FS25 License Plate Randomizer V1.0

Every vehicle you buy in Farming Simulator 25 rolls off the lot with the same default license plate. Buy three tractors, two trailers, and a harvester, and they all share an identical plate. This mod fixes that by automatically generating a realistic, region-appropriate plate when you open any vehicle in the shop. The plate you see is the plate you get when you hit “Buy.” You can still customize it before purchasing or change it later at a repair shop.
FEATURES:
– Generates unique, realistic plates based on real-world formats for the map’s country
– Applies to both the 3D shop preview and the plate widget
– Detects the map’s country automatically, no configuration needed
– Green agricultural plates on German maps (tractors get green, cars and trucks get black)
– Uses the map’s regional prefix automatically (e.g. “EF” for Erfurt, “ZLK” for Zielonka)
– Regional prefixes can be changed manually in plateConfig.xml
– Plates persist across sessions and multiplayer
DUPLICATE PLATE FINDER (Right Ctrl + Period):
Already have a fleet of vehicles with identical default plates? When you load a savegame, the mod automatically scans your farm and notifies you if any vehicles share the same plate. Press Right Ctrl + Period anywhere in the game to open the Duplicate Plate Finder. It lets you randomize them one by one or all at once.
SUPPORTED COUNTRIES (21):
Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Ireland.
On maps not recognized as one of these (e.g. US or Asian maps), the mod stays inactive.
PLEASE NOTE:
This mod controls the plate text (characters, format, regional accuracy). The plate’s visual appearance (background color, font, euroband) is determined by the map maker’s license plate template. If a map uses the correct template for its country, everything matches perfectly. If a map reuses a template from another country, you may see correct text on a mismatched background. This is a map-side limitation that no script mod can fix. For map makers, license plate prefab packs for many European countries are available on ModHub. This also applies to Germany’s green agricultural plates. A German map’s plate template may define only black text, or both black and green. On German maps without a green color defined, agricultural vehicles will show black text like regular plates.

This mod for Farming Simulator 25 sounds like a game-changer in terms of adding realism and personalization to the vehicles in the game. The automatic generation of unique, region-appropriate license plates for vehicles based on real-world formats adds a nice touch to the overall immersion. It's great to see that the mod detects the map's country automatically, making the process seamless for players without the need for manual configuration.

The feature of having green agricultural plates for vehicles on German maps adds another layer of authenticity, distinguishing between different vehicle types based on the plate color. The ability to manually change regional prefixes in the plateConfig.xml file allows for further customization, giving players flexibility in tailoring their plates to their liking.

The Duplicate Plate Finder functionality is also a clever addition, making it easy for players to identify and randomize duplicate plates in their vehicle fleet, ensuring a more realistic and varied collection of vehicles.

The support for a wide range of countries adds to the diversity and authenticity of the plates generated, catering to players from different regions and enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

The note about the visual appearance of the plates being determined by the map maker's template is important to understand, as it explains any potential mismatches between the plate text and background visuals. This limitation is a good point to keep in mind for players who may encounter such discrepancies.

Lastly, the requirement for this mod to be hosted only on the official GIANTS ModHub ensures proper distribution and adherence to guidelines, maintaining the integrity of the modding community.

Overall, this mod seems well-thought-out and thorough in its implementation, offering a realistic and personalized touch to the vehicle experience in Farming Simulator 25.
