My TOP TEN Best Maps on FARMING SIMULATOR 22

[@Scroft]

Some brilliant maps there bud. FS22 has created some good times for all of us. Just goes to show how much we need modders.... Here's to FS25 👍🙂

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hey Scroft! Oh it really has mate, and on certain maps you’re responsible for some of those great memories! Calmsden, for me, just goes hand in hand with the Farm Hand. Those early days with your red Clio, the Leyland, living out the caravan…just wonderful :) Completely agree though mate, this game is what it is because of modders! I’ve said this many times but we’re a lucky bunch that’s for sure!

[@DancerOfClouds]

I watched all of this wonderful top 10 list and you had some wonderful maps, a lot that I haven’t played. Thinking when you reached number one, that Calmsden didn’t make it. Then I seen a couple of buildings that I recognized. Awwww Calmsden Farm!!! I have played 1000’s of hours on this map. Having at least three different game plays. Thank you so much for all the wonderful thinks you said about this map. This my all time favorite map. I have played on a bunch, but there is always an active game on Calmsden. Thank you!!!!

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thanks Dancer! Glad you enjoyed the video mate and that I was able to introduce you to a couple you haven't played before! Oh yeh Calmsden, I'm sure a lot of us feel the same way about that map. Just perfect! :)

[@julianf.modding9332]

Hi, thanks for including my map in the video :) Really appreciate!

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hi Julian! You’re very welcome mate, it really is a wonderful map! Spent so much time on there! Real pleasure to hear from you mate! :)

[@markpaterson6024]

Very nice, we are very fortunate that the developers saw fit to make the platform open ended for modders and content creators to add to it. I was surprised that Loma didn’t get on the list. It’s my current map that I just can’t get away from, big views, long roads, big fields and the atmosphere with those long drawn out sun sets always makes me stop what I’m doing to watch. Actually a top ten might have restricted you a little, do another with “Other maps worth a mention” video mate. The creators deserve some recognition I think.

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thanks Mark! You're absolutely right mate. The game would be an entirely different animal without mods! I know, it truly was a long, drawn out process picking out ten of my favourite. If I was to do a 15 or 20 best maps Loma would definitely be in there. Part of my selection was going back over maps I'd spent a long time playing in the past, ones that kind of meant a lot to me, such as Calmsden & Green Valley :) I completely agree with you though buddy, all map makers/creators deserve huge amounts of recognition :)

[@Garrison-S]

I love farming simulator and have owned and played them all since fs15 but honestly the modders are just as much a part of farming simulator as the developers without the modders I truly don't think the game would've gained the popularity that it's has as much as I like it I don't think I would play like I do without the modding community hats off to all the modders out there you guys took a good game and made it amazing literally have thousands of hours into farming simulator and thanks to you streamers as well for helping spread the word and the mods enjoy watching your content

[@Cristi-Neagu019]

Thumbs up for mentioning Scroft and Farm Hand alongside Court Farms and Calmsden.

[@Farmer-Sim]

Haha it’s literally the first thing I think about when I go to both of those maps. Even now, 70 odd episodes into my own series on CF, first thing to go through my head…Scroft, Beanie and George :)

[@Cristi-Neagu019]

@@Farmer-Sim yeah, we're well into it... He and Bea are doing an awesome job.

[@per-olofadolfsson4874]

I play 7/10 of the maps shown in this video. I agree to all, but I am a bit sceptic to Holmåkra. That wasn't my thing, I guess. Good video. And now I am looking forward to FS25 even more. :)

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Yeh I can completely understand where your coming from, forestry maps aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Holmakra means a lot to me though just because of my series and the time I spent there :)

[@justkris6461]

Pallagney is a great french map. It has everything, lots of crops, nice fields, beautiful farm. Love that one

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Aah yes Pallegney is a beauty, and had I played it more it may well have made it into this list. There’s soooo many wonderful maps out there, but for me compiling this list, it was only ones I’d spent a good amount of time playing, ones that kind of meant a lot to me, if that makes sense :)

[@TheJhndarwin]

Thank you. Superb

[@Farmer-Sim]

