Farmer Andy, the creator of the Hof Bergmann map for Farming Simulator 19, has just released an important update: 1.0.0.8. The map, based on Fellsbrunn, is heavily scripted and many YouTubers use it in roleplay since it offers possibilities, in terms of breeding, close to reality. The latest, artificial insemination and calf rearing.
Be careful, for those who are already playing on a previous version of Hof Bergmann, your save may be corrupted and it is better to start a new game.
This is a map that you won't find on the official modhub, at least not as is, and for many reasons starting with the installation. You have to go to lsfarming-mods.com, the website of the creator, which is in German / English, register (let's do things according to the rules), then download the 2 .rar files which include the map, the starting vehicles, a user manual in pdf (in German), as well as translations for the manure system and modifications for animal management with the seasons mod. Speaking of translation, an updated French version (the l10n.xml to drag into the map directory) is available here, but it is not mandatory since the card already has one.
Watch out for the Seasons mod
Farmer Andy provides a mod pack to use the map. But for the full experience, you may want to use the Seasons mod from Realismus Modding. Be careful, it is not compatible and you will have to put your hands in the sludge to activate it correctly (in particular by replacing the animal.xml file). A 2-page pdf with some explanations is provided in the map archive.
Tutorials to understand everything
The functions are so abundant, whether for crops or livestock, that it is difficult to explain everything to you in detail. Random radar checks, management of store hours, orders from individuals who buy baskets, market gardening and orchards, cultivation of Silphia, drying of grains for the malt house, compost… the list is endless!
Le YouTuber Farmer Klein, for English speakers, has started a series of tutorials for the most complex functions. We will soon provide you with some also in French on our channel.
Farming Youtubers have a blast
If you want to see the map in action, I advise you to watch the lives, in French, by JFit, who offers a series with his team.
