Farming Simulator 25

People who don't play FS25 don't understand how enjoyable it is to harvest, plow etc your own fields. They don't get how you can lose a whole day in IRL to the game because it is so addictive, and just that good. There is just something so satisfying seeing your products from start to finish and profiting from that. They also, believe the game to be hard to learn but it is relatively easy and not complicated at all.

People who don't play farming simulator don't understand how fun it really can be and how addictive it can be. They think going up and down a field is boring yet that couldn't be further from the truth. You can easily loose hours playing farming simulator. There's so much to do, from crops to productions, animals to logging. Farming simulator is a big learning curve for new players but there's no right or wrong way and it's a fun game to learn.

People who don't play Farming Simulator often find the game to be very repetitive, that you create a farm by planting a certain type of crop and the progression of the game is just about planting larger areas and doing the same things over and over again. I wanted the progression of the game to be more broad for the audience and for people to have patience with the game.

My wife asks me some interesting questions about most simulators (powerwash simulator in particular), but this one, she really struggles to understand how harvesting crops in a tractor that's doing about 1mph is enjoyable and remotely fun. She just doesn't understand the satisfaction of those perfectly harvested fields!

Farming Simulator isn't just a simulator about farming. It's a simulator about a way of life that most people never have, and probably never will, experience. People see this game as driving up and down fields doing the same thing over and over... but when you play it, you realise farming is so much more than that. The long hours, the challenges, everything us real world farmers face, but in such a way that makes it fun to enjoy. And no other game matches that.

Love this, txbyy; it's as if games like this can be generators of empathy, giving people an insight into whole communities.

The part of the game that I love is the strategic aspect of the game, and the gratification you get when you take a "start from scratch" game save to being a multi-million dollar success. It allows for me to flex my strategic muscles while also enjoying the relaxing and enjoyable activity of farming that I have loved since I was a kid.

That building a farm require a lot of capital. Gaining a lot of capital requires a lot of patience and creativity. This game is very good at opening your eyes to what farmers have to do in real life. Here where i live a farmer has about 5 other jobs they do to keep the farm afloat. That's exactly what this game teaches too. You need money? Invest wisely.

I don't think many people understand that Farming Simulator goes far beyond being a "little farm game". The game is a learning process, where we develop our creativity, planning skills and patience. It's not the kind of game where there's a goal or victory at the end, it's a process to enjoy while you play, and each player will decide what their goal is. Some want to build their own organic farm, others want to manage a super industrial operation, and there are others who just want to relax and drive a tractor, feeling like a farmer haha

I like it a lot because I see this in real life, and the game brings out this essence of how to manage a farm, balance finances, deal with seasonality and optimize harvests. The game gives you a sense of peace when you see the results of your work. I think it's excellent for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the day. We get so involved with the game that each achievement, such as a new piece of equipment or the birth of an animal, brings a lot of joy!

They just don't get the pleasure of progress in the game with hard work and care. One of the things that I love in Farming Simulator is the possibility of start little and over time with all the work and attention to you farm you progress to become a great farmer!

One thing people who don't play Farming Simulator are missing is the relaxation that the fieldwork offers. It can be almost therapeutic in a way. Don't believe me? Try it.

It also gives people some opportunities to learn how a farm actually works. I have seen a lot of streamers who play this that have aha moments because of the game. It ends up being a teaching tool for some.

People often say "why would you play this? It's boring!" - a lot of people don't understand that a lot of the fun in Farming Simulator comes from the fact that it is a low stress video game. It is easy to have fun when you are relaxed and hanging out with your friends in multiplayer, or even working toward your own sandbox goal in single player.

I think one of the things people that do not play Farming Simulator do not get, is how relaxing yet satisfying this game can feel. Nothing better than after a long day coming home to a cold beverage and playing some farming simulator, building a farm that becomes an empire. Unlike other games I have played that just seem to add to post work frustration and stress, farming simulator calms the soul.

The people who don't play Farming Sim might just think that it's just plowing fields, repeat, repeat etc... but it's so much more than that, it can be growing spinach or rice, harvesting olives, buing cows, driving a forklift around the map with 4 pallets of seeds etc.

