Just copy the downloaded ZIP file to "Documents/My Games/FarmingSilmulator2013/mods/", that's all.

do not unzip any mods, unless they are part of a larger pack.

have you checked the mod section of the store, flipping thru the various pages to see what is there?

Is the procedure for Mac pretty much the same?

Obviously they will be placed in a different location? Can someone tell me where they go please?

Cheers!

I had a similar problem with the forest mod. The placeables showed up, but none of the machinery. I tracked it down to one mod i'd added - "zzAntiModDiscrimination". What this mod does is combine all your default and imported mods together into one category, so you don't have two places to look for tractors for example when you hit P for purchase. Seemed like a good idea, except the forestry equipment has its own category, so the mod just ignored it. It's a long shot, but if you have that mod in your folder, take it out.
