The Best Building Mods for Farming Simulator 25

Farming Simulator 25 is a game loaded with many new features beyond farming. One such thing is the advanced building mods. Not only will they offer plenty of functionality, aiding your livestock business, storing your crops, or helping you make money – but they will also offer plenty of excellent aesthetics, letting you build the farm of your dreams completely with the right look and feel. And who doesn’t want their farm to look good? FS25 is a game that pushes immersion even further than ever before, and buildings are now more important and complete than ever.

In this post, we will take a look at all the main types of buildings available in the game, as well as the top FS25 building mods, to help you make the best out of the game. We will look at what function they serve – and what you, as a player, should be focusing on in your playthrough. Residential homes, garages, silos, sheds, and more: let’s get right into it and see the best building for Farming Simulator 25.

Buildings for storage

Let’s begin with the most obvious use for buildings: storage. Your equipment, supplies, and crops must be fully organized and neatly stored – if not, you will quickly run into some issues. This is why you need various barns, silos, and sheds to keep everything in the right place.

Here’s an example: the price of grain fluctuates. By using a large grain silo mod, you will have plenty of extra space to store all of the grain you will harvest. Then, you will be able to make a pretty good amount of money by simply holding your crops in there until the price reaches the best possible value. This works very well for corn. It can also be a lot more convenient than driving your harvest into the selling point each time the trailer gets full. Simply dump the grain off into a strategically placed silo and later use a large trailer to sell it in big batches instead.

Due to the massive storage functionality for dry items, silos can also be used to store things such as fertilized: but that only makes sense when you have a very large farm.

Sheds are also very important—they are used to store all types of farming equipment, from small implements to the biggest and worst pieces of machinery. This is a way to keep your plows, cultivators, and other tools away from mud and rain. Alternatively, you can also use a shelter with either zero walls or only one at the back. This is meant merely to stop the worst rain effects.

Both sheds and shelters can be used to store just about anything, not just machinery. Many players use them to keep their crops and even fertilizer in them. Really, there isn’t a limit to what you can keep in a storage space. If it fits – it can be used.

Halls are yet another storage type used mostly for crop storage. Essentially, these are warehouses suited for moving large amounts of cargo. It’s the preferred method of storing root vegetables, such as beets and potatoes. Some players also use the halls to store grain, especially if, for some reason, there is no option to use a silo. You need a front-end loader to move the items from the hall into a trailer or a truck, and this method takes a bit longer than using a silo, so it has its drawbacks – but some people genuinely prefer it. A hall is also fairly customizable. They can either be open or have the gates set up, and partitions can be installed to store several different types of harvest all at once.

Animal buildings

If you plan to raise some livestock on your farm, you will have to use specialized buildings: after all, it’s a prerequisite to owning any of the animals! However, there are some excellent mods that not only look better than stock chicken coops and cow barns but also come with some top functionality. Here are a couple of examples: Enhanced Cow Barn and Chicken Coop Plus mods, including automated feeding systems and larger spaces for your animals to explore. This makes caring for the livestock a little bit easier – and really makes you feel better for not confining animals in a small space.

Buildings for production chains

Production chains have turned into a crucial feature for an FS game, and Farming Simulator 25 has seriously expanded on them, letting you turn your harvest into much more than quick money at the selling point. Because of that, there are also plenty of mods expanding on the functionality your buildings can do to help improve the production chains.

Advanced Dairy Plant and Customizable Sawmill mods are excellent for helping turn timber and milk into full-fledged products. It’s an easy way to get an extra income stream, and it lets you do a little more than just farming.

Garages and workshop buildings

Your equipment management is a very underrated and obviously important part of Farming Simulator 25. It’s necessary to have your machinery in top condition, and with mods like Deluxe Workshop, you will have access to a space that lets you do just about anything related to the maintenance and care of your vehicles, including repairs, upgrades, and customization of your harvesters, tractors, and just about any other type of machinery. With workshop mods, you should also be able to repaint your vehicles and customize their lift.

As for garages, I think this is fairly self-explanatory. It’s for storing both your cars and heavy farming equipment. It’s possible to get a mod that combines the two and lets you do repairs or even washes. You can choose either from fully open garage or swing door garage options.

Greenhouses

Who said that you can only get fruits and vegetables when the weather is good? Greenhouse mods are a great way to keep growing all year long, ignoring all the bad weather and seasonality. Mods like Hydroponic Garden and Solar-Powered Greenhouse are great additions to your high-tech farm. It’s not only great fun: if used correctly, they can turn into a steady source of solid income.

You can use a greenhouse to grow crops like zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes, and you can sell each one of them fairly easily. Greenhouses also come in many different sizes, so it’s pretty easy for you to get one that suits your capabilities and budget. The pallets near your greenhouse will fill up with the crops, which you can then easily transport to a selling point. However, not everything is fully automatic. Fertilizers and water will have to be replaced consistently, or else you will risk the destruction of your crop. But, if you maintain everything well, it’s an excellent way to make money all year round.

Selling points and markets

With marketplace mods, you will be able to get additional buildings on your map, expanding your options for where and what you can sell. These custom locations can be placed just outside your farm and customized to work best with your preferred type of crops and goods. This flexibility can be used to make good profits.

Decorating farmhouse buildings

Until then, we focused a lot on function – well, it’s time to stop this. Sometimes, in order to feel good, you have to look good, and this is where decorative buildings can be very helpful. Mods like Vintage Windmill can easily add some charm and roleplay heritage to your farm. Meanwhile, farmhouses are just something you should have: after all, this is where the farmer lives. How come your tractor has a house, but you don’t?

Yes, this is not the Sims, and it’s definitely not GTA, but Farming Simulator farmhouses are a reflection of the person playing them. Also, it’s worth adding that despite being pretty much for decoration, farmhouses will still let you fast forward time, using the “stay overnight” function. Some mods will let you get inside the building and see it, and some won’t. You can even find mods that will include water sources and storage rooms for small-scale storage, as well as a basic garage for small vehicles. You can get both a wonderful decoration and a pretty functional building if you look hard enough.
