Questions, answered straight.
Short answers. For putting your farm in the game step by step, see How to install.
The basics
Is it really free? Why?
Yes. No account and nothing to buy. ModMyFarm is brought to you by the same team that develops Ditch Assist®, Geo-Surface Pro and TerraZoner. Your mod carries no ads. → Drainage & zones
Which game is it for?
For Farming Simulator 25 on PC. Not FS22 or consoles.
Does it work with FS22?
No. It builds maps for Farming Simulator 25 only, and FS22 can't load them.
Can I play it on console?
No. Consoles only load mods from GIANTS' ModHub. You can submit your own 2 km map there yourself; we can't help with that or promise it gets approved.
Will it work on my computer?
You need a Windows PC with Farming Simulator 25, and Chrome, Edge or Firefox. A 2 km map uses about 3 GB of memory while it builds, a 4 km map about 4.5 GB, up to 6 GB in Firefox. On an 8 GB computer, close the game first.
Can I use it on my phone?
You can look around on a phone. Building a farm needs a computer, so send yourself the link.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes for a first farm when your fields import automatically, longer if you draw most of them. Then a minute or two to build, a few minutes for 4 km.
Can I just download a farm and play?
Yes. The example farms are ready to play: one ZIP each, into your mods folder. → Download a farm
Do I need GIANTS Editor or other mods?
No. ModMyFarm builds the whole map, ready to play: copy the ZIP straight into your mods folder. Everything on it comes from the game itself.
Is it safe?
Yes. No account, no cookies, and ModMyFarm keeps nothing about you unless you send a problem report. You get one ZIP of map files and pictures, no programs.
Who makes ModMyFarm? Is it GIANTS?
Not GIANTS. ModMyFarm is brought to you by Ditch Assist and GIS4AG. Farming Simulator is a trademark of GIANTS Software GmbH. → See what we build
Can I use it to plan real drainage?
No, it makes game maps. Geo-Surface Pro: Advanced drainage design, from LiDAR to the machine. Ditch Assist: RTK ditch grade control for surface drainage. This is what Ditch Assist® was born to do. TerraZoner: Zones you can explain. → See what we build
Your land and fields
Can I bring in my own field boundaries?
Yes. Open a shapefile, KML, KMZ or GeoJSON from your farm software or Google Earth, in Find your land, or later in Farm basics. Then split, join or tidy any field. The file stays on your computer.
Do my fields import automatically?
In many areas, yes: one click brings in your fields with the roads, buildings, fences, hedges, power lines and tree rows. Out in the country some may be missing: draw them in or open your own boundaries.
Can I draw my fields?
Yes. Click around each field. It takes a few clicks.
Where are the hills LiDAR-mapped?
The United States, Canada (in parts), the UK (England, and parts of Scotland), France (some mountains measured from photos), the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia), Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Estonia and New Zealand (in parts).
What if my place has no LiDAR?
You still get real ground, measured by satellite. Big hills come out right; small ditches may not show. The app tells you which kind you got.
My farm is bigger than one map.
A 2 km map holds about 1,000 acres. A 4 km map, which players call a 4x map, holds about 4,000. Land up to about 20 km (12 miles) across can be squeezed to fit: fields shrink, buildings and machines don't. Or make several farms.
The hills are too steep to drive.
Make them gentler in the Ground step, anywhere from their real height down to nearly flat.
In the game
Will the buildings look like mine?
They'll be the game building nearest yours in kind and size. Click any building in the app to pick another.
Can I choose my machines?
Yes. Take a ready-made set or pick your own. They're waiting in your farmyard.
Is the weather like home?
Close to it. The game's seasons are set from five years of real weather where your farm is.
Can I play with friends?
Everyone needs the same ZIP in their own mods folder.
Privacy and sharing
Does my farm get uploaded anywhere?
No. It's made in your browser and stays on your computer. To fetch its ground and roads, the app asks public map services, and ModMyFarm's own copy of OpenStreetMap, for the map around your square. → Privacy
Is my work saved?
Your last five farms are kept in this browser. To keep one for good, use File › Save farm file.
Can I make videos of my farm?
Yes. GIANTS allows videos of its games, even ones that earn money, as long as they're about the game. → For video makers
