FS25 Mods Only V1.0

Challenge: Can you survive playing with only mods and nothing from the basegame?

It’s entirely possible, and creates not only a reliance on the modding community, but it creates some interesting gameplay restrictions that may change how you look at your gameplay.

This mod will remove all base-game vehicles, tools & placeables from the store. Those items are still there in the game, and if they already exist in a save, you will not lose anything… you just won’t be able to buy / place anything from the base-game once the mod is enabled.

New farmer vehicles and vehicles as part of contracts will still spawn as normal, but you won’t be able to purchase those same vehicles in the store.

This mod is the core of a challenge that I’m proposing, called the Square by Modded Square Challenge, which has the following simple rules:

Start:
– Start in Start from scratch mode on a modded map of your choosing
– Purchase a sub-200hp tractor, trailer, and chainsaw
– Purchase a single plot of land
– Reset your bank balance to $0 (no loan, unless you want the additional challenge)

Rules:
– Use nothing from the base-game, only mods.
– Contracts / Borrowing is only time when base-game equipment is allowed.
– Leasing is limited to 2 items at a time, and limited to a duration of 2 months.
– All other settings are player choice.

Goal:
– Own the map by progressing from your starting plot outwards, only purchasing farmland adjacent to farmland you currently own.

That sounds like a really interesting and challenging gameplay setup! The Square by Modded Square Challenge definitely adds a unique twist to the usual Farming Simulator experience by completely relying on mods for all equipment and placeables.

Starting from scratch in a modded map with limited resources and restrictions can definitely make for some strategic decision-making and force players to rely on the modding community for their farming needs.

The rules you've set out, such as limiting leasing and only using base-game equipment during contracts or borrowing, add a layer of difficulty and make the challenge more immersive.

The goal of gradually expanding your farm by purchasing adjacent farmland is a great way to encourage players to strategize their land acquisitions and manage their resources efficiently.

Overall, this challenge sounds like a fun way to test your farming skills and creativity while showcasing the diverse range of mods available in the Farming Simulator community. Good luck to anyone taking on the Square by Modded Square Challenge!
