How to install FS17 mods?
Firstly find a mod which you like and want to download. Then download a mod to your PC. Mods are usually in .zip format file. But sometimes it can be in .rar. If a mod file is a .zip format no needed additional actions. If a file is in .rar, then you must unarchive mod with software like WinRar or Zip7. Windows 10 users no need to use software for archives, Win10 itself has a feature to unarchive files.
The next step is to find mods folder in your PC. Usually, it is in Documents/My Games/Farming Simulator 17/2017. Open the "mods" folder and put downloaded .zip archive or unarchived .rar file to this folder.
Last step. Enjoy of FS17 mods!
We actually do grow sugarbeets in the US in Minnesota.
That’s because they used data that is 20 YEARS out of date.
If the modders had been bothered to do a bit more research they would have found another paper by the same organisation (USDA) that was written in 2010, but I suppose that would need them to use their intelligence (what little they have) and do a little bit more extensive research.
That is why I still class this as a game, not a simulator, because the developers (and some of the modders) are too lazy to use ‘actual’ information/data/technical specifications and just ‘smash’ together something that they think the unwashed masses want (yes, I’m part of the unwashed).
But they (developers/modders) are S_L_O_W_L_Y getting there, even though it has taken over 4 years………..
