Is there any way or mod that could let me increase the loan limit? And if so, can I keep this loan limit modification restricted to one particular saved game?

Guess you could edit the xml's of the save game to show the amount you want, ie change the cash value that you have and add the same amount to the loan total that you have, can't say I have ever needed to increase the load limit, in fact I very rarely even need to take out a loan.

Maybe some other farmers on here may know a better way.

Have a look here:

Yeah thanks for the tip, but this only allow me to add money. The gameplan was to be able to take a bigger loan at the start of the game, to get a boost. But then start paying it all back. So I'm only looking for being able to raise the loan limit, not just adding money. But it doesn't seem possible to do that I guess.

As far as I know, the loan limit is worked out on how much land you own. You could always add in money, buy land you aren’t planning on using and increase the loan limit that way.

It’s a long way around but may work

Edit the savegames xml files:
careerSavegame.xml --> money
farms.xml --> loan and money

Just increase your loan and money accordingly. make sure to put same money value in both files. This daes not increase your loan limit, but you can get higher initial loan at the beginning.

Yeah, I guess that's the only way. I would prefer though to take my loans in game. But is doesn't seem possible to raise the loan limit in some XML file. But thanks for your suggestions

Im surprised nobody mentions seasons or real life numbers. Both of these mods adjust how much loan you can take out and raises the limit significantly over vanilla FS as far as I know.

Oh really? Just started playing seasons. Will check that out.. thanks

From what I've found, purchasing land doesn't always do it right away, but purchasing buildings will. If you put up a bin site or shop, and a few other things, it will let you borrow at around 80% LTV of your total assets owned.

On welker farms on console on seasons just owning the main field that you start with I was able to take out a 1 mil loan. Bought field 3, 21, 22 and my loan is now maxed out at 3 mil. My somewhat goal is to just take as much out of loans as I can in the first year. Than work on paying it back the rest of the years

Taking as many loans as possible are my usual strategy in all simulators. But this strategy backfires like half of the times because if I fail to build my economy enough to cover my margins they snowball me to the oblivion

Welcome to real life farming.

IIRC, the loan limit has a direct correlation to your assets. Increase your assets and you can take a bigger loan. AFAIK, it's 50% max.
