Tips for Modding

Post by BottKIAus »

Hi, my son wants to get an Air-Seeder Mod, he has picked the one he wants. But I am sceptical about downloading etc. Can someone please advise what we have to do and is it an extra cost? A scared mum that's all!! Just want some info before downloading the mod. Cheers, BottKIAus. :biggrin2:

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The well respected sites for downloading mods don't charge anything for downloading mods, however after a mod has been installed it has to be bought with in-game money like any other equipment.

For further tips for using mods with the game please have a look at the following post: viewtopic.php?f=895&t=102821&p=791562#p791562

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response. Can you suggest some respected sites, we were looking at one the other day but now I can't remember it, ModLab comes to mind?

Thanks again.

Hi,
We have downloaded an air seeder and cart from FS UK. The instructions say to put the Mod into the Documents folder of one's C Drive, which I have done.....how do we access once we have FS17 open? How do we get it into the game? Do I need to put the airseeder and cart zIP fILE into FS17 before opening the game up eg within the FS17 file on the computer's C Drive?
Thanks in advance.

The first reply don_apple made had a link to a thread explaining where mods go when you download them.