You're very welcome mate, and thankyou :)

[@BabyJesus440]

I'm always going back to Calmsden Farm. Plus on PC you can add a Hi-res texture and a branding pack, I still have those files hiding in my storage somewhere. As American maps go, Edgewater is the best for me because it introduced swathing harvesting not only on PC but on console, and now standard for FS25

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Oh Calmsden’s such a great map isn’t it! So many great memories from playing on it, and from Scrofts series too. And yeh Edgewater’s pretty special too I completely agree. If I had a top three American maps, Edgewater would be one of them, guaranteed! :)

[@Chris_Restall]

1~>Calmsden Farm, 2~>Court Farm Oxygen David, 3~>Carpathian Countryside Mr.Hector, 4~>Pallegney MA7 Studios and 5~>Karhuvaara INF Modding… I play on Console and these are my Top 5 Picks for Best maps of FS22… It’s all about Feel and the Details for me… ✌️🎄🚜🍁

[@Farmer-Sim]

@@Chris_Restall yeh totally with you there mate, feel and detail are two vital ingredients for a perfect map! :)

[@kimera3083]

Calmsden, Edgewater, and TVO. Definitely among my top maps as well!

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hey K! Glad you’re with me there mate! 3 of the finest if you ask me! :)

[@dallaspointon6212]

Court Farms is my favourite followed by calmsden, Edgewater and vintage oaks.

[@Farmer-Sim]

A great selection there mate! Some of the best! :)

[@joelg8004]

Good picks!

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thanks Joel! :)

[@raithrover1976]

Calmsden Farm is my absolute favourite. It's a map that perfectly suits the way i like to play FS and provided a beautiful environment to spend some time in. My only criticism is not being able to remove certain fences and gates. I like to convert the pig pasture into a grass field and it would be nice not to have a femce separating it from the neighbouring grass pasture.

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Yes it really is one of the best! If you’re on PC, you could try the map objects hider mod to remove parts you don’t want to be there? :)

[@warframehd1012]

Brilliant vid

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thanks Warframe! Glad you enjoyed it buddy! :)

[@CMoDZ3D]

Richlands was nice but the modder gave 0 Fs for us and didn’t fix the issues.

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Sorry you've had that experience with Richlands! With this game being as complex as it is, with literally 1000's of mods available, almost all issues can be whittled down to one or two mods causing a problem. Even just having it in your mod folder, inactive in a game can cause issues. Knowing how much time goes in to creating a map/mod, I don't think we can say the modder doesn't care.

[@StimulationSimulated]

excellent video .. i was struggling for a new map now i cant decide

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thankyou mate! You were struggling for a new map, and now after watching my video, you’re still struggling for a new map hahaha! Yeh there’s so many amazing maps to choose from isn’t there, you can be spoilt for choice! :)

[@StimulationSimulated]

@@Farmer-Sim cant wait to see what comes for fs25

[@Farmer-Sim]

@@StimulationSimulated Likewise mate! :)

[@airrunner85]

If i wanted to get into farming sim - would you recommend going for the 22 version over the 25 version? I have heard mixed opinions about the latest version. Thanks :)

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! In my honest opinion, knowing that FS22 was similar to FS25 immediately after it's release (couple of bugs etc) I would go for FS25. All day long. FS22 is the amazing game it is primarily because of the wealth of mods that are now available for it. And that happens over time. FS25 as a base game, is much better than FS22 as a base game (in my opinion), better graphics, details, general quality etc and in due course when more mods start being released for FS25 it is going to be an incredible game. So if I were in your position mate, I'd buy FS25 and get familiar with the game and it's mechanics, then as you get more into it, the mods will have started flowing giving it a deeper, richer playing experience. Apologies for the long reply, I didn't feel there was a 'quick' answer to that as I felt it needed at least a brief explanation. :)

[@airrunner85]

@@Farmer-Sim Thank you for the detailed response! This really helps with my decision. I'll take your advice and go with FS25 to learn the mechanics while the mod community grows. Looking forward to getting started! 🚜

[@Farmer-Sim]

