Why Mods Don't Come to ModHub 

Thank you for your view on this topic. The brand situation, such as no Ford or Chevy is only from "console/crossplay" mods. Any PC Only mods are free to use unlicensed brands. Inconsistencies are sadly something that will always be an issue; however feedback is taken and there's always ways to improve. Ways to do this outside of a video essay, is to contact the modhub team through the messenger, this way the team heads can notice those inconsistencies and communicate it. If one does not contact the team and just fixes the issues "again" or just leaves frustrated, no one knows about it. There are actually many things that is being fixed or "looked over" by the modhub team manually on each mod. Minor things will never cause a mod to go back if it's not taking hours to fix; hence why mods may process a few days slower if there are a lot of mods with few minor things that they change internally. I would love to go into more details each point you had in the video, but i feel like this comment has already gotten longer than intended. Feel free to comment below, be it rooster or an interested mod consumer, if there is any feedback that has not been covered by the video or just interested to voice an opinion. Any constructive feedback is welcomed, be it good or bad. In the end everyone involved is human so there's someone at the end that will understand you.

To all the Modders, Thank you for doing what you do and bringing your mods to us console players. You don’t have to go through all the extra troubles but you do and a lot of fantastic mods it’s just a shame we have only roughly 8gb of space between maps and mods. It’s a rough balancing act for me

Outstanding video Rooster, and brilliantly put about the testing process. Great stuff, I’ll be sharing this!

As someone who is relatively new to the modding community, the lack of documentation drives me nuts! Plus the subscription and paid tools to make high-quality mods is just a barrier I can’t afford right now. I still try my best with my limited knowledge and tools, but it hurts knowing I’m being held back by things I don’t know and groups like GIANTS don’t have documentation about. I’m glad members of the community such as yourself are such big helps to new modders like me!

Yes Thank you Modder's . And thank you Rooster for explaining the difficult and steep learning curve of ALL the things work.

Inconsistent testing drives me crazy!

You nailed it buddy. Been down that road with GIANTS. The documentation on the modding process from GIANTS is poorly done. A documentation dump from a generated export tool does not qualify as documentation. Maybe if that code was commented, but it leaves modders to reverse engineer for most tasks. For a game that literally lives on mods, it’s sorta amazing.

That was an excellent video and deserves to be widely circulated in the FS community. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

I'm not a Modder, but wanted to say to all the modders, thank you, thank you, thank you. Some people doesn't understand what goes into mods and the requirements. All I can say @Rooster Mods, well said, well said.

Great video, thankyou for putting this information out there! And thankyou too for doing it in a calm way that isn't just taking shots at GIANTS, I know it's a passionate topic for all involved so I really appreciate your delivery here. Top stuff!

Great video! This is a great reminder that it's a small miracle we have as many quality modders for the game as we do!

I appreciate all the work modders like yourself do in Farming Simulator. Thanks for providing insight on all the hurdles you have to clear for Modhub. I'm a Patron of a few modding groups and they've hinted at the iterative process they go through prior to release. Also, when I worked at a game studio 7 years ago, we switched to Substance so we wouldn't have to furnish Photoshop licenses. It is no wonder Adobe acquired them since I departed the games industry.

Thank you for sharing! Most of this I pretty much suspected or knew, but I love they way you put it. Very understandable and clear. Modding is very difficult and something I am not able to do, so I have mich respect for modders. Again, thanks for sharing. Hope you're having a great day!

Very well said! Thanks for sharing your views on this topic. As a new modder myself it took a long time to learn the steps and it was really stressful getting the first few mods on the mod hub.

even though we don't get alot of mods that we want in the game i still would like to thank the modders for what they have done and continue doing

Great video Rooster. As a gamer I will never understand the issues a modder goes through to bring mods that enhance the gameplay. How ever I do appreciate the efforts of all the modders.

Thank you for explaining it. Always wondered why theres so many mods that aren't for modhub, but is already a licensed brand, not a script etc but now i see how hard and probably annoying it is

Rooster, thank you for taking the time to do a video like this. Hopefully others will find it as informative and helpful as I did. I would like to add a HUGE thank you to the modding community. Without modded maps, equipment, and mechanics I would have already moved on and been playing something other than FS. Giants (whether they realize it or not) also owe you and all the other modders out there a huge thank you.

