Mod Downloads

[sugabear1658]

I have been looking all over Giants Software as well as Steam trying to figure out why my mods will not show up in the game when they're in the the mods folder. I have done literally everything that everyone has said to do and still nothing works. Can anyone help?

I will recap some things for you to check off your list:

1. Make sure the mod(s) are for FS19, not FS22/17/15 etc.
2. Make sure when you launch your savegame the mods have been selected to be used in that savegame: A checkmark by each listed mod that you want in the savegame.
3. Make sure they are in the "mods" folder in this location:
"c:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2019\"
4. Have you renamed the mod(s) zip file? Some mods don't like being renamed.
5. Try starting a new savegame, and see if there are mods listed on the Mods/DLC page.
6. Try uninstalling and re-installing the game through steam. Backup your data folder first, just in case.

Maybe someone else can add to this checklist.

If you store your Steam games on a different drive than "C" you might need to redirect the path to that location.

example...
ModsDirectoryOverrideDirectory=K:/FS19_mods

It shouldn't matter if you have the game files on another drive. The game will still look for the mods in the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2019\mods folder unless you redirect the game to another mod folder as you suggest. This redirect will have to be in the gameSettings.xml in the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2019\ folder.

This creates a problem if the user has his documents folder on OneDrive or another cloud storage.

Also, don't unzip the mod folder. Leave them in the appropriate zip.

Depending on where you downloaded it from, it could be a zip in a zip folder. That won't work.

Or a zip in a rar file. If the file is inside a rar or zip file it usually means there are multiple zip files inside. The creator is responsible for letting you know.
