Five short steps from a clean save to your first connected season.
Realistic Farming is a story, not a master pack: soil becomes feed, feed becomes milk, milk pays next season. Two minutes here saves you an hour of guessing which mods you need.
There is no master pack — you download the zips you want from each module's GitHub Releases and drop them in your mods folder (do not extract). The cores add no gameplay; companions run on their own.
Tick the modules you want and the picker sorts the load order, then adds the one core the game insists on (State Ledger). Copy the list and you have your download shopping list.
Load in and open the Farm Tablet with T. It grows the apps for whatever you installed. Start on the ground: read your soil, drill the good rows, and let the year carry from there.
Adding or removing a mod mid-save is a supported motion, not a reset. Playing with friends or on a dedicated box has its own short page too.
