Bought the first one in 2009 I think. Might have to get the updated version

Bought the latest one for the brother for Christmas. He gets great pleasure telling the mother he can't do any jobs around the house cause he's 200 acres of Barley to go plant!

2015, when you get it first thing you should do is buy some beehives and then some windmills. Having them makes farming on even more realistic. It's like having a big SFP, sorry BPS and Greening coming every hour. Even as a crappy farmer you can afford loads of new gear and you don't have to work very hard. Fun times

I bought this for my bf a couple of months ago and now he's gone a bit crazy. He spends all day farming, comes home and plays with his virtual farm and spends hours talking about it with his brother. He loves the bloody thing. I don't... haha

Its an addictive game. Especially the on line version. Good game of a miserable wet windy night.

Used to play this a lot one time.
It's frustrating that you can't hire workers to cut silage very very time consuming.
It's a pity that they never went deeper with nutrient management and NPK etc it always felt pointless pulling out the fertiliser spreader.

in the '15 version I've seen my brother have many machines on the go at once. He was seeding a field while he had some other hired in help plough another one. That functionality is definitely there, might be worth a google if you're having issue finding out how to do it

You can do a heap of things at once cutting corn sowing dung spreading fertiliser spreading. I put in the cheat code at the beginning for money, makes life a lot easier

You can't set up a tractor and mower and cut grass with the hired workers.
You can't hire a worker to drive a self propelled silage harvester either.i could never understand why they never fixed this.
Every other crop you can hire in workers to harvest. It must be something to do with the swarths of grass maybe the AI engine just can't handle a crop that doesn't disappear instantly or is not one homogenous block that gradually gets smaller.

You could give an entire day doing silage. If you were to go real authentic and use an 7 or 8 ft mower it could take even longer. I suppose it is simulating the real thing there. But it would be nice if you could delegate the task and watch the crop being cut from a birds eye view or go away and have a cup of tea and come back with a good chunk of the silage done. Maybe I'm a lazy badtard.
Actually thats what I wish for in the real world doing silage as well maybe this game is super realistic.

lakill Farm

I had 2011, 2013 and santa got me 2015 last year. or did I go to town buy it and told the man in red I was bold and didn't care what he thought.

2015 is not a bad game. kinda miss some parts of the 2013 game. No SP sprayer. its an awful pity you cant just upload 2015 data into say 2017. Its a bolix starting off from scratch again.


I had about 120 hours done on farm sim 2011 and my nephew deleted it by accident because it was slagging him I had a better farm than him. About 10 days later he confessed to deliberately deleting it . How I didn't kill him I will never know. :mad:

There's a version out now that comes with a gol version of the game and steering wheel,pedals and buttons. 250 euro I think. I'll be right back.

If you have the PC edition you can download a fleet of Masseys. There's lads making mods of every tractor from a 135 to the 8000 series.

Yeah but they don't be as good as the ones that come with the game itself

Often they are much better than the ones that come with the game.

There was a more realistic mod on Fs 2013 that used to have black smoke coming from the exhaust and slow you down to a crawl when going up hills with trailers of grain and wheel slip and everything way more realistic than the default game.
You just need a decent PC to handle it.

Look up some of the mod showcases lads have up on YouTube, it will show you the level of detail that the new mods have gone into. Most of the mods are far better than the machinery in the game. Of course there's rubbish ones as well but such is life!

Would anyone recommend it for PS3? Even worse I have no internet so would just be standard game mode.
