Try loading the game with no mods at all and see what happens.

[letsberealhere2]

Even with no mods it is almost impossible to drive with any vehicle. It lags so bad

I saw that you were running a Mac and I don't deal with those sadly, only Windows.

But, what you could try is a reinstall of the game.

[HITMAN82]

In previous versions you could get this sort of lag from too many vehicles, straw bales and hay bales (bales were treated like vehicles). I don't know if this has been fixed in '17. Do you have a modded map in your mods folder? Multiple maps in the mods folder has caused problems in previous versions, again I don't know if that's been fixed in this version.

From the error log:

Load mod: Buncher_Blade_V1_UNZIP_ME
Error: Failed to open xml file '/Users/Adam/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/Buncher_Blade_V1_UNZIP_ME/modDesc.xml'.

This is a mod inside a zip inside a zip. Extract this mod into your mods folder and then remove "Buncher_Blade_V1_UNZIP_ME" from your mods folder.

It looks like you unzipped mods that were meant to be put straight into your mod folder as a zip file rather than extracted to a sub-folder of the mods folder. Basically, your mods folder looks like a mess and could certainly be causing the problem. A really easy way to test all this is to rename your mods folder to something else (when the game isn't running). Once you've renamed your mods folder, try starting a new game to see if that's laggy. I'd recommend backing up your savegame before attempting to load a savegame after renaming the mods folder, as you might get missing mod errors when attempting to load it. It should be fine as long as you don't save the game before exiting.

So, to sum up: it's pretty likely that the problem is in your mods folder. There are instructional videos on Youtube that show how to install mods correctly, I'd recommend watching a couple of those before tackling any of the suggestions I've made. Be patient and methodical and you should be able to fix it. Good luck!

Edit: I just noticed you're on a Mac, I don't think that will affect the suggestions I've made other than the file management. The mods folder should only contain zip files, and if you look inside the zip file, it should not contain another zip file, only files and folders.

[letsberealhere2]

I have to have the mops unzipped for them to appear in my games .. I've watched every youtube video known to man and the only way they will show up is if they are unzipped????

A Mac person may contradict me here, but I don't see why Giants would require you to unzip the mod and then put warnings in the log after you do so.

When you download a mod to your computer from a web browser, 9 times out of 10 you could just copy or move it straight to your mod folder and it would work as long as it's an FS 17 mod. Mod packs usually come in a zip file that contains their separate mods all lumped together into one zip file that you have to extract into your mods folder. If you open the zip that you've downloaded and look at the files inside, if they're zip files too then you need to extract them. If you see folders and xml files then you shouldn't extract them, the zip can go right into the mod folder.

Another clue to look for is the filename - if it's called tractor_UNZIPME.zip then the mod maker has probably included more than one "vehicle". It could be a tractor with loader arms and buckets, so there could be two or more mods zipped together to make one file to download. In this case you'd extract the files, let's call them tractor.zip, loader.zip and buckets.zip, into the mod folder. When you look in your mods folder you should not normally see any subfolders or any files that don't end with zip.

I hope this helped!

[letsberealhere2]

Here is my log.txt when everything is zipped. (All files inside the zip folders are open). This is the reason I had the files unpacked - but then hey don't work in multiplayer so I'm at a loss here.
