Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
My top 3:
1) Autumn Oaks: DFMEP
2) Seasons
3) Community Extension
But if we're not limited to 3....
4) Additional Game Settings
5) Fill Type Mass Adjustment
6) Info Message HUD
7) Manual Attach
8 ) Store Deliveries
9) Realistic Cab View
10) Realistic Seeder
Not necessarily in that order, but those are a lot of the mods in my basic scripts folder. Didn't list equipment since I generally use John Deere, but new mod releases make that subject to change

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
Honestly, Seasons is probably the only mod I absolutely can't play without.

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
1) Seasons
2) Follow Me
3) Placeable refill stations
Pretty much all of my equipment is made up of mods as well. I like being able to use the US versions of all of the Case and Deere tractors, combines and implements. Few really good US truck and trailer mods that I'm thankful for as well. And grain drying through Global Company is also pretty sick. I could go without it, but I don't want to!

Community Extension is the second mod I've not heard of today, looks handy and I bet it adds another layer of immersion, especially if you switch between both an UK/EU map in metrics and a US Map in imperial, adds a bit of local flavour. Question for you, do you know if changing the density of crops in the 'FillType Manager' tab changes the weight of the crops? I guess it doesn't as you use Fill Type Mass Adjustment, so it's more of a volume edit where some trailers will look more full/empty when they reach their max fill volume?

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
I honestly have not messed with crop densities since, as you mentioned, I use Fill Type Mass Adjustment, and that seems to do a pretty good job of making the weights more realistic. Now, crop to crop, I don't know how realistic each grain's weight is with just that mod, but I'm mainly after a heavier load overall. The main reason I use Community Extension is for the unit converts and the display addon which will correctly show miles per hour in the vehicle animations instead of kilometers an hour no matter what unit you have. ThundR's scripts are must haves for me.GrimHuffer wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 6:02 pm More good choices, I use six of what you listed.

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
If I could only use 3 mods, I reckon I’d get away with:
MVP 19
Seasons
Autodrive
Between the DLCs and expansions, the base game with those 3 mods would keep me happy, although I would miss Precision Farming a fair bit.

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
Ah okay, might install it (or rather them as I think it's a group of 3-4 individual mods) and give them a try. I did read/hear that in addition to changing the units of measurements like you said (speed, weight etc) the mod also logs and displays the number of hectares (or whichever land unit you use) that each piece of equipment has worked, that's a real nice feature.Dairydeere wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 7:03 pmI honestly have not messed with crop densities since, as you mentioned, I use Fill Type Mass Adjustment, and that seems to do a pretty good job of making the weights more realistic.

Overall, it's good to see there are some common mods to a lot of us (i.e. Seasons) but also interesting to see which ones we use on a more individual level to make the game suit our own preferences.
Thanks for sharing everyone, have fun

@GrimHuffer and @Dairydeere -- where do you download Community Extension from? I've tried ThundR's page but get a server error on any of his links.

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
I had a similar problem. Not sure if I'm permitted to post direct links so instead look on YT for a video by Scroft with the title of Community Extension! - A Must Have Mod!!
If you click the Show More button to expand the video info there are links to One Drive where you can download (usual precautions and warnings about DL'ing files apply). You'll need all four of them to get all the features.
Not yet tested it, so let me know if you have fun.

Re: Top 3 mods you can't play without...
It is only on his discord and his discord is not open anymore at the moment again. Might be in kederks as well. Depending how long ago that link was, I don't think that's the updated version.

What Illinois Farmer said. Kederk got permission to release the download for Rocky Fields, but I'm not sure about Community Extension. If it's public, it'll be available in his videos
