The core gameplay of Farming Simulator 19 is, as the title suggests, a full farm life simulator. Mods enhance the base game by adding additional vehicles, maps, crops, and more. Some add advanced game mechanics like variable seasons to make the game more difficult.
Farming Simulator 19 openly encourages modding. The official site has a modhub, with the best mods from official users and developers. There are dozens of categories housing thousands of mods. Vehicle mods are one of the most popular and abundant, while other types are more niche. We have found the ten best mods to add to improve your Farming Simulator 19 gameplay.

The Big Bud 747 is a huge tractor that puts everything else to shame. It's not the most customizable tractor, but size matters more. Players can change the amount of wheels, ranging from standard four wheels to up to 12. It has 1100 horsepower, which makes it capable of pulling whatever you throw at it.
It's a nice mod that vehicle fans will love. It doesn't flinch with some of the bigger tools, keeping up with whatever's attached. However, it doesn't have the best turning radius and the more wheels added will make it clunky and prone to getting stuck on fences or walls.

Composite machine sheds have three different sheds, each of a different size. They can be purchased from the store and placed on any plot of land owned by the player. The hangars house vehicles up to 16 meters long. Each shed comes with a lightweight installation and sectional doors that open and close at the push of a button. Unless you go for a very specific decorating scheme, these will work with any card.

While it's less of a mod and more of a DLC, it does come close to what a mod would do instead of a DLC. It adds a competitive play mode to the base game, mirroring the official competitive tournament. This mod is only available for PC players and highly recommended for server owners. Hosted games can experience difficulty. Dedicated servers will run more smoothly and will not stress the host's computer.

There are already a lot of map options available, ranging from official status to user-created status. Most of the maps are based on existing locations, such as the Ireland map mod. FlatMap is a customizable map for players who want to make their own maps without using the mod creator. The map only contains stores, as these cannot be deleted, and land. Buildings, trees, rocks, walls, bodies of water and fences are not included.
This card allows creativity, but it cannot be used on its own. Unless you want to farm in a vacuum, you will need to get the res