Thank you for making this video. Many console players don't realize just how much time and effort goes into making mods and maps

Thank you for the shedding some light on this topic Rooster. You really do excellent work and I thank you for what you do.

As a big admirer of the Modders and their relentless effort in making games so much more enjoyable this was very informative. Thank you for your video and not the least your contributions to Farming simulator! ❤

And this is why I bought a pc. Never regretted it

Just saw your new tillage mod you’re working and this video showed me just how much work can go big and small mods i have way more respect now for people who mod in general

This has opened my eyes even more to what you guys do. I only commented the other day the level of detail in FS 22 and all the mods is second to non. I will spend a lot of time checking a mod out when I download it for the first time and it blows me away with the level of detail in each one and the animation. Most of the detail would go un-noticed if you didn't look for it. The only thing that puts a tinge on this game for me is the Micro stutter but I have learned myself to almost not see it, but it does take the edge off off it. Thank you for doing what you do, it is much appreciated.

Darn I knew it was hard but now I know it's harder than I thought

Firstly i want to say that you made a great video explaining all clearly Rooster Mods! Second, as a modder my self i can relate in most of the stuff you said in the video and Thirdly, thanks for all the modders for doing hard work for us to enjoy playing in-game!

Thanks for that informative video, good of you to spare the time and share an explanation about moders and mod production. I didn’t realise how much effort and knowledge it took to produce a mod 👍

Fantastic video! Inconsistencies in testing can be very frustrating. But it does seem if you open a ticket and have a conversation, they are very open to help find a solution if something seems very off.

Great video, well put across, and super respectful. Keep up the great work Rooster 💚👍

#4 to Giants - up to date documentation, policies, and standards.

Well said rooster mods thank you so much for what you and all the mods do for us all keep up your amazing work thank you from Marc in the uk

Nice insight into the modding process 👍

1st off I love your mods rooster and thank you for making this an providing a look "behind the curtain" because there's lots of people who don't understand this stuff and unfortunately it's some people like that who caused lancyboi to leave... I appreciate all the work work modders put into the game if it wasn't for them the game wouldn't be the way it is today

Great video I appreciate all you guys I don’t have time for pc and console is very easy and quick so I really appreciate all you modders

Thank you for putting this video out

I’m a ps4 player and all I want is a 806 mod for ps4 as it was the first tractor I’ve ever worked on and I have over 1000 hours on one and I respect the effort that mod makers give I just want to say thank you

6:46 I gave up on modhub when a small mod I submitted failed testing due to texture and model problems. The mod used all Giants assets. It's a complete joke Excellent video!

Very informative and well done vid, very thoughtfully stated! 👍

You also need patience, especially if you are an NA modder and have to deal with QA testing's favouritism and downright inconsistent testing.

Thank you for explaining about the mods

Great video and thank you to all modders. The game would be unplayable if not for mods imo

Thank you for making this video because as I'm starting to realize I'm way over my head as I've been only dabbling and blender and that is a very hard program to try to figure out especially if you have a learning disability but can do normal things. And I only want to make simple mods that everyone can use, it looks like I have to get a few more programs and rules and regulations from Giants. And to think this all started because a modder getting me mad, won't go into story and told me to learn how to mod. So I will and did. FYI I don't dislike modders except for one and I actually enjoy mods on this game and Snow runner. I'm very grateful that there are a bunch of people out there with great amount of skill to make mods for games no matter what platform somewhat, that take their time out of their busy day to make them Even though sometimes it is for a hobby. 👍

I am going to link this on Steam and Reddit if that is okay, it is such a calm and understandable explination.

this is an amazing video. everybody in the farming simulator community should watch this, and keep watching it until they understand the amount of work that goes into a mod! Thank you for making this video.😃🤯 But... to call GIANTS professionals is a bit of a stretch, 😉if they haven't aligned the demands for at mod, and each tester can dictate their own wants and needs for a mod, then they aren't very professional in my opinion. 😆

Great video!,

I’m just wondering if we could put hay in the Parker wagon 2500

Thanks man

I never ask lol if it it's gonna be on console then one day it will show up in modhub if not oh well lol good video and folks definitely need to watch. I knew modding wasn't easy but wow definitely makes me appreciate yawl even more so thank you 🤟🏻

You can always open a ticket in modhub if a second tester moans about something they told you to change before, thats something a lot of modders don't know or do.

