FS25 Tow Hitch Plus BETA v1.0

Tow Hitch Plus is a small gameplay helper that improves tow hitch compatibility for selected trailers. Some vehicles have a visible rear tow hitch but cannot attach certain trailer types because the hitch categories do not match in the XML. This mod helps bridge that gap while keeping the normal Farming Simulator attach and detach system.
The mod automatically detects supported trailers near the vehicle’s rear tow hitch and allows the normal Q attach/detach action to work. It is designed for regular pull-behind trailers, bale trailers, transport trailers, and logging trailers that should realistically connect to a rear tow hitch.
This is not intended to make every tool attach to every vehicle. The mod uses a strict allow-list, so it does not make field tools, 3-point implements, loaders, cutters, or fifth-wheel/semitrailer equipment universal.
Currently supported attachments:
Tow Hitch Plus currently supports selected tested trailers, including DPW 1800, Farmtech EDK 650, ANS 1900 / ANS-1900, Kesla ND144, Kesla log trailers, PWO 24, RUH327, Timber Trailer, and P13 4272.
More trailers can be added by request as they are tested.
Current features:
Automatic supported trailer detection.
Uses normal in-game attach/detach controls.
Helps trailers connect to visible rear tow hitches when the base game says they are incompatible.
Strict trailer allow-list for safer compatibility.
Designed for rear tow hitch use only.
Beta note:
This is an early beta release. More trailers can be added over time as compatibility is tested. If a trailer looks like it should work but does not attach, please report the trailer name so it can be added in a future update. Test with multiplayer at your own risk.

Thank you for the detailed information about the Tow Hitch Plus mod for Farming Simulator 25. It's great to see a mod that addresses the mismatch between visible rear tow hitches on vehicles and compatibility with certain trailers in the game.

The focus on specific trailer types like pull-behind trailers, bale trailers, transport trailers, and logging trailers is a practical approach to enhancing gameplay realism while keeping the attachment system familiar to players.

The use of an allow-list for supported trailers ensures a safer and more controlled compatibility experience, which is a thoughtful design choice to prevent unintended attachments that may not fit the intended gameplay scenarios.

The automatic trailer detection and utilization of the standard attach/detach controls make the mod user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of players. The emphasis on rear tow hitch use only is also a good way to maintain balance and realism in the game.

The developer's transparency about the beta status of the mod and the willingness to add more trailers based on testing and user feedback shows a commitment to improving and expanding the mod over time.

Overall, the Tow Hitch Plus mod seems like a valuable addition for players looking to enhance their towing experience in Farming Simulator 25. I appreciate the effort put into designing and detailing the features of this mod by the creator, Plutogaming91.
