I would imagine that it would change the games rating. They probably want to keep it rated E.

Don't shoot me because this is not based on me as an opinion, but more reasoning as to why a developer would make the decision ...

Tobacco is usually looked down upon for children to be involved with in a gaming environment, and this game is rated "E" for everyone, meaning all ages. I hate to say it, but include tobacco in the game and the rating would indeed change. All the crazy conservative fanatics out there would go "OMGZ, my kid iz playingz zis game and iz growingz thingz meant for smokingz!!! SUE SUE SUE SUE!" Because ... politics.

Modding, however, still makes this possible. There was tobacco farming in FS15 via mods. There will be in 17 eventually, also.

OH yeah. Cotton was a mod crop in FS15 and as FS17 was getting teased I noticed that some of the mod crops for FS15 were brought in ... so I was SO dearly hoping for cotton at the start.

Giants ... if you read this ... I would happily even pay for a DLC that brings in cotton.

Growing tobacco is also very hard on the soil I think. Pulls A LOT of the nutrients out of it.

They have combines for cotton picking. Check out John Deere's site.

This is Farming Simulator 2017, not Farming Simulator 1817. You do realize cotton has been grown and harvested even after the Civil War correct? :this:

Why discussion about other crop types in this game, if there are still a lot of bugs / problems in the game.. That they invest that time to smooth these out..
And iam really not waiting on other new brands, they better add more content to there existing introduced onces.
