SyncCrate
Farming Simulator 25 guide · Updated
Same FS25 mods for the whole farm.
Multiplayer farms need everyone on the host's mods. SyncCrate copies the host's mods folder to each farmer, including mods that aren't on ModHub, and after the first time only what changed.

// 01 Why
Why modded FS25 multiplayer gets stuck
Farming Simulator can download ModHub mods when you join a multiplayer game. Mods from anywhere else, like community map packs, equipment from modding sites or your own edits, have to be installed by every player by hand, in the same version.
Map mods and equipment packs are large, and a player missing one, or with an older version, can't join the farm.
With SyncCrate the host's mods folder is the reference. Friends sync from it, only the files that differ are copied, and they see the list before anything changes.

// 03 How it works
Sync Farming Simulator 25 in three steps
Install and add the game
Install SyncCrate on every PC and add Farming Simulator 25 in the Game Browser. Its folder is found automatically.
One PC hosts
The PC with the setup everyone should have clicks Start Hosting. The others pick it under Scan for Hosts on the same network, or paste its join code from anywhere.
Compare and sync
Check the list of new, changed and conflicting files, then Sync Now. Only the files that differ are copied, PC to PC.
TipEvery PC needs the same game version and any DLC the mods require. SyncCrate copies mods, not DLC.
// 04 Common problems
When Farming Simulator 25 mods don't match
Mods that aren't on ModHub
The game only downloads ModHub mods for joining players. Everything else is up to each player.
SyncCrate copies every
.zipin the host's mods folder, wherever it came from.The same mod twice
Downloading an update often leaves a second copy with a different name, which confuses the mod list and can cause conflicts.
The duplicate finder on the Content page finds identical files, and removed ones stay in File history.
Big maps, slow downloads
Map mods can be large, and at a LAN party the internet connection is shared by everyone.
Files go straight from the host to each PC at local network speed, and later syncs copy only what changed.
Different versions of the same mod
A farmer with an older version of a vehicle or map mod can't join, or sees different equipment.
Everyone syncs the host's exact files, so versions match.

Good to know
- Savegames aren't synced. In multiplayer the farm lives with the host or the dedicated server.
- Farming Simulator 22 works the same way and is a separate game in SyncCrate.
- Only the mods folder syncs. Your settings and savegames stay yours.

Farming Simulator 25 questions
Do all players need the same mods in Farming Simulator 25?
Yes, players need the host's mods. ModHub mods can be downloaded when joining; other mods have to be installed by each player, which is what SyncCrate does for you.
Where is the FS25 mods folder?
In Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2025/mods on a Mac. SyncCrate finds it automatically.
Does it work at a LAN party?
Yes. SyncCrate finds hosts on the local network without internet and copies files at LAN speed.
