Building a massive agricultural empire from scratch takes time. Sometimes, you just want to jump straight into the action with millions in your bank account, a fully customized farm, and a fleet of top-tier tractors ready to go. That is exactly where custom FS25 Savegames come in!

In this guide, we will show you exactly how to download and install Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) Savegame files from fsgamemods.com on both PC and Mac, without losing your own progress.

1. Finding and Downloading a Savegame

First, you need a world to play in.

  • Head over to our FS25 Savegames category and choose a save file that fits your playstyle.
  • You will typically download a .zip or .rar file.
  • CRITICAL DIFFERENCE: Unlike regular FS25 Mods, you MUST extract (unzip) Savegame files. Inside the downloaded archive, you will find a folder named something like savegame1, savegame5, or savegame20.

2. Backup Your Current Progress (Highly Recommended)

Before making any changes to your game files, it is highly recommended to back up your current saves. If you already have a farm on savegame1, replacing it will delete your hard work forever! Simply rename your existing savegame1 folder to savegame1_backup to keep it safe.

3. How to Install FS25 Savegames on Windows PC

Installing a save file requires placing it in a specific folder within your game directory.

  1. Extract the downloaded archive. You should now have a folder named savegameX (X being a number from 1 to 20).
  2. Open your Documents folder.
  3. Navigate to: Documents > My Games > FarmingSimulator2025
  4. Look at the folders inside. If the downloaded folder is named savegame1, but you already have your own savegame1, simply rename the downloaded folder to an empty slot, like savegame5.
  5. Copy and paste the downloaded savegameX folder directly into the FarmingSimulator2025 directory. (Do NOT put it inside the "mods" folder!)

4. How to Install FS25 Savegames on Mac OS

The process is identical, but the file path is located in your hidden Library folder.

  1. Unzip your downloaded Savegame file to get the savegameX folder.
  2. Click on Go in the top Mac menu bar, hold the Option (Alt) key, and click on the hidden Library folder.
  3. Navigate to: Application Support > FarmingSimulator2025
  4. Paste your savegameX folder here. Make sure you don't overwrite your own active save slots by renaming the folder number if necessary.

5. The Golden Rule: Download Required Mods!

Most custom Savegames are built using extra mods and custom maps. If the creator built their farm on a modded map or used specific FS25 Placeables, you must have those exact mods installed in your mods folder for the savegame to work correctly.

Always check the description page of the Savegame you downloaded. Creators usually list the required FS25 Maps or scripts there.
