Thinking of getting the Farming Simulator game for our youngest as an XMAS gift .
Not sure where, but he has seen an advertisement for it somewhere and has been bugging the heck out of us to get it for him as he is absolutely farm crazy.

Are Many people playing it and how do you like it ?
I presume there would not be any foul language used in it , correct ?
What age category would it be best suited for ?
Any comments on the pro's and con's of it , would be greatly appreciated.

We Tried downloading the demo onto house and shop computers but the demo did not seem to work properly , screen resolution was way out of wack or something , could only see part of titles etc . I am no computer genius by any means , so it was probably my lack of computer gaming experience causing most of the issues.

If we go with it , it will be the XBOX version that way our computers are still available to me occasionally .

I have been looking around target and walmart for the game and it seems to me that the game is only available as a download for the XBOX but there is still a lot of equipment that is on the original game. There is a lot of deutz fahr equipment and a lot of case ih stuff, such as the 600 quadtrac and 9230 combine. I think it is like $30 for the XBOX version.

While I can only speak for the computer version I will provide my opinion on it.

I've been playing Farming Simulator since Farming Simulator 2009. I now also own 11 and 13. Definitely recommend 13 with the Titanium add-on pack. (Not sure if they are packaged together yet or not). I bought mine from my local Walmart but you can just purchase and download it online using Steam.

If you can find a good crew of people the multiplayer side of the game is AWESOME. We once had 4 Case combines, 2 grain carts, and a semi driver all together at once. That was a complete blast.

There is no foul language used and to me this game is great for people of all ages as long as they can understand the basics of farming.

For mods (John Deere equipment, Case equipment, combines, semis, etc.) there is a whole pile of them for the computer version. Even different maps, pig add-ons, sunflowers, carrots, etc., the list goes on. But I'm not sure mods are supported in the XBOX version. A new map is nice to have after playing the game for many many hours.

Like I said I've only played the PC version so I can not say what options are available on XBOX (multiplayer, mods, etc.)

I find it to be a lot of fun. I'm not sure how the mods would work on the XBOX as it's probably programmed for the computer however I don't think that's really important as there is lots of equipment to chose from in the game already and some of the mods don't work that great either.

Just did the titanium edition thanks no to you guys lol. Where else are you guys getting mods from what websites? It's pretty sweet what they did on that edition would like to see some more of your seeding type units with a pull type tank some bigger planters and cultivators make it much better!

With mods just be aware that not all will work correctly. I've spent some time downloading and then deleting mods since they didn't work correctly.

The short answer is no. Some mods you are able to successfully convert from 11 to 13. You might be able to find somebody to convert it for you on one of the Farming Simulator mod forums.

How is 13 compared to 11? I have 11 and really like it but I'm not sure if it's worth it to dive into 13 or not. I only have another 6 months to play till I'm out on harvest for 6 months then back home and busy or else I'd probably get it.
It's been awhile since I've played 11 so I'll just provide you with a link that discusses it.

Farming Sim 2011 or 2013 :: Farming Simulator 2013 General Discussions

I can't remember too well but 13 now has cows, sheep, chickens, and a BGA. Also some different equipment and a new map as well. Fields must be purchased before you can plant crops or do anything to them. There is also the addition of potatoes and sugar beets without using any mods.

Have both 2011 and 2013, both are really good games, I like 2013 better than 2011. With each game they seem to be getting a little better, makes me think what 2015 will be like, but that an another thread all together I guess. I have some posts on a previous thread in the claas forum section were I listed several good sites for farming sim mods.

Some pics from my current game I have been playing on, it is a really addictive game, now if they can give me some larger american style planters, discs and cultivators everything would be perfect :D (although I do enjoy the European equipment as well).

Just to show those of you the power of mods... (Yes, I am a Case IH guy)

Kinze 1050 Row Crop Duals
Kinze 1050 Tracks
J&M 650 Wagon
Case IH 500 Duals
Case IH 500 Rowtrac
Case IH 500T w/Anhydrous Tank
Case IH 24 Row Planter
Peterbilt 379 Day Cab
Merritt Hopper Trailer
F350 Extended Cab
Fuel/Service Trailer

The combines and 2 tractors with the Row Crop Kinze and J&M Wagons are part of the Titanium add-on pack. Also the 600 Quadtrac that I posted above.

Give me awhile and I could do the same thing with mods just with JD equipment. There is also many different maps and other brands of equipment that people have modded for the game.

I gotta say, the graphics in that game are so good, it's like looking at a real picture! As for your questions, Farming Simulator has quite a large player base and it's enjoyed by many. It's a family-friendly game, so you don't have to worry about foul language.

As a kid, I used to be obsessed with playing the Farming Simulator game. I would spend hours on end cultivating crops, tending to livestock, and managing every aspect of my virtual farm. It was thrilling to see my hard work pay off as I expanded my operations and became a successful farmer in the digital realm. However, as I grew older, my interests shifted and now I find myself drawn to the excitement and thrill of online gambling. Pokie Surf website has become my new gaming addiction as it offers a wide range of casino games that keep me entertained for hours. Whether it's trying my luck on the slot machines or testing my skills at poker, Pokie Surf Casino never fails to provide an adrenaline rush. Although these two games are vastly different from each other, they both bring joy and entertainment into my life - just in different ways!
