FS25 Eifel Half Timbered Pack v1.0.3

Building package with farmhouse, shelter, barn with silo and bale storage, as well as a storage rack

Version 1.0.3.0
Fixed collision issues with all doors (They no longer “grow” or are otherwise deformed at game startup.)
Fixed warning regarding redundant ModDesc entry

Hello!
I’m making my building package available for download, which I originally started for myself because I was lacking the “real buildings.”
As you can see, the whole thing is built in the half-timbered style and intended as a semi-open, four-sided farmyard, which is quite typical of my old home, the Eifel region.
Despite its “rustic” look, I wanted the whole thing to offer the necessary space. So, while the building is quite winding, it still offers enough space for various medium-sized to possibly large machines, thus offering several storage options.

The entire property currently includes:
– Farmhouse with small barn
– Price: €140,000
– Category: Farmhouses
– Sleeper sofa and wardrobe
– Not(!) accessible (living space)
– Attached barn with two medium-sized sheds and a large driveway (e.g., for a combine harvester)
– Main entrance clearance: approx. 4 meters
– Large barn with grain silo
– Price: €95,000
– Category: Silos
– Capacity: 100,000L
– 1 large driveway with silo
– Large, open shed (either free for vehicles or similar, or suitable for the included bale storage)
– 2 medium-sized gates at the front
– 1 small driveway in the annex (e.g., for a header trailer)
– Small shed
– Price: €18,000
– Category: Halls
– 4 parking spaces up to approximately 5 meters high
– Storage rack
– Price: €1,400
– Category: Decorations
– Perfect for storing weights, front loader attachments, or even pallets (Note: No trigger is installed here!)
• Bale storage
– Price: €500
– Category: Silos
– Capacity: 450 bales
The buildings are also equipped with snow roofs.

Tip for placing the bale storage:
The bale storage has a water drain installed at the rear. This serves as a guide to position the bale storage flush and straight into the open area of the
large barn. If necessary, also use the “Free Placement” mode (B) to install the entire structure neatly.

Disclaimer:
– The package only includes the named buildings. Everything around it
is freely placed decoration from other mods or the base game! These screenshots are therefore merely for illustration purposes or as inspiration for your implementation.
– This is only my second public mod for the LS, and as a “vehicle builder,” these are the first buildings in general that I’ve built.
So please forgive me if there are a few minor glitches here and there.

Currently known bugs:
– The door sounds, despite being correctly assigned, sometimes only play when triggered (sound source). Again, if anyone knows a fix, please let me know. It only bothers me to a limited extent.
If a solution for these bugs is found, there will of course be an update. The log is error-free after multiple tests.
Best regards, and have fun if you like it.
