New to FS17. Any mods to recommend?

To improve gameplay is better. =D

Multiplayer mods are good too cause I'll be playing with 2 other friends. :D

-for gameplay closer to reality: Seasons mod
-other income streams : Placeable Greenhouses by Stevie and Slow BeePack
-general quality of life improvements : Trailer Assist (easier backing up) and Bale storage (less tedious than stacking bales with janky physics)

Thanks. If I install these mods, will my friends on multiplayer also need to download?

Quality of life mods include, Follow me and GPS. Also also the 4 Real mods are useful. all in the in-game mod hub.

As to multiplayer. Any mods the host is using on their server will have to be in the guests mods and active.

The most important mods in my opinion (especially in single player) are

Courseplay (allows you to make workers do more helpful things in a better way - check out tutorials on You Tube)

GPS mod (helps you keep to a straight line when working the fields and this is a real thing in real life now)

Follow Me: You can make a vehicle follow another vehicle (and have a train of them) to the destination.

Glance: Allows you to see what the workers are doing at any time, and how full the trailers/combines/seed drills are. There is another mod that does this too.

I recommend checking out FSUK website, they have lots of great mods in addition to the in-game ModHub.

Yes. Every player on a MP game will need the same mods installed.

id reccomend the unimog mod. it's very versitile. ive seen mogs used for everything from forestry and hauling to potatoes, even shoveling snow... its the most versitile thing i can come up with that would be useful

If you're going for realism, go for the MoreRealistic mod. Its on Modhub.

Thank you for what! :D

I appreciate everyone's replies!

I dare not go for Seasons or too-Realism mods for now since i'm new. But those suggestions of GPS, Follow-Me, Glance sounds good QOL kind of mods. :)