Something that people who don't play Farming Simulator do not get about Farming Simulator is that in the game there is no Win or Lose and that people usually relate the game with only driving around harvesting crops, when especially in FS22 and FS25 now with a lot of features (productions mostly) and new crops the game shows better how the farming in real life works and even explains what processes or to what places the crops or milk for example since my father is a Dairy Farmer goes before everybody could buy it in the supermarket or on your local farmer market.

The title of the game doesn’t mean what it says all the time. Between the community mods the competetive modes and the standard singleplayer/multiplayer gameplay there is something for anyone. You don’t have to sit and farm all the time, you can have animals, you can race, you can do forestry, you can play realisticly, you can buy insane equipment and do whatever you want. The ends are truly infinite but people get turned off by the name.

I think the great difficulty for people is to understand that a game can be your mental resting place, where you relax and disconnect from the outside world. I'm a real lover of this style of game, but the farming simulator still sparked an interest in a pleasure that seemed unimaginable to me, such as plants, agriculture, tractors and equipment in the field.

Many say that Sim Games are boring, but they need only to look close at this pretty little cuties in farming Simulator 25 :

People that dont play farming often think its a game for someone that dont know that you dont have to be a tryhard or good at it. But the fact is that you make it something you want. You have very many paths you can walk if it is just to have fun or be the greates its ony you that decide

People who don’t play Farming Simulator often underestimate just how deep and engaging the game truly is. To outsiders, it may seem like a slow-paced, niche game where you just drive tractors and harvest crops, but the reality is far richer. What they don't realize is the game captures the complexity and strategy of running a farm, from carefully managing finances, optimizing crop yields, and responding to changing market prices, to balancing the timing of each harvest season. It's not just about virtual farming; it's about planning, problem-solving, and creating a sense of accomplishment when you turn a struggling farm into a thriving business. The game rewards patience and long-term thinking, which are qualities often overlooked by those who assume it’s just about playing in the dirt.

The game is relaxing. Nothing better than cranking up Farming Simulator and doing a little fieldwork or animal husbandry at the end of a stressful day.

For me its the most realaxing time in my day to play farm sim at home with my friends or even singelplayer. In farming simulator 25 there are things ingame that you just cant put into words you just have to experience it yourself. So if you have a very little interest in farming then i recommend it to you 100%

Cant imagin the life without the farming sim, i have been playing farming sim since 2008.

How rewarding it is to maintain your own farm taking it in any number of directions that you please, from building small grain farms to large scale bakery businesses or an ever expanding animal empire the sky is the limit! Not to meantion how therapeutic it is jumping in the tractor and driving up and down the fields from sun up to sunset!

People don't understand the function of simulator games, specifically in farming simulator, people don't understand how good a game planting and managing a farm is! They don't understand how good the game is when you have free time to start a new crop, when your animals have a baby or when you buy that machine you've been saving money on for so long! They just don't understand...

People who don't play Farming Simulator don't understand that people who play Farming Simulator are not playing a game where you can "Win" or that there is an "End". The game is driven by the mind and imagination of the player, and no two game saves will ever be the same, even if played on the same map. There's always new content to enjoy thanks to the Modding Community, whether that be full blown maps or a single vehicle or piece of equipment. No matter how many hours you have in Farming Simulator you can always find and experience something new.

People who’ve never played Farming Simulator often assume it’s just about driving a John Deere across a field, planting and harvesting crops. But the game is actually an economic simulator, too. You earn money from your activities and make decisions on how to reinvest it to grow your business. While it may not be as complex as specialized economy games, it has all the essential elements. If you’re new to these concepts, you’ll gain valuable experience that can be useful for making real-life buying or investment decisions.

We play EVE Online. But maybe we should farm crops aswell as farming kills! I suppose this relates to miners too ;)

That the game teaches people without any connection to the farm life what we do, and why we are important players in the national and international market

Great answer. I take it you're a farmer, then - respect and welcome to Just About! How accurate do you find the games are as sims?

Farming, even though it is a video game, makes you understand how much effort is needed in this job, the difficulty in managing a farm and its problems, but above all it teaches that without agriculture there would be nothing