If not modhub, what website would YOU recommend for getting mods ?

Man I can't find the fendt trisix on console or a 4 axle samson slurry spreader

Software development standards, specifically Quality Assurance, have been evident in that industry for decades, spanning back to when ITIL and other frameworks were made standard through certification, etc. The ModHub experience you describe is a testament to the kind of people Giants employs and how they govern themselves to ignore guiding principles and their monopoly product - it's their own Reich ruled by fat lazy dictators. Everyone else is in the wrong, for they can do none. It's easy to understand why the FS series moved to other platforms to gain market reach, but console players don't seem to have the DNA to understand how much of a square-peg-round-hole approach this title is to their platform. "Sorry for your disappointment on only 8GB limitations" said no one ever.

Can you do a series on that save game

I knew giants were a pain to upload mods for both pc an console I didn’t realize it was that big of a pain. I myself want to dabble in modding an add couple of things to the modhub. For both platforms, After seeing this I’m having second thoughts.

The main reason I think uploading to modhub is not worth it , is that if I'm making a map I can use some lua scripting to make things a little more interesting , while if I want to upload it to modhub I need to take these lua from the map and make them a separate mod and go thru all the testing for that only lua script and after that they will start looking at my map.

Well said Rooster 🐓 👏

Can I watch this video on a console ???

Giants drive me insane. The modding community is literally the only thing keeping the game alive at this point in my opinion.

New to your channel

hello little question would you still do some mods on the mod hub or not and about what types of mods if not your mods on the mod hub are awesome

what is that stalk chopper mod? also could you make me jd 2440 mod?

Will this video be on console?

It actually surprises me more that people put in all this work for no monetary gain, then people asking if it’s coming to console. I’m being serious, what is the point of creating mods for nothing or next to nothing? I guess people have a lot of free time on their hands, I mean A LOT😂

Can u make mod imt 533 for console

Thanks for the info, I’m liking the Xbox version less, can’t afford a PC, guess they’ll lose me, hazard lights should be simple yet they never introduce it in Xbox series……frustrating 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

I'm waiting for the JD 5020

I might buy a PC. My Xbox just got fried in a power surge. But console is just easier to navigate for me.

Map?

And you also forgot that Giants hate US moders

I'll stick to editing xml's and I3d's

I already know why, they have to pass 2 steps and and branding non fs stuff to lizard

ok. but does is compatible with console ?

Is this coming to console??

I subscribe to you

Again, and again, and again 😂😂

When will console get American warehouses that we can draw for cliffs into American trailers and back out of them and let them in the way that you do on PC or the warehouse is there on consoles for European stuff when do we get American warehouses to role-play with

I personally understand and personally think that the console community is very selfish, I’m a console gamer myself. But Giantsoftware also so get blame for acting like a chicken with its head cut off. Giants needs to also stop using favoritism, the European and American communities should be equal. 810Modz proved this in FS19 when he released the Polish Shed. A crapy model which only got on modhub because it was Polish.

Ok here a thing I have a problem with,if a PC player pays say $55 bucks for fs 23 and I go and pay $55 bucks how is if far that PC gets all the good mods just bc it's easier. If your a good mod and want your stuff on fs 23 or any other fs you should be able to do it for both.i get it moding isn't easy but if your not good enough to mod for both then your not a very good moder in the first place

I know modding is difficult. It sucks. But think about the potential support you can gain from not only PC but console players if you could convert the PC mods to console. Just a thought

what map

Well i guess i should buy FS22 on Pc then. Since it sucks on xbox sadly

And again. And agina

This is why i gave up Buying consoles. You cannot Mod on these systems. Plus they are a limitation on a working system, a I have you now It is this or nothing.

Wht modders might not understand, is that we ask because we are interested and like your mod.

If mods are not for all platforms it's not a community
