Spring is here and so are the Easter holidays, the opportunity for the LSFM team to offer us its biannual update of its famous Hof Bergmann map. Version 1.4 is focused on bull breeding, the expansion of the poultry industry with new production lines as well as hop cultivation. Please note, as always a new backup will be necessary.
For the attention of French players who encounter download problems
The LSFM uses the host rapidgator for its free map download. This host was blocked by many French internet service providers following a court decision. For this to work, you must use the CHROME browser then in the security settings, activate secure DNS in order to bypass the blocking. See the illustration below.
Where to download and how to install Hof Bergmann
- Your game must be in version 1.13.0 minimum and you must be on PC or MAC.
- If you are playing with the Pump N' Hoses DLC, it must be in its latest patched version 1.3.0
- The map in version 1.4 is available for everyone on lth LSFM website.
- After downloading (by registering on the LSFM website), you will receive one or more RAR files (depending on whether you use the free – but slow – link or if you are a supporter (donor) with a faster link and in one file).
- Then unzip the RAR file (if you have several, make sure you have them in the same folder before starting to open the first RAR file) to find the following subfolders which contain ZIP files that you will not need unzip but use as is in your MODS folder.
- Move entire folder contents mods to your game's mods folder (usually %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods). You will have the map as well as all the mandatory mods to go with it.
Compulsory additional mods to be added manually
Attention, the game also requires the GTX script object-storage and the Move Husbandry Animals, both not included as standard. You will therefore need to add them from the modhub. Without these scripts, the map will not launch (neither in solo nor in multiplayer). In principle, when you open it, you will be invited to download the mod but it is better to plan ahead.
RAR file contents FS22 HofBergmann Map AIO Pack
- In the file Mods are all the ZIP files that you will need to copy into your mods folder. They accompany the card and are necessary to play.
- In the file optionalMods, you will find a modified version of the Precision farming in order to take into account the particularities of the card such as compost. If you want to play with precision agriculture, LSFM therefore recommends that you use this version.
If you play with the Goeweil DLC, you will also find the Goeweil Filltype mod file allowing you to use the press with the new map crops
Finally, if you play with the MAIZE Plus, you will need to add the FS22_maizePlus_hofBergmann_animalFoodAdditions.zip file to your mods folder. - In the file extras, you will find the production diagrams of the microbrewery as well as the summary of the animal feeds available on the map.
The complete French pack available thanks to Jericho
Having fallen in love with the map since FS19, Jericho once again offers us his full conversion of voices and textures on the map. To obtain the VF pack as well as instructions for updating the files without breaking everything: it's this way.
Details on additional Mods and DLCs
Precision farming is fully supported (for compost) using the modified add-on mod (in the optional mods folder) specifically to take compost into account
Le Pump N Hoses DLC is supported, with a small restriction: in some barns, mulching using dry matter is not displayed. Warning: remember to update your DLC to the corrected version 1.3 as well.
Le Göweil DLC is fully supported but absolutely requires that you remember to add in the mods folder the file FS22_goeweilPackFilltypesExtension.zip which is in the Optionalmods folder of the RAR file
The productions of Platinum DLC (ForestDLC) are not supported on the map, as there are no sell points for products.

The main additions of version 1.4
- New road texture for all main roads
- More'ground angles for a better appearance in the fields
- Adding a garden composter to place on the map, it is found in the construction menu under Building/Tools. This composter works in the same way as real compost as we know it in a garden. It can be filled with different types of organic waste. After a while, this waste turns into compost. The following fill types are supported: Grass, hay, eggs, strawberries, grapes, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, potatoes, apples, onions, manure, biowaste and compost can be added as a refill .
- Un store was arranged in the first courtyard. The farm store can only be stocked with farm products, in other words only what you actually produce yourself. Note: The goods are shown visually upon delivery, but are not displayed as actual quantity, the individual goods appear symbolically in the store and also disappear after a certain time when the goods have been sold.
- The bulls have been separated from cows as a subtype and are now an animal species in their own right, so bulls now have a use. They reproduce automatically and can be used as breeders. There are two growth levels for bulls: young bulls and bulls. A purchasable bull farm has been set up near Farm 1. It includes a stable for bulls and a collection room where bull semen can be collected. The type and structure are a little different from FS19 and are therefore more aimed at young people.
