Best Farming Simulator 22 Mods and How to Install Them

Farming Simulator 22 already has plenty to do in its base game, especially with DLC. Mods can push it much further by adding maps, quality-of-life tools, automation, extra information, and new ways to manage a farm.

This guide lists ten standout Farming Simulator 22 mods and explains how to install them.

Top Farming Simulator 22 Mods

There are hundreds of Farming Simulator 22 mods available. The following options are useful because they solve common problems, add strong maps, or make repeat tasks less tedious.

10. Government Subsidy

The Government Subsidy mod is available on all Farming Simulator 22 versions. It adds a way to receive funding for buildings, equipment, seeds, livestock, and other farm needs.

Buy a Government Subsidized sign from the Generators section of the shop and place it on your farm. The mod includes Government and Municipality options. Government provides much larger money support, while Municipality keeps the payments more realistic.

9. No Man's Land

No Man's Land adds a map set near the France and Spain border. It is mostly empty, which makes it ideal for players who want to turn rough land into a working farm from scratch.

8. Mobile Utilities

The Mobile Utilities mod helps reduce repeated trips across the map. It lets players bring certain items and tools through a unique console, which is handy when you are tired of driving back to the farm for one more supply run.

7. Calmsden Farm

Calmsden Farm is a map based on Gloucestershire in the UK. It recreates the real-world area and includes extra content such as a new linseed fruit and the ability to sell certain signs.

6. Liftable Pallets and Big Bags

The Liftable Pallets and Big Bags mod changes pallets and big bags to a fixed 100kg weight. That allows your character to lift and move them by hand instead of requiring heavy equipment every time.

5. Autodrive

The Autodrive mod lets you create a network of drivable points on the map. AI can then drive a vehicle to a chosen destination. You can also use the vehicle-switching feature to jump to that location afterward.

4. Additional Field Info

The Additional Field Info mod adds more crop inspection data, including price per hectare and potential harvest quantity. It is useful when deciding which fields are worth your time and fuel.

3. Park Vehicle

The Park Vehicle mod prevents parked vehicles from appearing when cycling through vehicles. It is a simple fix for large farms where tabbing through every tractor, truck, and lonely trailer becomes its own mini-game.

2. Fuel Level Warning

The Fuel Level Warning mod plays an audible warning when a vehicle drops below 20% fuel. It is persistent, but useful if you often forget to check fuel before sending a machine across the map.

1. Follow Me

The Follow Me mod lets AI-controlled vehicles follow you around the map. It is ideal for moving multiple vehicles without driving each one individually. This mod is only available for Windows and Mac.

Where to Download Mods

You can find Farming Simulator 22 mods through the in-game mod hub, the official website, or third-party sites.

In-Game Mod Hub

From the main menu, open Downloadable Content to access the mod hub. Mods downloaded here install automatically and are generally the easiest option.

You can also browse the official Farming Simulator mod hub portal. Mods from the website may require manual installation.

Third-Party Sites

Third-party sites also host Farming Simulator 22 mods. Use caution with unofficial downloads. Larger sites such as Nexus Mods are commonly used, but you should still check files and sources before installing anything.

How to Install Farming Simulator 22 Mods

Mods downloaded from the in-game mod hub do not need extra installation steps. Download the mod, load your save, and choose which mods to activate.

For manual downloads, use this process:

1. Open the Farming Simulator 22 mods folder. The default path is Documents > My Games > FarmingSimulator2022 > mods.
2. Move the compressed mod file into the mods folder.
3. Do not extract the file. Farming Simulator 22 reads compressed mod files.
4. Launch the game and load your save.
5. Select the mods you want to use when prompted.

If you host a multiplayer world through HolyHosting, make sure everyone uses the same required mods so players can join without version or missing-file issues.
