Is Farming Simulator Beginner Friendly?

Farming Simulator has a reputation of being realistic and detailed, however, it also has newcomer modes and options that can be used to make it easy to learn.

The game offers different options to work into the experience, whether you are completely new to farming, or new to simulation games.

Among the simplest ones is the selection of game modes depending on the level of skills and preferences of players.

1. New Farmer Mode

The New Farmer mode is perfect to start farming without a lot of set up for beginners. You start with a small, but still operational farm, with worn out fields, primitive equipment and simplified economy.

This allows to start right away and concentrate on learning the mechanics, and having fun with farming activities without being overwhelmed by financial or logistical complexities.

2. Farm Manager

In the “Farm Manager” mode, you will have an increased budget and lose the ready-made setting.

You start with nothing other than a blank piece of land and no equipment so you will have to buy your own machinery and design your farm layout.

This mode is less restrictive and more directive, and it will be good in instances where the player knows the basics or wants a medium challenge.

3. Seasonal Growth Options

The game has cycles of seasons that affect the growth of crops and planning is required. That may sound stressful to newcomers, but no worries as those settings can be changed or disabled altogether.

You can also disable seasonal growth, or weather effects to make the game easier and less challenging as you get used to the game.

4. Tailored Difficulty Settings

In farming simulator, the game can be modified to suit the gameplay by altering the difficulty level of the game, e.g., crop yield, economical realism, and traffic behavior.

This aids the novice to step up the difficulty gradually and adapt gameplay in a manner that is conducive and motivating to the learning process.

5. In-Game Tutorials

The game is also provided with tutorials and tool tips that help the new players learn the main things such as planting crops, fertilizing the ground, and selling the products.

These make you develop confidence and also help that first time farmers can have a smooth experience on simulation farming.

Game can be played on Ps4/Ps5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
