How to become a modder

[Joedizzey]

Hi I want make mods for fs22 can someone tell me what software I will need and can I do it on a laptop?

[Tommy93]

I would suggest watching Farmerbob on YouTube. You can find software/tutorials and everything you need on Giants Developer Network: https://gdn.giants-software.com/

A: You can get all the software free. (Giants Editor, Notepad++, paint.net, Blender, etc)
A: There is no reason you couldn't do it on a laptop.

What sort of mods are you looking to make?

Asking on how to become a modder, is generic. Is the same as asking to become a doctor. What kind of doctor you want to be? Cardiologist? Dentist? Pediatrician? Surgeon?

What kind of modder you want to be? Just converting game's mods, for example, better capacity, more power, various colours? 3D modder for example using Blender and create various graphics , for example sheds, storage rooms etc?
Be a map modder by editing map's i3d using Giants Editor?
Scripting modder by using .lua programming language editing scripts for the game?

First of all you will have to decide what kind of modder you will want to be, and then according of your needs you will see if you can do it on laptop or you will need a powerful desktop.

I wish you all the best and I look forward for your mods.

Happy Farming

You’ve a lot to learn to get to that stage, your best bet is to start with something small and static using blender before even thinking of making something with animated parts, Im not saying you’ll never be able to do it and I don’t want to put you off but modding is difficult and a lot of stuff to learn, so crawl before you walk

You can refer to the Giants Editor tool. It helps you create and edit maps, place objects, and customize various aspects of the game.
