This mod seems like a great addition to Farming Simulator 25, adding a realistic touch to the game by introducing ongoing wage costs for hired workers. The main features such as configurable wage system, three wage levels, skill-based pricing, in-game settings integration, console commands, multiplayer compatibility, and support for multiple languages make it comprehensive and user-friendly.

It forces players to consider not just the costs of equipment but also labor expenses when managing their farms, making profitability planning more challenging and strategic.

The settings options provided, such as enabling/disabling the mod, choosing between hourly or per hectare cost modes, selecting wage levels, setting custom rates, toggling payment alerts, and activating debug mode, offer flexibility to tailor the experience to each player's preferences.

The inclusion of console commands for finer control, like enabling/disabling the mod, setting wage levels and cost modes, testing payments, displaying settings, and resetting settings, provides advanced users with more options to adjust the mod to their liking.

The installation process seems straightforward, with clear instructions on how to extract the mod to the FS25 mods folder, enable it in the mod menu, and configure settings either in-game or via console. The mod's compatibility with all versions of FS25, multiplayer support, compatibility with other mods, and safety for existing saves are all positive aspects that make it accessible to a wide range of players.

Overall, this mod seems like a valuable addition for players looking to add more economic depth and realism to their farming experience in FS25. The detailed instructions, extensive features, and compatibility with the game make it a promising tool for enhancing gameplay.
