FS 25 MODS

First Look at NPCs in FS25 and Interaction Features

In previous versions of Farming Simulator, players could only see regular pedestrians walking around the map without having any meaningful role. Essentially, they were just animated decorations, not involved in the gameplay and only served to fill the map. In FS25, the developers have taken a step forward by adding a small group of NPCs with whom players can interact. These characters will not only make the game world more lively and realistic but also offer new opportunities for interaction.

It’s worth noting that this is just the developers' first step in this direction, but it already looks quite impressive.

• Engaging Conversations. NPCs will be ready to share stories, interesting facts, or simply chat with the player, adding atmosphere to the game world.

• Contract Missions. Some NPCs will offer various tasks that will help players earn extra money and experience. These missions will be tied to their specialties and various aspects of farming.

• Training and Advice. NPCs will act as mentors, offering tips on farm management and training tasks, especially useful for newcomers.

Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? I can’t wait to try all of this out firsthand. However, the game is set to release on November 12th this year, so we’ll have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, let’s continue our discussion about NPCs in FS25.

No Story Mode, but More Depth

NPCs will be interactive, and players will be able to engage with them. However, unfortunately, they won’t have fully developed storylines.

They will help create the feeling that you are part of a real rural community, where every resident has their own life and story. This will make you feel not just like a farm manager, but also part of the local agricultural scene and a true rural resident.

Meet the First NPC — Grandpa Walter

So far, the developers have only shared information about one upcoming NPC — Grandpa Walter. He is an elderly farmer who, despite his age, remains energetic and full of life. Grandpa Walter is friendly and enjoys telling stories about his family and local events.

Here’s what we know about him:

• Family History and Farm Life. Grandpa Walter will share stories about his family, including his son, who moved to the city to pursue a career, and his brother, who once tried to start a sugar beet business but failed.

• Farming Wisdom. In addition to his tales, Grandpa Walter can offer useful advice for beginner farmers. For example, one of his sayings: "A bad harvest doesn’t define you as a farmer, just like one hurricane doesn’t define the entire season," reminds players of the importance of persistence and patience in farming.

• Interaction and Atmosphere. Grandpa Walter is not just a static character: players will be able to see him on the farm, talk to him, and even observe him going about his daily tasks. This will add to the feeling of real life on the farm.

Where Will Walter Live?

In several videos, the developers showcased the same farm, which will serve as the starting point in the new NPC Farmer mode. This farm is located on the RiverBend Springs map, a fictional location in the U.S.

Expectations and Future Developments

Although Grandpa Walter is the only NPC known so far, the developers promise to introduce more NPCs soon, each with their own unique story, missions, and role in the game world.

So, we’re eagerly awaiting more exciting details about FS25 and the innovations that await us!