@ you’re very welcome mate! If someone asks me for advice on how to spend their money I feel a response deserves more than a one/two word answer haha! :)

[@airrunner85]

@@Farmer-Sim Thanks for taking the time to give thoughtful responses! Really appreciate you caring about giving proper advice to the community. Looking forward to checking out your other farming sim content! :)

[@GK.farming]

Still remembering those Holmakra Days, yeah

Hey GK! Been a long time buddy hope you’re well! You and me both mate, really enjoyed that map and series! Great times! :)

[@GK.farming]

@@Farmer-Sim yeah, I'm fine. Gave that KZbin Thing another try - but failed again. It's such a time eater... Focussed to telling Stories at Instagram now

[@Kruger1171]

I would love to pick your brain on how you setup an autodrive system/courseplay on the mining part of elk mountain

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Kinda straight forward really, the only vehicle I was operating was a big digger at the bottom of the mine, so I set up a loop course for dumper trucks to come down the hill to the bottom, wait for me to load it up, then back up the hill to the dirt processor (I think that's what it's called?) where they would reverse up to the tip point, tip, then back down the hill to repeat the process :)

[@benclarke8840]

Great map choices although now I would say gateshead farm should be there it's a fantastic map

[@Farmer-Sim]

Thanks Ben! Yeh it is a great map that’s for sure! :)

[@sixstrings2]

UMRV and Hof Bergman are my favorites

[@Farmer-Sim]

Two great maps there mate! There really is so many incredible maps to enjoy on FS22! :)

[@darrensafezone]

if they did radio stations be fun telling you the weather and news like gta5

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hey Darren! Yeh that really would be a great bit of immersive detail thats for sure! :)

[@yukowl]

Im new to FS22 and some of these maps are not ingame to DL, where do I go?

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! If you check in the video description you'll find a link to every map featured in this video. Some modders will upload their maps to the GIANTS Modhub, whereas some prefer to release them via their own websites or pages such as Facebook or Itch.io :)

[@yukowl]

@@Farmer-Sim Doh sorry :)

[@Farmer-Sim]

@@yukowl No need to apologise at all mate, always happy to help :)

[@javicolt]

Interesting all the maps, I would propose you to try the Taheton County map, good American map x4 by DR_Modding I previously played on the Elk Mountain map

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hello mate! Way ahead of you there buddy, I did a series on there not too long ago, corker of a map! :)

[@javicolt]

@@Farmer-Sim sorry, I discovered the map this summer, because it is a map cork? I've also tried UMRV and it's okay too, have you played it? :)

[@Farmer-Sim]

@@javicolt no apology needed buddy! Haha yeh the term ‘corker’ just means it’s great :) Yeh I’ve played a bit on UMRV it is a really great map too! Loved the active traffic signals on that one, a really clever touch :)

[@Farmhand-Booker]

And you only have unto the end of the year mate, as of the end of 2024 mods for FS22 will be either not supported or discontinued to make way for FS25.

[@Farmhand-Booker]

Mate you should checkout out Red River Manitoba map by Camil Canuck. Very very big map (maybe just a bit too big)

[@Farmer-Sim]

Hey Booker! Aah yes I’ve had that one for a while. A cracking whopper of a map! This list could’ve had 100 maps in as there’s so many beauties, but had to stick to the ones I’d spent the most time on :)

[@RipsysGaming]

I downloaded the Elk mountain map, placed it in my mods folder, but it doesn't show, when i start a new game :(

[@Farmer-Sim]

@@RipsysGaming hello mate! Sorry to hear your having issues with Elk Mountain. Might be worth checking that the zip file you’ve downloaded isn’t a zip file for other zip files. Unzip it and it may contain the actual map and Elk Mountains other building packs. Going off a distant memory that’s what I remember EMM doing once or twice :)

[@RipsysGaming]

@@Farmer-Sim Hey bud. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I checked the file, wasn't a unzip. But it's oke, Got the other's from your video. Love the Edgewater, Sakathewan map, so will be stuck in there for the rest of this year. I hope you'll have a great day and alot of joy, making these video's.
