Hi and welcome to the forums.

What platform are you on PC/Mac? If you're on PC, it's under Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2017/mods

As for safe mod sites... Obviously, the Giants modhub is safe: https://www.farming-simulator.com/mods. ... country=gb

Likewise, any mods from FSUK are safe as they're either hosted at FSUK or on the Giants Modhub. As far as other sites are concerned, Modhoster.com/de is OK, but check the download link. If it's hosted directly at modhoster, then it's safe. If it's on say uploaded.net then get ready for a lot of pop-ups!

I try to avoid modhub.us as there are a heck of a lot of pirated/broken/bugged/poor mods on there, plus some of them also contain malware.

PS. Could a mod move this to tech support/modding as this isn't really a bug rep as such.

EDIT: beaten to it by don apple!

Edit don_apple: and moved to the proper location.
