5 modding mistakes to avoid in FS25

June 2026

Editorial FS Portal checklist from catalog experience.

1. Wrong game version

Do not mix FS22 and FS25 mods.

2. Too many scripts

Enable mods gradually and test saves.

3. Map and save mismatch

A new map mod needs a new game.

4. Untrusted mirrors

Use author links only after leaving the portal.

5. Ignoring log.txt

The Giants log in Documents lists conflicting mod names — disable half your mods and retest.
