EDIT OF March 25: Following the setbacks between Giants Software and Oxygendavid, the latter decided to publish the update 1.0.0.1 of his map on another platform. The link at the bottom of the article will take you to SimplySafeMods.
Where to start ? There are so many things to cover in telling you about Chellington Valley in Farming Simulator 19, that I don't know where to start. The location can be. We are in England, on a fictitious map that looks very real. Driving on the left is required. The land is vast, map x4 requires, and populated with 130 plots of respectable size.
On these lands you will be able to use the basic crops but also those of the Maize Plus + Horse extension mods, since they are integrated into the project. Rye, carrots, onions, horse grass, clover, etc. are therefore part of the game without additional installation. Then you will understand that this card is only compatible with PC / Mac and not consoles. (EDIT: A simplified version will be offered to console players. It may lose some of its charm but it's better than nothing.)
The map was initially created byoxygendavid but Alien Paul and Farming Agency also participated in its development. She's stuffed with scripts! The sets are rich, lively, with really nice scenes like a fun fair in the city. There are a lot of activities and homes. The interior of the farmer's house is fully realized. You can go in the shower, in your office, or in your toilet. In short, roleplay players are served.
The farms are magnificent, the animals have large fields to graze on, and many sheds can store almost everything, from small to large equipment. All farms are different, you won't have the same barn as your neighbor. And in multiplayer it is appreciable. Moreover in this game mode, each player has their own separate animals.
Let's talk about general visual. Oxygendavid card requires, the lighting system is heavily modified. Home lighting version 3.0 is finally convincing! During the day, you benefit from soft shadows all day long, and at night… well we don't see anything, but really nothing! Like a Seasons mod.
The modders have put all their know-how in this map, even adding a flooding system during heavy rains! Yes you read that right, this is a first on a modhub map. When it rains, the rivers overflow, and the fields change their earth texture (hardly noticeable). A rainbow also appears in the air. Magical !
In the end, we have here a pleasant card to play, well thought out, bug-free, and complete. What do you want more ? It is well worth its download of almost 1 GB.