In the collection room, it is possible to support up to 4 bulls. It is recommended to use young bulls because they are more productive than old ones. You will also find a refrigerator in which to place the bull semen using a small cart designed for this purpose. When picking, the hand trolley fills with visible transport buckets. To obtain individual doses, use the hand cart unloading function. Buckets of sperm can be sold at the livestock dealer. The unloading location is at the first building and is indicated by the company name. - A the slaughterhouse, pallets of meat can now be distributed for each type of meat.
- Addition of hop as a new culture. The hop plantation is already integrated and is purchased via agricultural land, it is located above the cherry plantation. A specific hop trailer is required for collection (available at the store). The hop processing building is located opposite the weaving workshop. It produces hop husks and some organic waste that can be composted on a compost pile. Hop husks can be sold to the brewery or used for brewing beer (brewery production).
- Added a point of sale for hop balls at the brewery (since the brewery can be purchased through farmland, the point of sale was placed outside the brewery so one can also purchase their hop bales). If you don't own the brewery, the point of sale is right behind it.
When selling hop bales from your own production, they sell faster when returned. - Adding a warehouse for hop bales When processing hops, it can be controlled via laptop. It offers the possibility of storing hop bales directly from the hop processing shed, by switching the storage trigger. Please note that the trigger must be switched back to the warehouse after storage from the processing plant, otherwise no hop bales will be generated in the hop machine.
- Added a new animal species, the chickens, which are mainly used as meat animals and can be processed at the poultry farm. This species can reproduce. For transport, you can use the LSFM Livestock Trailer LST85 (latest version) or suitable transport crates.
- The poultry farm has been revised and made more interesting to offer even more possibilities. The production rate of chickens has been slightly increased in the poultry farm. The distribution of chicken eggs on the poultry farm is no longer done in boxes but in small wooden boxes, as on the main farm. They can be sold as is or packaged in the purpose-built packing machine in the processing building near the gate. Distribution here takes place on pallets which can be transported with a forklift, packaged eggs achieve a higher sales price than normal eggs. In the processing building (left side) is located a cold room where pallets of packaged eggs can be temporarily stored (based on the Giants storage script).
On the right side of the processing building, a small chicken slaughterhouse has been installed. Slaughtering consists of 4 stages of work, which must be carried out in sequence to obtain chicken meat. For processing chickens from stages 1 to 4, a crate is required to transport the intermediate products to the next stage. This crate is available in the store under Crates. The finished chicken meat can also be temporarily stored in the cold room of the poultry farm. - The farm cold room was transformed using the Giants storage script to store the following goods:
Eggs, Eggs (packaged), Cheese, Goat cheese, Butter, Strawberries, Grapes, Salad, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Cauliflower, Potato bags, Apples, Onions, UHT milk, Cases of wine, Grape juice ( packaged), pork, beef, poultry, mutton/goat Chicken, beer (case) beer (pallet) spezi, fish, fish (smoked), cherries, carrots

Your frequently asked questions
- When and where is the card available?
The card is available free of charge at the LSFM website via a restrained and multi-part download. The supporters LSFM (if you become a donor to participate financially in the LSFM community and thank the modder for his work) have a faster link and in a single file.
- Is the card console compatible?
Due to the use of specific scripts, this card is not console compatible.
- Will the menu exist entirely in French?
Lactic68 and Jericho_47 offer you the full VF pack (textures and voices) available right here.
- Where are the bakery, the butcher, the inseminator, the collection of semen from bulls, the features present on the FS19 version not yet implemented here? Ditto for cereal cakes, what are they used for?
The map will receive regular feature additions with each release cycle (approximately every 6 months). It is not impossible that sooner or later we will regain its functionality.
- Is the card multi compatible? With Courseplay, Autodrive, Precision Farming, Pump 'N Hoses DLC?
Yes for the multi but without the possibility of selling the buildings however. Courseplay works smoothly with this map, as does autodrive. Precision farming will also work in "standard" mode (i.e. with the generic soil map) on Hof Bergmann. However, the compost offered on the map will not be recognized as a default fertilizer, which is why a modified version is provided with the map.
The Pump'N Hoses DLC is accepted on HofBergmann but the map has its own biogas plant. However, nothing prevents you from installing an additional one in the building zone to the northwest.
