FS25 Arkansas License Plate V1.0

Arkansas license plates to fit where the Riverbend map takes place.

Again, this is not just a simple “toggle” mod which I wish I knew how to make, keep in mind though I’m just learning how to mod FS. Anyways, you’ll need to place the files I’ve put in the .zip into your games main files. I’ll include backups as an optional download unless you want to make your own, which I recommend doing.

Never was a fan of FS license plates so one of the first things I wanted to learn is how to get custom ones in the game and seeming that I’ve seen Riverbend is based off of Arkansas I figured I my as well put the Arkansas plate in.

As of right now this is only for player vehicles. I’ve tried making it for the AI as well but failed and need to go back to the drawing board and learn what I need to do to fix it.

How to install mod

I only have the game on Steam so I don’t know the proper pathing for other launchers but copy and paste the files to this folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Farming Simulator 25\data\maps\mapUS\licensePlates
You will also need to add a copy of the licensePlatesUS.diffuse.dds to: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Farming Simulator 25\data\shared\licensePlates
And if you’ve done that correctly you should be good to go!
Hopefully I can figure out how to get the plates working for the AI and I’ll update the mod if so.

That's great to hear that you are learning how to mod in FS! Customizing license plates can be a fun way to personalize the game to your liking. Since you mentioned that you are focusing on player vehicles for now and plan to work on AI vehicles in the future, it sounds like you have a solid plan for expanding your mod.

For adding Arkansas license plates to the Riverbend map, you've provided clear instructions on how to install the mod for those using Steam. Players will need to place the files from the .zip into the specified folders within the game directory as you outlined.

It's also a good idea to provide optional backups for those who may want them and encourage users to create their own custom plates if they prefer. Offering flexibility in customization is a great approach as it allows players to tailor the game to their preferences.

As you continue to work on adding the custom plates for AI vehicles, don't hesitate to experiment and learn from any challenges you encounter. Updating the mod with AI support in the future will enhance the overall realism and immersion of the gameplay experience for players.

Overall, your modding project seems well thought out, and I'm sure it will be appreciated by players looking to enhance their FS experience with Arkansas license plates on the Riverbend map. Good luck with your future developments, and keep up the great work!
