Installing mods

You manage mods on the Mods tab of your server in the Fragnet dashboard: go to My servers, select your server and open Mods.

There are a few ways to install mods on your FS22 server. After a mod is installed, it still needs to be activated.

The Mods & DLCs card has three views:

  • Installed mods: every mod on the server, with its version and whether it's active.
  • DLCs: the official Farming Simulator 22 DLCs.
  • ModHub: the official ModHub catalogue, ready to install.
info

Activating, deactivating and deleting mods, and installing from ModHub, only work while the game is stopped. Uploading mod ZIPs works at any time. To stop the game, select Stop in the header and confirm with Stop game. The server itself must be running for the dashboard to list mods.

Install from ModHub​

Mods from ModHub are managed by GIANTS, so you always get the version that's on ModHub.

  1. Stop the game.
  2. On the Mods tab, select ModHub.
  3. Find the mod. The Search this catalogue page box searches the page you're on; change pages with Previous and Next. If you have the mod's ModHub link, paste it (or the mod ID) into the box that says "Paste a farming-simulator.com mod link or a mod ID".
  4. Select Install next to the mod.

The dashboard waits until the server lists the mod, then tells you which file it was installed as. Mods that need other mods show Requires: with their names: install those too.

Upload mods manually​

You can upload mods from your PC in the dashboard or with an SFTP client. On your PC, mods are usually in:

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods

Upload in the dashboard​

  1. On the Mods tab, select Upload ZIPs.
  2. Drop the mod ZIPs on the Upload mods window, or click it to browse. You can select several files at once.
  3. Wait until each file shows Installed, then select Done.

Each ZIP can be up to 512 MB. New mods are installed inactive.

tip

For mods larger than 512 MB, or many mods at once, use SFTP. See How to manage your Farming Simulator 22 server files using FTP.

Activating, deactivating and deleting mods and DLCs​

Activate a mod​

  1. Stop the game.
  2. On the Mods tab, in Installed mods, turn on the switch in the Active column next to the mod. To activate several mods, tick them and select Activate in the bar that appears.
  3. Select Start game in the header.

Deactivate a mod​

  1. Stop the game.
  2. Turn off the mod's switch in the Active column, or tick several mods and select Deactivate.

Delete a mod​

Deleting a mod frees up your mod space. Only inactive mods can be deleted.

  1. Stop the game and deactivate the mod.
  2. Select the bin icon next to the mod, or tick several mods and select Delete.
  3. Confirm with Delete.

DLCs​

All official Farming Simulator 22 DLCs are included on the server. You can't delete them, only turn them on or off in the DLCs view. If you activate a DLC, players need that DLC too to join the server.

Updating mods​

The dashboard can't update an installed mod in place yet. To update a mod, stop the game, deactivate and delete the old version, then install the new version from ModHub or upload it with Upload ZIPs, and activate it again.

ModHub mods can also be updated in the FS22 control panel by GIANTS Software, under Mods. To open it, go to the Overview tab and, on the FS22 control panel card, select the open-in-new-tab icon next to Panel address.

Mod space​

The Mod space tile on the Overview tab and the bar at the bottom of the Mods tab show how much of your plan's mod space you use. When it's full, delete mods you don't need, or select Add storage to add mod space on the Billing tab. See Upgrade your server.
