods add more functionality and features. For example Farming Simulator 19 have Seasons, Precision Farming, Auto Driving and much more gameplay mods. They improve the realism level to the highest point. Also, gameplay mods improve the game economy. But about this later in this article.

Another important mods categories are vehicles and implements. These mods help you to use realistic farming machinery. If you play in old-style Eastern Europe map, the best way to use small tractors and implements, which reflects the old period. If you are a fan of large fields and play in American style maps, download large tractors for FS22 with mega implements. Every implement and vehicle must be adapted with the map by machinery size and age.

The same situation with building mods. When you play on a small map try to build only small or average size buildings. If you play on an American map avoid using European buildings and vice versa.

Another feature available only with mods is hand tools. Default Farming Simulator game allows use only chainsaw, as a hand tool. But you can download shovel, rake, wheelbarrow and other small tools. In the real world, not all farming jobs are done by machinery. A lot of processes is going on hand tools. So, take this opportunity and enjoy small jobs on your farm.

FS22 have tons of mods. So, if you want to get the best gameplay experience you must use only high-quality mods. Avoid low-quality mods with a lot of bugs. They destroy the enjoyment of the game.

Do not destroy game economy

A lot of players have the temptation to use cheats. If you just want to explore game features maybe it is ok to use sometimes cheats. But when your target is realistically gameplay you must avoid using any cheats, especially money or economy cheats.

First of all, try to do not to hurry to play the game. Yes, you want to drive an expensive harvester or tractor at the beginning of the game, but for that, you must earn money from yield or animals. We recommend enjoying the game from the beginning when you driving simple, low powered and old vehicles. And slowly to achieve better and better farming machinery.

Another important factor is when you play with FS22 mods. Some low-quality mods have unrealistic prices in-game. For example, you download a brand new John Deere harvester which must cost about 400k virtual Euro. But because the mod is low quality the mod costs only 10 €. That is a big mistake and it destroys the game economy. Why do you need to grow plants or animals if some machinery in a store costs just nothing? This makes the game unrealistic and pointless. Remember, the game economy is one of the most important factors to achieve better farming machinery and play the game longer.
